NRA Urges Supreme Court to Take Concealed Carry Case

NRA Gavel Law
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 IMG NRA-ILA

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.

go after the 1934 gun control act and nulify it ,it violates the constitution . scotus said in miller ruling protected type of weapons are what would be useful to a militia, so shortbarreled shotgun is legal and this ruling should be updated to correct the flaw ,the second is about protection from bad government

The problem being hardly anybody even knew about the NFA at the time and it was never challenged in Court. So the Government deemed silence as approval and they have been infringing the 2A ever since.
BTW, all that started in 1874 with the Women’s Temperance Movement in Cleveland, Ohio which resulted in Prohibition, the Volstead Act and finally the 1934 NFA.
Women caused all the gun control. Research it and follow the trail. I did.

At the time the NFA was enacted, the NRA was mostly a gun club and defense of law-abiding gun rights was in its infancy. It took another thirty years, apropos to the three high profile assassinations, for our opponents to organize and become a force to be reckoned with.

“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 Second Amendment IS BIG BUSINESS. Where else would ole Wayne get $20,000 suits and his little trollop’s apartment rent paid??? 2A defenders….NRA, GOA, SAF….are little more than the flip side of politicians. Gotta have:
victims….gun owners/blacks/trade workers…..
big scary bad guy…..politicians/gun owners/business owners……..
saviors…. 2A protectors/Libtard politicians/union leaders.
Same formula just flip the names/roles to suit
We’re all on our own..

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.

“Good LEOs don’t follow bad orders to arrest people for not asking permission to own a firearm without registering it.”

“LEOs who do follow bad orders to arrest people for not asking permission to own a firearm without registering it are bad. These LEOs should not expect to continue to be the beneficiaries of the goodwill that has historically been expressed by a large percentage of the firearm community.”

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.

IMOA, SCOTUS hasn’t been able to interpret the 2nd Amendment in a long time. They’re supposed to be the “smart” ones but are unable to rule that all gun control laws are an infringement on our gun rights.

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.

It’s painfully obvious SCOTUS has failed at doing their job with these gun laws that don’t comply with the BoR as written in awhile either. SCOTUS needs to rule any and all gun laws do not comply with the 2nd Amendment as the BoR was written.
