Bruen's inconsistent yardstick fractures the Court's handling of gun laws

Ian Millhiser argues that the Supreme Court’s Wolford v. Lopez decision, which struck down Hawaii’s private-business carry rule, rests on the controversial Bruen framework and reveals a pattern of arbitrary Second Amendment rulings. He notes that four colonial-era laws similar to Hawaii’s were ignored, contrasts Wolford with Rahimi (which upheld a domestic-violence gun ban), and urges overruling Bruen to stop the court from making self-defeating, faithless decisions driven by political leanings rather than consistent legal methodology.

Court hints at ending Bruen-era test as gun rules come under debate

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled a federal gun-restriction law aimed at keeping firearms from dangerous people went too far, but two liberal justices urged discarding the court’s historical-tradition Bruen framework as unworkable and potentially retire the approach. The decision highlights ongoing disputes over how to evaluate modern gun regulations and could influence future cases, including Hawaii’s gun-permit rule and limits on bans in ‘sensitive’ places.

Supreme Court weighs Hawaii's default gun ban on private property open to the public

The Supreme Court will hear Wolford v. Lopez, challenging Hawaii’s law that bars carrying firearms onto private property that is open to the public unless the property owner consents. Proponents frame the rule as protecting property rights; opponents argue it makes carry effectively illegal in many public-facing spaces and tests Bruen’s historical-analogue framework. The case probes how Bruen should be applied to private-property restrictions and whether courts should look to Founding-era or 19th-century laws, with potential implications for future gun-restriction rulings.
