Sessions v. Binderup

02.06.17

Defending the federal prohibition on firearm possession by people with felony convictions.

Court: United States Supreme Court

Issues at Stake: As-applied challenge to prohibition on firearms possession by those with felony convictions; Background checks

Summary: Everytown filed this brief in the U.S. Supreme Court, urging the Court to grant a writ of certiorari to review the Third Circuit’s unworkable opinion in Binderup v. Attorney General. If left intact by the Supreme Court, the opinion by the Third Circuit would impose overwhelming burdens on the background check system, the courts, and federal and state prosecutors.
