‘“This is going to say whether or not that right ceases at your front door or it’s allowed to exist beyond that.”
‘He added, “That’s at the very core of the Second Amendment. Shall not be infringed, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed . … That’s the impact that this is going to have.”’
With the U.S. Supreme Court poised to render a potential landmark ruling on its first Second Amendment case that deals specifically with firearms in more than a decade, NRA Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) Executive Director Jason Ouimet spoke with Grant Stinchfield on Newsmax about the incredible importance of this case.
The case at hand, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association (NYSRPA) v. Bruen, will be heard on Nov. 3. It deals with a challenge to New York’s onerous restrictions on carrying a firearm for self-defense when outside the home.
When asked just how big the case is, Ouimet said, “Without this, honestly, the Second Amendment might as well be rendered obsolete. This is enormous. Over a decade ago, the Court heard the [District of Columbia v.] Heller decision, right, and said that you had the fundamental individual right to own a firearm in your home for self-defense. This is going to go beyond that. This is going to say whether or not that right ceases at your front door or it’s allowed to exist beyond that.”
