This comment is exactly correct. “Proof that ALL licensing schemes are unconstitutional? If a license is required (even in a may-issue state), is there a legal path for someone who is homeless and penniless to obtain and carry a firearm for self-defense? If not, there is no right, just granted privilege, at the whim of government.”
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- A nationally-syndicated editorial attempted to persuade readers on the merits of New York’s problematic “may issue” handgun permit law and why the U.S. Supreme Court should leave it intact. They made a better case for why the law should be struck down.
The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen and their decision will likely come at the end of the current term. Early reviews suggest the Supreme Court justices were skeptical of the law, which might be an insight that NYSRPA might be expecting a significant Second Amendment victory.
Time On Your Side
Bloomberg News’ Editorial Board told readers they know better about community safety, self-defense, and why law-abiding Americans, specifically New Yorkers, should or should not be allowed to carry firearms beyond their homes. They misrepresented the Supreme Court’s role and jurisprudence in arguments favoring New York’s “may issue” permit law. They claimed time and age are more important than Constitutionality.
