In the wake of a mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo that left 10 people dead earlier this month and a massacre at an elementary school in Texas that killed 19 children and two teachers one week later, the US Supreme Court is weighing a case that could see Americans’ right to carry a gun in public expanded.
In November, justices from the newly cemented conservative bench heard oral arguments in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v Bruen, a case that challenges the state’s 108-year-old law that requires people to demonstrate “proper cause” if they want to apply for a permit to carry a gun in public.
