Pro-Constitution Federal Ruling on 2nd Amendment/Firearms Challenges in No. Marianas

Federal judge*Ramona Manglona,*chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, has struck down the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands’ (CNMI) ban on “assault weapons” and firearm registration requirements while upholding the constitutionality of openly carrying firearms.

Court documents stress that the CNMI is bound by “the Constitution, treaties, and laws of the United States.” This means constitutional provisions “covering civil rights and liberties” in the United States apply equally in CNMI; this includes the Second Amendment.
