John Roberts' Rule Appears Over as SCOTUS Takes up Case That Will Decide Gun Rights in America
By Bonchie | Apr 26, 2021 12:00 PM ET


After years of Chief Justice John Roberts seeing to it that major gun cases were punted on at the Supreme Court, today marks a major change on that front. SCOTUS has decided to grant cert to a case out of New York dealing with the carrying of firearms outside the home. This will be a landmark case that will shape the future of rights surrounding gun ownership in America.

Here’s Cam Edwards from our sister site, Bearing Arms, announcing the news.

The Washington Examiner provides more details.

    The Supreme Court on Monday accepted for argument a New York Second Amendment case, the first major gun rights suit before the court in a decade.

    The court accepted the case in an unsigned order, noting that the justices will consider only “whether the state’s denial of petitioners’ applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment.”

    The case arose out of a dispute over New York licensing. As it stands, New York law requires applicants for a license to demonstrate “proper cause” and a “special need for self-protection distinguishable from that of the general community or of persons engaged in the same profession.” But several New York residents, as well as the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, pushed back, arguing that such rules were unconstitutional.

Question is, will Dems manage to pack the court before this case is heard.

With Roberts in charge it probably will not be necessary for the rats to go there.

I think we have a solid majority now, even w/o Robert's. No?
