2A Groups Celebrate Supreme Court Decision to Hear Second Amendment Case
Gun rights organizations are hailing yesterday’s announcement by the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a Second Amendment right-to-carry case challenging New York State’s restrictive gun control law. According to the groups, a favorable ruling in this case will almost certainly impact challenges to similar laws in other states and clarify the questions the Court has avoided since the McDonald v. Chicago case decided in June 2010.
“This case was made possible by the Second Amendment Foundation’s Supreme Court victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago that incorporated the Second Amendment to the states via the 14th Amendment,” says SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “SAF’s victory in that case built the foundation for this and other lawsuits against states and localities to be heard by the Supreme Court to protect and expand gun rights, and we are proud of that.”
