{{cquote|An individual falling within a statutory prohibition that can be constitutionally applied to some may still challenge whether the prohibition can be constitutionally applied to him. That fundamental principle should apply equally to the individual right enumerated in the Second Amendment.

We should not categorically reject that claim. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.}}
