The Supreme Court appears ready to strike down New York’s policy of issuing “concealed carry” permits only to people who show that they need a gun for self-defense. But it may not be the landmark case that gun advocates hoped. jaymichaelson writes
Gabby Giffords, former U.S. Representative from Arizona, speaks during a rally on gun control outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, November 3, 2021. The court is hearing its biggest Second Amendment case in more than a decade today when it considers a challenge to New York’s tight limits on the right to carry a concealed handgun in public.
At oral argument, New York’s solicitor general, Barbara Underwood, disastrously fumbled a series of questions about this requirement. Justice Alito told a compelling hypothetical story about someone working late at night in Manhattan who commutes by bus or train, and then has to walk home alone in a high-crime neighborhood.
But thanks to decades of lobbying by gun manufacturers and the NRA, legal history was changed in 2008, and advocates of gun control now have to deal with it. Second Amendment rights exist, and with this conservative-dominated Court, they’re only going to expand.First, the Heller case said that to establish the boundaries of a constitutional right, courts should look to “text, history, and tradition.
There was even an extended debate, with audible laughter in the background, about whether New York University has a campus or not — and thus whether guns could be banned from there as well.
