🔥This is such an important contribution for 2A scholarship and litigation after Bruen. It provides crucial historical context, which (ironically) is often missing, for applying Bruen's novel originalist framework. Must read!

Texas is too big, too interesting, and too important to surrender its history to nostalgia and whitewashing. I'm proud to be a charter member of the Alliance for Texas History. alliancefortexashistory.org

NY courts are struggling to interpret gun laws in light of the Supreme Court's Bruen decision - my latest with comments from Adam Winkler Eric Ruben et al nytimes.com/2024/03/16/nyr…

Bruen is having a big impact on policing illegal gun carrying. See how it’s unfolding in NYC 👇

This paper examines how the #SupremeCourt's ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. #Bruen applies to #suicideprevention laws & the challenges posed by scientific progress. Read: spkl.io/60164NtTj Subscribe: spkl.io/60174NtTd SMU Dedman School of Law Eric Ruben

Professor Eric Ruben's article, "Scientific Context, Suicide Prevention, and the Second Amendment After Bruen," was published in the Minnesota Law Review. "This Article is the first to assess Bruen as it applies to suicide prevention laws, and, in doing so, illuminates another form

SCOTUS’s opinion in Vidal v. Elster = rich text for the Court’s originalist turn. Lots of scuffling about how/if to use history. Barrett with scorching anti-originalist commentary. Sotomayor tag-teaming. All told, more signs of rifts in the originalist consensus. 👇🧵

Important article alert 🚨Eric Ruben recently published the first article to assess Bruen as it applies to suicide-prevention laws. Article linked below⤵️

After this morning's "bump stock" ruling came down from the Supreme Court, our fellow and 2nd Amendment expert Eric Ruben told MSNBC, "the outcome of this opinion means that those bump stocks are now back in civilian hands until Congress acts."

Exciting to see Justice Jackson citing my work with Joseph in her concurrence. The opinions -- 103 pages' worth -- reflect an effort to climb out of the hole Bruen created. Ultimately, lower courts will still be adrift, and SCOTUS will have a lot more clean-up work to do.

Overlooked: state cts resolve more 2A claims than fed cts and are extremely burdened by SCOTUS's ambiguous recent guidance. I highlight that burden and how Rahimi does little to resolve it (even in DV cases) @statecourtrept Brennan Center SMU Dedman School of Law statecourtreport.org/our-work/analy…

NEW: SCOTUS's Rahimi decision leaves LOTS of open questions for state courts, which are where the bulk of 2nd Amendment litigation actually takes place. Eric Ruben writes for @StateCourtRpt about this new landscape. Brennan Center SMU Dedman School of Law statecourtreport.org/our-work/analy…

Rahimi demonstrated for courts how they should be operating at a higher level of generality than the nitpicking historical analysis we’ve seen since Bruen. That’s good, but how much will it really rein in courts that are adrift after Bruen? Not a lot, explains Jacob D Charles 👇

In a new guest post today, Eric Ruben considers whether state constitutional "strict scrutiny" amendments for gun rights - which have been enacted or proposed in a number of states since Bruen - are still relevant. firearmslaw.duke.edu/2025/02/are-st…
