JJ is joined by Jon Lowy, Chief Counsel and Vice President of Legal at Brady. Jon--affectionately called Lowy--has been deeply involved with a highly publicized Second Amendment case, one that seems to combine the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York and the District of Columbia v. Heller. Lowy was present for arguments on December 2nd, 2019, and provides JJ with a breakdown of the good, the bad, and the ugly of possible decisions.
Today in this Minisode, we cover:
- what the 2nd Amendment is;
- what the 2nd Amendment isn't;
- what the Heller decision meant;
- why the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York went to the Supreme Court, and why it matters;
- possible decisions...and what to do about them.
