LAW REVIEW
The United States Supreme Court
held the Second Amendment
would require the government to
demonstrate the firearm regulation is
" consistent with the Nation's historical
tradition of firearm regulation " in the
case of New York State Rifle and Pistol
Association v. Bruen.
Uncertain Firearm Tradition
in Nation's Parks
By James C. Kozlowski, J.D., Ph.D.
I
n the case of New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, 142
S. Ct. 2111, 213 L. Ed. 2d 387 (2022), the United States Supreme
Court held the Second Amendment would require the government
to demonstrate the firearm regulation is " consistent with the Nation's
historical tradition of firearm regulation. " In so doing, the Supreme
Court did not provide clear guidance to the lower federal courts regarding
what laws would constitute relevant evidence to establish the required
" historical tradition of firearm regulation " in the nation's public parks.
As a result, until the Supreme Court provides such clear guidance, as described
herein, one can expect continued disagreement among the lower
federal courts whether existing firearm regulations in public parks are
consistent with the Second Amendment.

case of confrontation. " 554 U.S.
570, 592, 128 S. Ct. 2783, 171 L.
Ed. 2d 637 (2008). The Supreme
Court, however, emphasized that
" the right secured by the Second
Amendment is not unlimited, "
including " longstanding
prohibitions on the possession
of firearms " in " sensitive places
such as schools and government
buildings. " In 2010, the Supreme
Court in McDonald v. City of Chicago
held the Second Amendment
rights recognized in Heller were
incorporated against the States
through the Fourteenth Amendment.
