Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States. WikiMedia Commons). Chalk one up to the Second Amendment. Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that New York’s concealed carry permit scheme was invalidated in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v Bruen. The court’s first Second Amendment case since 2010 is NYSRPA v Bruen. The case could also affect other “may issue”, states. RELATED STORY U.S. Supreme Court Sets to Strike Down Prohibitive New York Gun Law NYSRPA v Bruen – A Win for The Second Amendment. We’ve all waited for this decision from SCOTUS for over a year. The wait is over. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of New York’s restrictive concealed carry permit law. New Yorkers no longer need to prove that they are in danger to obtain carry permits. NYSRPA (New York State Rifle & Pistol Association), stated that the decision challenged New York’s requirement for applicants to show “proper cause” in order to carry a firearm. This requirement is used regularly by New York to deny applicants the right of carrying a firearm outside their home. NRA believes law-abiding citizens shouldn’t be required to prove that they are in danger to receive the government’s permission to exercise this constitutionally secured right. According to the ruling, the court stated that “we know of no other constitutional rights that an individual can exercise only after demonstrating to officials some special need.” This is not how the First Amendment operates when it comes unpopular speech or free exercise of religion. It’s not how the Sixth Amendment operates when it comes to the defendant’s right of confronting the witnesses against him. It is not how the Second Amendment operates when it comes to public carrying for self-defense.” By eliminating the “proper reason requirement,” which requires applicants “show proper cause” to carry a firearm, public carry will be made available to law-abiding New Yorkers. This is a time when New York’s violent crime rate is on the rise and concealed carry licenses become more important than ever. The Decision The current state law denies citizens the right to self-defense and is soft on crime. New York will have to amend its state gun laws following the court’s ruling. The new laws will allow citizens the right to carry concealed guns in public for self defense. Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President, of the NRA, responded that “decades of Right to Carry laws all across America have shown that good men and women don’t make the problem.” This ruling will provide life-saving justice for law-abiding Americans who have suffered under unconstitutional restrictions all over the country, especially in cities and states with no cash bail, revolving criminal justice systems, and increased opposition to law enforcement. Justice Clarence Thomas authored the opinion, along with Justices Alito and Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett. The court ruled that New York’s proper cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment because it prevents law-abiding citizens with normal self-defense needs from exercising the right to keep and bear arm. But not so fast. Although the ruling is finalized, New Yorkers shouldn’t celebrate too quickly. New York already has plans for ways to get around it. They plan to take their time in implementing the ruling and defining what you can and cannot carry. CBS2 News reports that John Miller, the NYPD’s deputy Commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, said in a memo to CBS2 that a ruling against New York does NOT mean that you wake up one morning and your permit turns into a carry permit. However, they are taking their time to implement the ruling. Talk has been circulating about including mass transit, the subway and theaters. I don’t think there are plans to make New York City a gun-free zone. They could try, I wouldn’t be surprised. What is the precedent for other states to follow? The NYSRPA v Bruen decision will likely lead other “may issue” states in the United States to amend their laws. Seven other states currently have similar restrictive laws. These states include California and Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii. Massachusetts, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Delaware. Similar laws are also in place for the District of Columbia. NYSRPA stated, “It’s hard to overstate the importance of this case.” This decision will have an impact on the laws in many other states that restrict firearms outside of the home. NYSRPA, in partnership with the NRAILA, is working hard to defend your Constitution rights and is ready to argue this case to protect the Rights of Americans All Around.” New York is expected to quickly adopt the new ruling. Other states will follow. This decision declares that the regulations of the Second Amendment are invalid. This decision opens the door to further challenges of the Bill of Rights restrictions in the future. Larry Keane, Senior Vice president and General Counsel of NSSF, stated that “This is a tremendous victory to the rights of all law-abiding Americans of exercise the pre-existing, God-given right of keeping and bearing arms for self-defense.” This means that government bureaucrats can’may issue’ permits that reduce the Second Amendment to a second-class rights. He said, “The firearm industry is extremely grateful to the U.S. Supreme Court for faithfully applying Constitutional rights.” We are indeed.
