Bruin, I think no gun cases for a couple of years.

Then Rahimi.

And I think there was some question of, like, were they going to ever pick up the pace?

So one other piece of this is the Hermione case comes out of the Fifth Circuit, which is just striking down lots of convictions, right?

I think just today or yesterday, the Fifth Circuit struck down.

So the Fifth Circuit has an as-applied regime for felon in possession, including, I think they just said yesterday, that if your felony is meth, that's not good enough to deprive you of a gun.

Obviously, if you still use the meth, then apparently you're in trouble.

Well, if the government wins your trouble under Hermione in the Fifth Circuit, you might still be okay even then.

So I think they'll have to get one.

I think the Trump administration has tried to forestall the felon obsession cases by resuscitating this neglected part of the statute that lets felons apply for relief for their disability to the attorney general, which had been defunded for a long time by Congress.

But Pambandi found a workaround.

So that might work.

sort of lead to some percolation for a while, but I think the felon case is coming.

All right.
