Fifth Circuit Strikes Down Federal Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales

A 2-1 Fifth Circuit panel struck the Gun Control Act's ban on direct interstate handgun sales, reading the right to keep and bear arms to include the right to purchase. The ruling reverses a Texas district court, leans on Reese v. ATF, and openly rejects the Second Circuit's Vereen reasoning - a clean circuit split. What dealers can actually do remains unanswered.
