NEW YORK—The U.S. Supreme Court will hear its first major gun rights case in nearly a decade in a challenge backed by the National Rifle Association over a now-amended New York City regulation that had restricted licensed owners from taking their firearms outside the city.
The nine justices will hear arguments on Dec. 2 in an appeal by three handgun owners and the New York state affiliate of the NRA, who say the regulation violates the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
