Comes before the Supreme Court next week- Interesting because before he died this year Justice Stevens revealed some of the deliberations of Heller, and that Justice Kennedy added some restrictions to the opinion that Heller not be used to "cast doubt" upon other existing gun laws.
Now with Kennedy retired and a 5-4 majority, Kavanaugh may intend to restructure that framework to possibly open a few doors. In any case, first really valuable gun bill in SCOTUS in a while. Although some of the following laws NYC passed including allowing the extension of "privilege" and a bill to prevent reversion to previous laws to cover their ass, SCOTUS has hung on to the case to prevent NYC from declaring it Moot to slam the door.
Confusing at first, but worth reading about. Always hard to get hopes up, but.....
