The Supreme Court, which ruled 6-3 against the statute along partisan lines, claimed that the restrictions were too burdensome and not in compliance with the Second Amendment.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against a New York state law that placed restrictions on residents seeking to obtain a concealed carry permit to carry a gun in public., required residents seeking concealed carry permits to provide a reason why they needed to carry a gun while they were in public.
“Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State’s licensing regime violates the Constitution,”, adding that governments “may not simply posit that the regulation promotes an important interest” when it comes to regulating guns.
Outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer, in his dissent for the liberal minority bloc of the Court, noted that conservative members on the bench were dismissive of the need for tighter restrictions on guns. He began his dissent by listing statistics relating to gun violence, including the fact that over 45,000 Americans were killed by firearms in 2020, and that there have been 277 mass shootings recorded in this year alone.
“Many States have tried to address some of the dangers of gun violence just described by passing laws that limit, in various ways, who may purchase, carry, or use firearms of different kinds. The Court today severely burdens States’ efforts to do so,”
