A federal court has ruled that it is constitutional to block defendants awaiting trial from possessing firearms. The United States 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that restriction on defendants' rights to bear firearms is constitutional because it is in line with the country's historic legal procedures. The decision was unanimous by the panel of three judges. The opinion was written by Judge Gabriel P. Sanchez.
