The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision in Labrador v. Po, significantly altering the landscape for Second Amendment litigation. The ruling clarifies when the Court will consider emergency appeals, specifically by limiting the scope of preliminary injunctions. Universal or statewide preliminary injunctions are now disfavored, with relief generally restricted to named parties in a lawsuit. This decision impacts how future Second Amendment cases can seek broad injunctive relief, potentially leading to more states and organizations being named as plaintiffs.
