Espanola Jackson v. City and County of San Francis

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that in the context of step two of Heller, “we are likewise guided by First Amendment principles”
• holding that, unless understood to protect the corollary right to possess ammunition, “the right to bear arms would be meaningless”
• holding that, even if the relevant science were “an open question,” that conclusion “is insufficient to discredit [a legislative body’s] reasonable conclusions”
• holding that hollow- point ammunition is covered by the Second Amendment because of the “corresponding right to obtain the bullets necessary to use firearms” (cleaned up)
• concluding that the fit was reasonable even though the regulation could have been drawn more narrowly, because the burden was minimal and intermediate scrutiny does not require the least restrictive means
• noting that, under the second step of the inquiry, courts should consider whether firearm regulations “leave open alternative channels for self-defense”
