Ruling is ridiculous. This would actually be a great test case for SCOTUS to take, as it basically disregarded any level of scrutiny.
He misstated his income on a loan application!
Wow, that's one dangerous hombre!

Funny thing is some white collar crimes, like securities trading ones, are exempt from firearms prohibitions and others, like lying on a mortgage application, are not...

Of course. If SEC violations were prohibitive, most of Congress would be prohibited persons.
Lying on a morgage application, well, that is to make sure us subjects know our place.

Another poorly argued case. According to the court there is historical precedent for non violent felonies including forgery. The offense committed was similar. It is hard to argue against historical precedent given that Heller said exactly that.
They failed to understand this historical precedent. The punishment for felonies was generally capital punishment. It seems pretty obvious one does not need to have the ability of self defense if the state takes your life as punishment. Today the punishment is very different different. One generally does not administer capital punishment for felonies so the right to self defense still needs to be preserved.

I don't agree.
