The 'S v. City of New York' case challenges New York City's permit requirements for purchasing and possessing rifles and shotguns. Plaintiffs argue that the discretionary 'good moral character' standard used by the NYPD for issuing these permits violates the Second Amendment, citing the Supreme Court's Bruin decision.

What was Justice Sotomayor's role in the 'S v. City of New York' case?

Justice Sotomayor, responsible for emergency applications from the Second Circuit, initially denied an emergency application seeking to halt New York's rifle and shotgun permit requirements. This denial allowed the case to proceed without immediate Supreme Court intervention at that stage.

How did Justice Thomas become involved in the 'S v. City of New York' case?

After Justice Sotomayor denied the initial emergency application, the plaintiffs resubmitted a new emergency application to Justice Thomas. He accepted this application and has since sent the case to the full Supreme Court for conference and consideration.

What is the main legal argument against New York City's firearm permit system?
