For the first time in nearly a decade, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday will consider Second Amendment rights in a closely watched case that gun safety advocates worry could set a dangerous new precedent.
New York State went further, passing a law to ensure licensed gun owners can take their weapons to any location they're lawfully allowed to have one. The justices will consider the mootness question during oral arguments on Monday but will also likely debate the merits of the case. Gun rights supporters, including the NRA, hope the justices will use the opportunity to elaborate on a landmark 2008 Supreme Court decision affirming an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. The court has not yet fully addressed the scope of that right or how to precisely determine what restrictions are allowed.
"A broad unfavorable ruling in this case would give the NRA an opening to use the courts to stop the gun safety progress that's been made across the country," said Hannah Shearer, litigation director at Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
