U.S. Supreme Court To Hear Major New York Gun Rights Case

Description

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday took up its biggest gun rights case in a nearly decade. The court will hear a challenge backed by the influential National Rifle Association lobby group to New York City’s strict limits on handgun owners transporting their firearms outside of the home. The nine justices will review a 2018 lower court ruling upholding the city’s restrictions after three gun owners and the NRA’s New York state affiliate sued claiming the regulations violated the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.” The case will be heard and decided in the court’s next term, which starts in October and ends in June 2020. The decision indicates a new interest on the court, where conservatives hold a 5-4 margin, on guns and is the first major gun case to come before the justices since 2010.
