On June 23, the U.S. Supreme Court scrapped a New York
law requiring individuals to show "proper cause" in order
to obtain a license to carry a firearm outside a home.
'Newsweek' reports that the 100-year-old law was challenged by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association and gun owners Brandon Koch and Robert Nash.
Koch and Nash reportedly argued that they were denied
unrestricted gun licenses by the state due to allegedly
failing to meet "proper cause" requirements.
All that we decide in this case is that
the Second Amendment protects the right
of law-abiding people to carry a gun outside
the home for self-defense and that
the Sullivan Law, which makes
that virtually impossible for most
New Yorkers, is unconstitutional, Samuel Alito, Supreme Court Justice, via 'Newsweek'.

Because I cannot agree with the Court's
decision to strike New York's law down without
allowing for discovery or the development
of any evidentiary record, without considering
the State's compelling interest in preventing
gun violence and protecting the safety
of its citizens, and without considering
the potentially deadly consequences
of its decision, I respectfully dissent, Stephen Breyer, Supreme Court Justice, via 'Newsweek'.
