    The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments this fall in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett, a case about the constitutionality of New York's requirement that anyone seeking a license to carry a concealed handgun in public first satisfy a local official that he has "proper cause" to do so.

    Big cases about hot button issues like gun control always attract a lot of friend of the court briefs, and this one is no exception. Many of those briefs will have zero impact on the ruling. But a brief filed this month just might make a difference.

    The brief is from a coalition of public defense lawyer organizations, including the Black Attorneys of Legal Aid, the Bronx Defenders, and Brooklyn Defender Services. They are urging the Supreme Court to overrule New York's gun licensing scheme for both violating the Second Amendment and disparately harming black and Hispanic people.

    "Each year," the groups state in their brief, "we represent hundreds of indigent people whom New York criminally charges for exercising their right to keep and bear arms. For our clients, New York's licensing requirement renders the Second Amendment a legal fiction. Worse, virtually all our clients whom New York prosecutes for exercising their Second Amendment rights are Black and Hispanic." And that, the brief argues, "is no accident. New York enacted its firearm licensing requirements to criminalize gun ownership by racial and ethnic minorities. That remains the effect of its enforcement by police and prosecutors today."

    Interesting dynamic there. You don't usually see the second amendment take on a racial dynamic though it makes perfect sense. There are a lot of laws out there that are often used like this. Drug laws in particular.

    Slightly of topic but I see so many kids get in serious trouble because they think it's cool to have an illegal gun. Kids that dont need a gun or could have got one legally but want to act like they are a gangsta. You see it on facebook, Instagram, tiktok, etc. I just cant imagine the actual hatdcore gangsters of yesteryear making TikTok videos showing off their illegal guns and how hard they are. I cant even count the number of people that livestream themself committing crimes and/or running from police. Boggles my mind.

    The real question is should the rest of society have to pay for the hospital bills of gang bangers who are rushed to the ER with gunshot wounds?

    In Massachusetts, to buy a gun you have to take a 4-hour gun

    safety course, get character references from 2 people, and have

    a 1-on-1 interview with a police officer. Oh, and it has the

    lowest gun death rate in America.

    It helps when you have one of the lowest percentages of the demographic of people that perpetrate the majority of gun violence.

    How’s Illinois gun laws like? What’s their gun death rate?

    How about California?

    Wow, and to think some here tried to say requiring folks to get an ID to vote was onerous and oppressive.

    “You’re not in their shoes! Do they have to take off from work (which they can’t afford)? Is there free transportation to take them to and from the govt office to get their ID if they don’t have a car?”

    A mass shooter shoots 9 people at a Kroger supermarket in Tennessee.
    Reporters on the scene say that multiple victims are lying on the floor.
