Supreme Court hears arguments on scope of gun rights in major Second Amendment case | full audio

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday for New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, a case challenging a New York gun law that restricts the right to carry a firearm in public.

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

It is beyond hypocritical to see some of the Justices on here(Breyer) speak about how dangerous guns are, as they can request armed guards escort them where ever they go if they want.

Lawyers talk too much. If you have to pay for the ability, and/or can be denied permission, to have or bear arms, then your right is being infringed. Everything else is meaningless.

Listening to this case convinced me to start voting pro-gun. It was gross to listen to the state of New York and the solicitor general trying to convince the supreme court to take away these people’s rights. That and the way things are going under Biden, I am permanently done with the left.

The New York Law basically guts the second amendment, turns it into a privilege. Under such a law those who cannot prove they have a special need to carry a firearm outside the home, will not be granted a permit to do so. That is a privilege, not a right

I’m a gunsmith carry guns is not dangerous not knowing what your doing is dangerous I don’t hear people saying carrying knives are dangerous FBI statistics more people died from knifed and hands and feet

[chasekirkman]

Under the second amendment I should be able to open carry or conceal carry void of permit or licenses. Why is that these law makers get to imply ill intent on law abiding citizens with no felonies and when no crimes have been committed. In reality every offense should be taken case by case post crime taking place. All citizens are assumed innocent until Proven Guilty! Stop trampling our rights!

If I have a valid drivers license issued from my State that allows me to drive in EVERY STATE, then why if I have a carry license issued by that same State why is it treated differently ?

[IronskullGM]

That Lawyer just exposed the elitism in government in New York that doesn't care what the common man needs or wants. They truly see us as peasants. We really need to reassert the voice of the common man within this nation.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

I’m a hiker, i was granted a restricted concealed carry for hiking and camping in upstate NY then found out you’re not allowed to carry with a restricted license out in the woods. Got denied for an unrestricted when applied. I sure hope this chances things a little bit for us up here because being out there with nothing to protect yourself with against animals can be really scary sometimes specially in the dark when going for sunrise and sunsets

Let them folks carry the criminals can’t be the only ones !

You shouldn't be able to monetize SCOTUS audio. This is a service to the people and you shouldn't have ads.

Football stadium or other private venue can restrict firearms. It is a private business. I don't patronize those places if there is a pat-down or metal detector.
