to dismiss the indictment because the prosecution violated the Second Amendment,
both facially and as applied to him. Upon careful review, we conclude that the
district court properly denied the motion, as Gaddy’s argument is foreclosed by our
precedent. See United States v. Jackson, 110 F.4th 1120, 1125, 1129 (8th Cir. 2024),
cert. denied, 145 S. Ct. 2708 (2025); see also United States v. Harris-Franklin, 146
F.4th 631, 637 & n.2 (8th Cir. 2025); United States v. Cameron, 99 F.4th 432, 435-36
(8th Cir.), cert. denied, 145 S. Ct. 314 (2024). Accordingly, we affirm.
