OPINION

HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff-Appellant Oakland Tactical Supply, LLC (Oakland Tactical) leased a parcel of land in Howell Township, Michigan (the Township) with the intention of constructing and operating a commercial shooting range offering long-distance target practice. It has been unable to do so, however, because the Township’s zoning provisions limit the parcel to agricultural and residential uses. Oakland Tactical and five Michigan residents who wish to train at its proposed range sued the Township, alleging that its zoning restrictions violate the Second Amendment. The district court granted the Township’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, concluding the zoning restrictions did not violate the Second Amendment. While Plaintiffs’ appeal was pending, the Supreme Court announced a new framework for deciding Second Amendment challenges in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022). We remanded for reconsideration in light of Bruen, and the district court again granted judgment for the Township. We AFFIRM.
