As the country reels from mass shootings over the summer and the political branches bicker over the scope of an individual's right to keep and bear arms, the Supreme Court will meet behind closed doors this week to consider whether or not to proceed with a case that could impact Second Amendment rights.
The case, currently scheduled for early December, is the first major Second Amendment case the court would hear since the late Justice Antonin Scalia's landmark DC versus Heller 2008 opinion and a follow-up opinion two years later. Supporters of gun rights believe lower courts have been thumbing their noses at those opinions by upholding some restrictions, and are eager for a newly solidified 5-4 conservative majority of the court to take up the issue and rule in the coming months.
The New York City gun law regulates where licensed hand gun owners can take a locked and unloaded handgun.
When the Supreme Court agreed to take up the case, the law blocked licensed individuals from removing a handgun from the address listed on the license except to travel to nearby authorized small arms ranges or shooting clubs.
