The Supreme Court heard oral argument in the first major gun rights case they have taken up in over a decade, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York. The association is challenging the constitutionality of New York City's licensing law, which prohibits the transport of legally registered guns outside a person's home and city limits. The city argues that this case is no longer a legal issue because New York City amended the law to allow transport from one residence to another residence, gun range or shooting competition. They also stressed that the state itself has amended the law to allow the transport of a licensed gun to any location where it is lawful to have one. The justices have through June 2020 to issue a ruling.
