Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the emergency review requested by the Supreme Court in Sraer v. City of New York?

The Supreme Court denied emergency review in the Sraer v. City of New York case. This denial allowed the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to proceed with its own ruling, which ultimately mooted the entire case.

Why did the Second Circuit Court of Appeals moot the Sraer v. City of New York lawsuit?

The Second Circuit mooted the case because the plaintiff, Mr. Sraer, had received the rifle and shotgun permit he was seeking. The court determined that since the relief had already been granted, there was no longer a live controversy to adjudicate.

How does the Sraer v. City of New York case relate to the Supreme Court's Bruen decision?

The Sraer case challenges New York City's may-issue rifle and shotgun permit process, arguing it is discretionary and lacks historical support, similar to the arguments that led the Supreme Court to strike down discretionary concealed carry permits in the Bruen decision.

What are the next steps for the Sraer v. City of New York case after the Second Circuit's ruling?

The plaintiffs have until January 15th to file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court. This would allow them to ask the Supreme Court to review the Second Circuit's decision to moot the case and potentially address the Second Amendment issues.
