U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- April 28, 2020. Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court decided that a long-pending NYC Second Amendment challenge was mooted by law changes made after the case was filed. The decision ends speculation that the High Court might use the NYC case to establish new rules applicable to all Second Amendment cases in the future. It also means that ANJRPC’s pending challenge to NJ’s unconstitutional carry law could be the next Second Amendment case to be heard by the Supreme Court.
ANJRPC’s carry law challenge has been “held” by the Supreme Court for many months, meaning that the High Court did not decline to hear the appeal, but did not agree to hear it either. It was speculated that the Court may have first wanted to create new general rules in the pending NYC case, before either hearing pending Second Amendment cases directly or sending them back down to the lower courts for decision under the new rules. Now that the NYC case has been found moot, new rules are no longer forthcoming anytime soon in that case, and the door has been opened to the possibility that the High Court will directly hear one of the pending Second Amendment cases it has been “holding.” That includes ANJRPC’s challenge to NJ’s unconstitutional carry law, which effectively prevents average citizens from exercising their right to defend themselves with firearms outside the home.
ANJRPC is monitoring the situation closely and will issue further alerts as developments unfold.

Something to ponder….Attorneys or Lawyers make their living off the misery of others.
The SCOTUS is no different.
TYRANTS!!! All judges should all be removed, they can’t even understand the Constitution. All of congress, federal, state and local governments, also all judges and lawyers. None of them honor their OATHS of office. They are all TRAITORS. We the PEOPLE never gain on rights, we only keep losing! Seems they have all conspired for job security until all our freedoms are gone. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
The Second Amendment states very clearly “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”. It is very clear to me, what I don’t understand is why the Supreme Court does not just come out with a ruling that the Second Amendment shall stand as written including “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”.
Do they not have the courage? Is there another reason?
ARM UP AND CARRY ON.
There needs to be a clambering for reform of the US Supreme Court. Firstly, the constitution needs amending to require that all rulings require unanimous voting by the justices. Far too many awful rulings, Dred Scott, and ACA (2012), for example, were divided. Such reform would mandate that only constitutionalists will be appointed to the court, obviating a cabal of non-constitutionalists like the present situation. Lastly, there needs to be an age limit for justices. I don’t think I need go into an explanation for that. That one justice out of nine can determine the outcome of a ruling, is… Read more »
It’s very simple to me what the SCOTUS needs to do.
Hold their oath of office up that they took to defend the constitution.
The second amendment says Shall Not Be Infringed.
We have laws on the books for people who break the law with guns so enforce them and leave the second amendment as written by the founders.
Most disappointing that the S. Ct. would let the NY state legislature idiots get over on them. The S. Ct. is still a majority of libtards.
