"We are public defenders. New York’s gun laws eviscerate our clients’ Second Amendment rights." scotusblog.com/2021/10/we-are…
"Faced with a 3.5-year mandatory minimum prison sentence, Jose pled to a lesser charge. His sentence was one year on Rikers Island — a 'good deal' for simple firearm possession in New York City. For exercising a constitutional right, Jose is now a so-called violent felon."
"That licensing requirement is the key to New York’s ban on firearm possession: It is a pretext whose true purpose is to make firearm possession unlawful. For our clients, it makes the Second Amendment a legal fiction."

Everytown's Federal Legal Director says that this lawsuit "is about the NRA's radical gun agenda, not the law," and that it "has nothing to do with the Constitution and everything to do with gun industry profits."
Everytown's Federal Legal Director says that "the NRA wants to use this case as a first step towards rolling back hundreds of gun safety laws across the country" and that it will "put nearly every gun safety law at risk"

Nelson asks McDougall about mootness. Asks if it fits into capable of repetition but evading review, or should be just kept alive for damages. McDougall says the county never said they wouldn't do it again, and they still have the power to do it again.
VanDyke asks how neutrality plays into the 2nd Amendment (as opposed to the 1st Amendment).
VanDyke says the 9th Circuit has really watered-down the concept of reasonable fit in regards to the 2nd Amendment.

Judge Nelson asks how Jacobson affects this case. Kleinfeld asks about the level of scrutiny that should be used.
Nelson asks if it matters how long the closures were: What if it was one day?

Kleinfeld says he's skeptical of the court imposing itself on government in a fast-moving situation.
Kleinfeld tells Villanueva that some of the restrictions seem "wildly nonsensical" to him.

NYSRPA v. Bruen (#SCOTUS, 20-843): Reply brief for petitioners

"The state now retreats to the equally indefensible claims that the right vanishes in 'populous areas' and extends only to those with a 'non-speculative need' to exercise it." supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/2…
"When the state is not rewriting the historical record, it is attacking arguments petitioners did not make, while defending a law it did not pass and licenses it did not issue."
"The Court should reverse the decision below and hold that petitioners have a right to do what even the state now concedes the Constitution protects: bear arms outside the home for self-defense."
