The Supreme Court rejected a bid by New York gun retailers on Wednesday to block a slew of new gun control laws in the state, which they argued violate their Second Amendment rights and hurt their businesses.

“We are challenging the ability of the state of New York to target dealers in firearms in the lawful stream of commerce, to put them out of business, which is what the new laws will do,” Capanna added. “So it really was unfortunate to see that we couldn’t get any emergency temporary injunction against those laws.” A customer looks at long guns at Coliseum Gun Traders Ltd. in Uniondale, New York.
New York Attorney General Letitia James praised the Supreme Court’s decision on Wednesday, saying that the “gun safety laws help save lives, and keep our state safer.”

Sounds like they just refused to hear it. In other words, it has to work its way up the chain through the lower courts first.
“The SCOTUS decided it must go through the normal process first before it gets to them. They made no rulings on the merits.”
The dems have decided to exhaust them with rotten laws and run out the clock until one of the majority dies or retires.
“What do they not understand about “... shall not be infringed””
Maybe as with most folks, the meaning of “the right”.
Only criminals can have guns.
On the surface I would say that the magic words are “keep and bear arms”.
There was no mention of selling. Worse, there was no mention of making.
Hair splitting may carry the day in New York for the time being
No, not everyone can move to a free state. If you don’t understand about families and jobs, you are either independently rich, completely untethered, or a blithering idiot
Wife wants to move back to NY.
I keep telling her: if we do, I’ll sue the state and nobody will be happy about it.
Do you plan on going back or was that said in jest?
Probably 75% of everything that I own that is perfectly legal in my state is a big fat felony in New York.
Yes, you can move to another state.
You won’t.
Litigation involves a trial and an appeals process after that.
Does not surprise me.
I have no business there or any place like it.
You are an utter moron.
Family first.
_I_ don’t plan on going back, though moving to the Adirondacks, maybe bits of Finger Lakes, is tempting.
She’s finally realizing productive people are bailing out of the state for reasons.
And yes I’ll sue over “right to keep” NFA if talked into it.
Won’t go anywhere near there.
Had friends from upper NY State when I lived in New Mexico. They retired in the town where I lived. Very good people, very smart people.
That was in the 1980’s.
