Washington State Supreme Court

Oral argument:

State of Washington v. Christopher Ellis Hamilton (Do Washington’s laws permanently disarming Hamilton for his felony conviction violate the Second Amendment as applied?) Case #104072-5


  • Hamilton was convicted of vehicular homicide, a Class A felony. As a result of this conviction, he is prohibited from possessing firearms. Are Washington’s laws permanently disarming people with Class A felonies unconstitutional under the Second Amendment as applied to Hamilton?
