The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court overturned a dismissal of a lawsuit against a gun control law by a Clinton-appointed member of the court. Three justices joined to overturn the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of New York City’s anti-handgun possession laws.
The majority wrote, “Plaintiffs’ other challenges—to rules (1) limiting to one the number of handguns that a person can carry at any particular time, (2) mandating a 90-day waiting period between handgun purchases, and (3) limiting to two the number of handguns that a person can register on a carry license—should not have been dismissed at the first step of the Bruen analysis…”

EXCERPT:
A federal appeals court resurrected a lawsuit Tuesday against New York City targeting restrictions on handguns.
New York City has some of the most stringent gun laws in the country, according to the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA). Senior United States Circuit Judges Reena Raggi and Debra Ann Livington, both George W. Bush appointees, and United States Circuit Judge Michael H. Park, a Trump appointee, ruled that multiple provisions of the law, which include a limit on how any guns could be listed on a carry permit and a limit of one handgun purchase every 90 days, potentially violated Second Amendment rights.
