In a week of monumental developments in gun rights, both houses of Congress passed bi-partisan gun control regulation that President Biden signed into law over the weekend. It comes in the wake of the tragic mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, and marks the first time Congress has made significant progress on gun control since 1994. But it wasn’t all good news for gun control advocates: in a 6-3 decision on Thursday, the Supreme Court found that New York’s concealed carry law was unconstitutional. That law required individuals to show a “proper cause” and a special need to defend themselves in order to carry a handgun in public.
We speak with a constitutional law professor and gun law expert Jacob Charles, the executive director of Duke University’s Center for Firearms Law, about what these developments will mean for gun laws and guns on the street.
