Gun Control Laws Fall as Courts Chart an Uncertain Path to the Future
More than two years after the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed and expanded its interpretation of the Second Amendment, state and federal courts across the country have struck down multiple restrictive gun laws, while leaving others in a state of uncertainty, Stateline’s Matt Vasilogambros reported. The 2022 New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen decision, which set a new standard requiring gun regulations to align with the nation’s historical traditions, has emboldened challenges to gun control laws, delivering key victories for Second Amendment supporters and raising questions about the future of gun control efforts.
