Nor are any of the laws on the laundry list defensible as unbroken traditions that reflect the original understanding. Some originalists, including Justice Scalia, argue that courts should defer to "constant and unbroken national traditions" that reflect the original meaning. See United States v. Virginia, 518 U.S. 515, 568 (1996) (Scalia, J., dissenting). But none of these exceptions originated in the Founding era or even in the immediate post-Revolutionary period. They are instead products of the popular understanding of the right to keep and bear arms as it evolved in the twentieth century. Would the ban on handguns be permissible today if it had been adopted in the 1930s instead of the 1970s, and if it was adopted by many jurisdictions rather than just a few? That seems to be enough for the Heller majority. But an originalist would demand that any tradition be consistent with the original meaning of the text. Otherwise, tradition trumps text. When the trumping tradition first emerges in the twentieth century, then the scope of constitutional protection is evolving to reflect contemporary values, conditions, and preferences. In short, we have a living Constitution.

Gun rights for felons?
-
July 22, Heller, however, suggested that "the people" referred to in the Second Amendment should be treated the same as "the people" referred to in the First and Fourth Amendments
-
Scholars have offered two historical bases for excluding felons from the Second Amendment. One argument is that felons were not part of "the people" mentioned in the Second Amendment. See Don B. Kates, Gun Rights for Felons?, N.Y. POST, July 22, 2008, available at http://www.nypost.com/seven/ 07222008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/gun-rights-fbr-felons-120908.htm . Heller, however, suggested that "the people" referred to in the Second Amendment should be treated the same as "the people" referred to in the First and Fourth Amendments.

Heller, 128 S. Q. at 2790-91. Felons retain their rights under the First and Fourth Amendments, so Heller would seem to mean they must retain their rights under the Second Amendment too. Second, some have argued that the Founders understood the right to keep and bear arms to extend only to "virtuous" citizens

A critical guide to the second amendment
-
Glenn Harlan Reynolds, A Critical Guide to the Second Amendment, 62 TENN. L REV. 461, 480 (1995). While this may be historically accurate, if anything it suggests the necessity of abandoning the original meaning of the Second Amendment. In modern constitutional law, rights are not selectively doled out by legislatures to those whom elected officials deem to be sufficiently virtuous or worthy. Indeed, for years gun rights advocates have railed against discretionary permitting precisely because it wrongfully allowed government officials to selectively grant the right to keep and bear arms. All this is not to say that felons shouldn't be disarmed. They should be. But it is not because they don't have the right to keep and bear anns. They do. But like all rights, the Second Amendment right can be limited when government has sufficiently good public policy reasons to do so. That some people are not virtuous enough for the legislature's liking is not a good public policy reason. That some people are too dangerous to permit to have firearms is. See infra text accompanying and following notes 118-119.

While states passed their own restrictions on felons possessing firearms during this era, the federal government effectively banned felons from purchasing firearms through the Federal Firearms Act of 1938. See Federal Firearms Act (Copeland Firearms Act), ch. 850, 52 Stat. 1252 (1938) (codified as amended at 18 U.S.C. §921-31 (2005)) (repealed 1968)
