Thirteen years ago, the United States Supreme Court said for the first time in American history that the Constitution establishes a personal right to gun ownership in the home for defensive purposes. Soon in its present term the High Court will be issuing its next, major opinion interpreting the meaning and import of the Second Amendment: The Justices are wrestling with the constitutionality of a New York State law requiring that applicants to carry firearms in public describe their particularized need to do so. Will they uphold the legality of that process intended to promote community safety and security or will they expand protected gun rights beyond private residences to public-community venues (as the oral arguments of late last year reflect)? And what policy options remain for federal and state legislatures attempting to address our nation’s gun violence challenges?
