Federal law requires defendants who are charged with possession of child pornography to divest themselves of firearms, as a condition of bail.
One Jason Arzberger was so charged. He appealed the judge's bail order, and a U.S. Magistrate in the Southern District of New York declared the portion of the federal law that prohibits defendants from possessing firearms unconstitutional on a 2nd amendment basis.
I think this is not even a binding ruling for the district where it was decided (yet), but it is precedent.
