On September 21, the Biden Administration filed an amicus brief in the pending U.S. Supreme Court case of New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, supporting New York’s draconian and unconstitutional restrictions on the right to bear firearms in public for self-defense.
This NRA-supported challenge to New York’s “may-issue” licensing scheme for public handgun carry will be the first Second Amendment challenge to a firearm law to be considered by the high court on the merits since 2010.
New York’s law presumptively denies the right to bear arms for self-defense unless a license applicant can demonstrate a special need for self-protection that distinguishes the person from the general population.

For more than a century New York....especially New York City...has made it standard practice to deny virtually everyone the right to self defense under the Second Amendment. The Sullivan Act is one of the more long standing and egrigious violations of the Right. They are merely seeking to now codify that illegal abuse as a permanent form of Illegal Law (sic). Only in America can you find government lawyers seeking a legal ruling to allow them to violate the most fundamental law of the land.
