summary affirmance or, alternatively, for an extension of time in which to file a brief.

The Government is correct that Bradley’s facial Second Amendment challenge is foreclosed, see United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024), as is his Commerce Clause claim, see United States v. Jones, 88 F.4th 571, 573 (5th Cir. 2023), cert. denied, 144 S. Ct. 1081 (2024). Because summary affirmance is appropriate here, see Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969), the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
