The Politics Of Possession And Gun Violence: The Bruen Decision's Impact On Firearm Regulation, Jacob Butler
The Politics Of Possession And Gun Violence: The Bruen Decision's Impact On Firearm Regulation, Jacob Butler
JCLC Online
States struggle to implement new firearms policies because they are
limited by two major forces: the political feasibility of passing new firearms
legislation and an increasingly broad and individualized Second Amendment
right. Due to this conflict, states continually return to one of few
constitutional yet politically popular methods of gun control: enacting
possession-based firearms laws. These laws are largely ineffective at

How does one obtain evidence located outside the United States for a criminal trial? For prosecutors, the answer is an exclusive treaty process: Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs). Defendants, on the other hand, may only use an unpredictable, ineffective, non-treaty process: letters rogatory. The result is a selective advantage for law enforcement at the expense of the defendant. Though this imbalance necessarily raises Sixth Amendment Compulsory Process Clause concerns, MLATs have remained largely undisturbed because defendants still have some form of process, albeit a lesser one. But what happens when the letters rogatory process is also closed off to the …
