Professor Jacob Charles Quoted in "Newly Empowered in State Legislatures, Democrats Target Gun Control" -- Washington Post

Professor Jacob D. Charles is quoted in the Washington Post article, "Newly Empowered in State Legislatures, Democrats Target Gun Control."  The article examines gun control proposals in several states and the nationwide wave of legal challenges to long-settled gun restrictions following the Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

Excerpt from "Newly Empowered in State Legislatures, Democrats Target Gun Control"

“I guarantee all these laws will be challenged on Second Amendment grounds,” said Jacob D. Charles, a Pepperdine University professor who specializes in firearms law. “A lot of laws that were previously viewed as constitutional are suddenly cast into doubt because of the Bruen ruling. And if a judge decides to enjoin the law while it is being challenged, it could be years before it goes into effect.”
