Federal Judge: Northern Mariana Islands Handgun Ban Violates 2nd Amendment
A Federal judge ruled that the handgun ban for the U.S. territory officially known as the "Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands" violates the Second Amendment.
This territory of nearly 54,000 residents had a ban “from possession and importing handguns and handgun ammunition.”. The suit was bought by the SAF (Second Amendment Foundation) after an incident where a wife of an American citizen was attacked and filed suit to keep a gun for self defense purposes.

"Manglona is the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands.
According PR Newswire, Manglona ruled the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is bound by the restrictions placed upon it by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And Manglona particularly cited the fact that the CNMI handgun ban violates Second Amendment protections."
This is another win for our side and will have a direct impact on the 9th circuit court according to the article. The article goes on to say that solidifies the Heller and McDonald victories.
"On March 28 SAF founder and executive vice president Alan Gottlieb told Breitbart News the ruling “will have a direct impact in the 9th Circuit [and] it is another affirmation of the Second Amendment victories in Heller and McDonald."
