U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Yesterday the NRA-ILA and the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association filed a reply brief asking the Supreme Court to hear a case challenging New York’s restrictive concealed-carry-licensing regime.
This case challenges New York’s requirement for applicants to demonstrate “proper cause” to carry a firearm. New York regularly uses this requirement to deny applicants. New York’s practice is unconstitutional because the Second Amendment “guarantees rights to ‘keep and bear arms’ to all ‘the people,’” the brief argues, not just to the select few that the state deems worthy.
The NRA and its allies petitioned the Supreme Court to hear this case on December 17, 2020. The NRA received amicus support from 23 state Attorneys General seeking to “safeguard their citizens’ fundamental rights, including the right to bear arms in self-defense outside the home.” New York filed a Brief in Opposition on February 22, 2021. This is the final step in the petition process.
The NRA is dedicated to protecting the Second Amendment rights of its members, and this action is just the latest in the NRA’s fight to protect and expand the ability of all Americans to exercise those rights. This is the fifth time that the NRA has asked the Supreme Court to hear a Second Amendment case in the last three years.
The case is called New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. The case was previously called New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Corlett. The change in names is due to the Superintendent of the New York State Police having changed since the lawsuit began.

“The NRA is dedicated to protecting the Second Amendment rights of its members, and this action is just the latest in the NRA’s fight to protect and expand the ability of all Americans to exercise those rights.” This is one of the biggest lies I’ve ever heard from the NRA. The fact that the NRA supported the NFA, GCA, Mulford Act, Hughes Amendment, import bans, NICS, red flag laws, bumpstock ban, and FixNICS proves that they are not dedicated to protecting the 2A. They’re nothing but a bunch if butters and Fudds. They’re dedicated to being controlled opposition. They’re dedicated… Read more »
The sooner these 2A cases are heard and ruled by SCOTUS the better. The antis want these cases dragged out indefinitely, in the hope one or more “conservative” justice dies or retires. Don’t discount this. The Dems, who are four square for onerous gun restrictions, are in complete control on the Federal level of government. Our arguments and narratives don’t mean squat to them. They’ve succeeded, on rhetoric, to conflate us with the criminal element. They want us vanquished. Sorry, I must say the truth. The only hope now is unity and defiance.
I don’t trust the SCOTUS any more than I trust the FBI or NSA, or CIA, and damn few in the Congress and Senate.
Get Out,
It isn’t SCOTUS’ job to interpret the 2A or any other part of the BoR. Their job is to see if OTHER laws comply with the BoR AS WRITTEN. Any other action on their part is Usurpation of authority.
