United States v. Hemani · ¶81

I join the Court's opinion in full because it correctly applies our decisions in New York State Rife & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U. S. 1 (2022), and United States v. Rah imi, 602 U. S. 680 (2024). But I continue to believe that we veered off course in Bruen. See Rahimi, 602 U. S., at 741 (concurring opinion). I write separately to emphasize that means-end scrutiny—the approach courts applied before we adopted Bruen's “history and tradition” metric—offers a more rational way of assessing the constitutionality of frearm regulations.
