					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://staging.shootingnewsweekly.com/gun-control/sensitive-places-fourth-circuit-upholding-fairfax-parks-gun-ban-could-apply-to-the-entire-county/comment-page-1/#comment-77088&quot;&gt;uncommon_sense&lt;/a&gt;.

The 4th circuit concluded because there were *some* places in Fairfax County Parks (specifically, 3 pre-schools) where carrying of firearms were being prohibited as those were &quot;sensitive&quot; places, that the challenge to prohibiting firearms in *all* parks in Fairfax County could not stand facially. [I am not a lawyer, but a facial challenge says there are no scenarios where the law is unconstitutional or otherwise invalid].

The 3rd para is saying that the Bruen decision did not apply that same facial &quot;standard&quot; and instead (basically) said because there are (some) areas where the law is unconstitutional or otherwise valid, it withstands a facial challenge.  IE, the complete opposite of what the 4th circuit applied.

The point here is that using the 4th&#039;s reasoning, because there is &quot;one place in Fairfax County Parks [and thus, technically, anywhere in Fairfax County] that represents a sensitive place, it is constitutional to prohibit firearm possession in ALL Fairfax County Parks&quot;.  And the last paragraph expresses that by that logic, FFX County could ban in their entire county, or a State could ban in their entire State.]]></description>
