Frequently Asked Questions

What new gun control measures are being implemented in New York following the Bruen decision?

New York is proposing to require applicants for pistol or carry permits to submit information from all their social media accounts. This measure is seen by critics as an invasion of privacy and a new way to arbitrarily deny permits, similar to the 'proper cause' requirement that the Supreme Court struck down.

How does California's new law restrict firearm advertising?

California has enacted a law that makes it a crime to advertise firearms, accessories, or anything related to firearms to minors. This includes any messaging that might appeal to younger individuals, raising concerns about First Amendment rights and impacts on lawful businesses.

What is the perceived strategy of gun control advocates after the Bruen decision?

Gun control advocates are described as stubbornly resisting any ground on gun rights. Their strategy appears to be passing laws, even if unconstitutional, and then letting the courts decide, primarily to be seen as taking action and demonstrating symbolism over substance.

What is the significance of the Bruen decision regarding gun rights?

The Bruen decision, authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, is significant for eliminating the 'two-step' analysis for Second Amendment cases and ruling that requiring 'good cause' to exercise a constitutionally protected right is unconstitutional. It reinforces that the Second Amendment protects an existing right from government infringement.
