The Supreme Court, the Second Amendment and Consumer Protection
It turns out that New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York was not a watershed Second Amendment decision. That much-discussed case concerned a New York City prohibition on the transportation of firearms outside the city. After the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and before oral argument, state and city laws were changed to permit individuals to transport firearms. These changes in the law rendered moot a case that many observers believed could provide the court an opportunity to expand upon its Second Amendment doctrine in favor of gun rights advocates.
