N.Y. Sun.com: The Supreme Court’s historic decision on the Second Amendment could make millions of felons eligible to own guns.
Under current federal law, the vast majority of felons are prohibited from so much as touching a gun or ammunition, on pain of punishment of up to 10 years in prison.
Some legal experts now say that the constitutionality of that law, known as the “felon in possession” law, was deeply undermined by the Supreme Court’s decision Thursday in District of Columbia v. Heller.
