The court rejects the “two-part” approach used by the courts of appeals in Second Amendment cases.
Would you please explain what that means? I've searched and found several articles, but I'm not following what they mean.
New York State, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and I’m sure others require both a background check in for you to state a reason why you Want the permit. For example, in New York City, you can pass the background check but can be arbitrarily denied because they don’t believe self-defense is a good enough reason to issue it.
The way I understand it, it takes away the “May issue” permits and forces them to issue you a permit as long as you can pass a background check.
The two-part test is the made up standard that has treated the 2nd Amendment like a second class right in the lower courts.
The first step is a threshold inquiry about whether the Second Amendment even applies. The second step is a balancing sliding scale analysis, which has let Obama appointed judges ignore the 2nd Amendment. After today, no more.
