Vacated
This decision was vacated (set aside), by a higher court or by the same court on rehearing, so it has no force as precedent. The history below says what replaced it. The Supreme Court vacated the 2023 en banc judgment in Bryan Range v. Attorney General United States and remanded after United States v. Rahimi. The Third Circuit issued a new en banc decision in December 2024, again ruling for Range under revised reasoning.
More on how this was screened

All 29 flagged citations have been read. The vacatur and an Illinois court's refusal to follow the earlier federal reasoning are listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

29 later cases cite Bryan Range v. Attorney General United States; 29 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
