US Appeals Court Rules Against Disarming Non-Violent Criminals

A federal appeals court in the US has ruled that the government cannot ban people convicted of non-violent crimes from possessing guns. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Bryan Range, who was barred from possessing a gun after pleading guilty to welfare fraud. The court found that the prohibition violated his right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. The decision is the latest defeat for gun control laws in the wake of a US Supreme Court ruling last year expanding gun rights nationwide.
