This video provides an expert analysis of the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen, which fundamentally altered concealed carry laws across the United States. The ruling shifted the legal standard for firearm restrictions from balancing tests to a 'text and history' approach, requiring any restriction to be historically rooted. The video details the end of the 'proper cause' requirement in states like New York and California, the subsequent legislative responses creating 'sensitive places,' and ongoing legal challenges to these new laws. It also touches on data debates regarding shall-issue laws and their impact on crime rates.

The Supreme Court's Bruen decision fundamentally altered the legal landscape for firearm regulation in the US. It replaced the previous two-step balancing test with a single question: does the plain text of the Second Amendment cover the action, and if so, does the restriction align with historical tradition of firearm regulation from the founding era. This has led to the invalidation of 'may issue' concealed carry laws, challenges to training requirements, and ongoing legal battles over bans on commonly owned firearms.

This video analyzes the Illinois case Guns Save Life v. Kelly, arguing it sets a precedent for civilian disarmament by misinterpreting Bruin's footnote 9 and Raheem's language.

This interpretation could enable widespread gun control legislation across the country.

New York) strengthening Second Amendment rights by striking down 'may issue' concealed carry laws, and the passage of new federal gun control legislation.
