WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court took up its biggest gun rights case in nearly a decade on Jan. 22, agreeing to hear a challenge to New York City’s strict limits on handgun owners transporting their firearms outside of the home.
The nine justices will review a 2018 lower court ruling upholding the city’s restrictions after three gun owners and the NRA’s New York state affiliate sued claiming the regulations imposed in the largest American city violated the Constitution’s Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
