A civil rights victory
The Second Amendment Foundation:
The Second Amendment Foundation today won a major victory when a federal judge for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) declared the commonwealths ban on handguns to be unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.
CNMI is governed under a Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States of America, according to the ruling, written by Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona. She noted that several provisions of the Constitution are applicable to the Commonwealth through that Covenant, including the Second Amendment.
