- Abstract
- Vivian Brown has been criminalized for exercising her core Second Amendment right. She is a lifelong peaceable citizen with no criminal history. She possessed a most modest firearm, a single-shot .22 bolt-action rifle, for the undisputed purpose of self-defense in her home. The law making it criminal for Ms. Brown to engage in activity at the Second Amendment’s core is unconstitutional as applied to her.
