Fifteen states have joined to support New York's efforts to defend the Empire State's defense of its ability to control the carrying of guns in public. The issue yielded an unnerving oral argument in which hostile conservatives like Associate Justice Samuel Alito cast themselves as defenders of the safety of fearful doormen going home alone late at night. The six conservatives cast aside all deference to state authorites and demanded states do no more than what the Nation historically did to control the possession of weapons.
Legislators in New York and New Jersey responded with legislation aimed at preserving as much as possible of their longstanding gun control regimes - the heart of which is that an applicant show a personal need for the gun to the satisfaction of the local police chief. But the United States Supreme Court in a blunt opinion declared such measures a denial of a fundamental right. Self defense is the core claim which the court's voice on the issue Clarence Thomas said can only be regulated by states in a mannerclosely analogous to the traditional limits the Nation has placed on gun possession. That narrow measure apparently excludes the New York and similar New Jersey approaches.
Now District Judges have voided the bulk of the quickly passed legislative measures. In New York Antonyuk v. Hochul, Governor the restrictions on concealed carry in public places were enjoined.
After battle over the stay pending appeal granted by the District Judge the United States Supreme Court, over the objection of Associate Justices Thomas and Alito. Now the City has gained the Support of amici fifteen states.ttps://www.dropbox.com/s/3kghonzt1v2jw6v/Antonyuk-v-Hochul---Multistate-Amicus-Brief---FINAL.pdf?dl=0
