Justice Sotomayor Orders New York to Answer Emergency Request to Block Gun-Carry Law
New York will have to tell the Supreme Court why it should be able to keep enforcing its latest gun-carry law after the Court struck down the previous one.

Sotomayor could either decide on the motions herself or refer them to the full Court. The outcome will immediately determine whether New York’s latest restrictions will remain enforced. More significantly, if the full Court makes the decision, it will provide the first insight into how it will handle gun cases after Bruen. Whether the Court gets involved in the case at this point and what they decide could signal how aggressive it plans to be when confronted by lawmakers who hope to defy or circumvent Bruen. It could also help further flush out Second Amendment protections, which have received relatively little Supreme Court attention compared to several other amendments.
