Videos tagged with NY Rifle and Shotgun Licensing

This video analyzes a Supreme Court decision regarding New York's firearm permit laws, specifically the "good moral character" requirement for rifles and shotguns. The court denied an emergency application to lift a stay, allowing the Second Circuit to dismiss the case as moot because the plaintiff eventually received a permit. This procedural maneuver prevents a merits-based ruling on whether discretionary licensing schemes violate the Second Amendment, as established in the Brewan decision. The analysis highlights the potential for such tactics to shield laws from constitutional review, leaving gun owners in legal uncertainty.
