Supreme Court Unanimously Decides First Firearm Case In A Decade
The Supreme Court of the United States recently took up its first firearm-related case since 2010, Caniglia v. Strom. The new Supreme Court firearms case stems from an incident in 2015, in which the Cranston Police Department in Rhode Island seized the Caniglia’s firearms after an implied suicidal statement. The case was moreso a Fourth Amendment issue, but also very much tied to firearms since a firearm was involved in the incident, as was the “ community caretaking” exemption case that the police based their seizure on.
