Frequently Asked Questions

Is New York City issuing fewer gun permits after the Supreme Court's Bruen decision?

Data suggests New York City's NYPD is issuing fewer gun permits post-Bruen. In 2022, only 21% of applications were approved, a significant drop from 56% in 2021, despite an increase in applications. This has led to a class-action lawsuit alleging delays.

What was the 'proper cause' standard for gun permits in New York?

Before the NYSRPA v. Bruen Supreme Court decision, New York required applicants to demonstrate 'proper cause' to obtain a gun permit. This standard implied a need for a specific justification, which critics argue was subjective and potentially corruptible.

How has the 'shall issue' mandate affected New York gun permits?

Following the Bruen ruling, New York is expected to operate under a 'shall issue' system, meaning permits should be granted unless there's a specific reason to deny. However, data indicates approvals have decreased, suggesting potential defiance of this mandate by the NYPD.

What are New Yorkers doing in response to restrictive gun laws?

Some New York City residents are reportedly resorting to 3D printing their own firearms as a way to circumvent restrictive gun laws and the difficulties associated with obtaining legal permits. This trend is seen as a form of defiance against gun control measures.
