The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) petitioned the Supreme Court Tuesday to take a case involving a stun gun ban, accusing a federal appeals court of flouting a decade-old ruling by the high court.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court ruled in Caetano v. Massachusetts that a ban on stun guns was unconstitutional on Second Amendment grounds in a unanimous per curiam (unsigned) ruling released on March 21, 2016. SAF referenced the 2016 decision at the opening of its for a writ of certiorari.

\u201cThis case essentially is Caetano 2.0. In Caetano v. Massachusetts, this Court summarily vacated a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision denying Second Amendment protection to stun guns that blatantly \u2018contradict[ed] this Court\u2019s precedent,\u2019\u201d SAF said in the petition. \u201cThe decision below similarly flouted this Court\u2019s precedent to reject a challenge to a ban on stun guns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Second Amendment Foundation Senior Director of Legal Operations William Sack told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which includes the state of New York, \u201csidestepped\u201d the high court\u2019s 2016 decision.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the Second Circuit did was they took the common use test that belongs in the second step and they moved it to the first step,\u201d Sack said. \u201cSo what they said was the Second Amendment plain text is only implicated if you\u2019re talking about arms in common use. That is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his opinion concurring with the Supreme Court\u2019s per curiam ruling, Associate Justice Samuel Alito noted that \u201chundreds of thousands\u201d of stun guns were sold across dozens of states.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile less popular than handguns, stun guns are widely owned and accepted as a legitimate means of self-defense across the country,\u201d Alito wrote. \u201cMassachusetts\u2019 categorical ban of such weapons therefore violates the Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n
