The U.S. Supreme Court turned down on Oct. 10 an emergency application from gun dealers to block New York state police from implementing background checks in ammunition purchases and from carrying out on-site annual inspections of gun dealers.
New York is one of several states that critics say is openly defying the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, which struck down a New York gun law and held that there is a constitutional right to carry firearms in public for self-defense.
