From scotusblog.com:

Issue: Whether New York City’s ban on transporting a licensed, locked and unloaded handgun to a home or shooting range outside city limits is consistent with the Second Amendment, the Commerce Clause and the constitutional right to travel.

WTF does the Commerce Clause have to do with this?

WTF does the Commerce Clause have to do with this?

"Though the transport ban limits New Yorkers to training with their handguns at in-city shooting ranges, the City asserts there is no discrimination against out-of-city ranges because New Yorkers can still practice there — just not with their own firearms. But that is like telling New Yorkers that they are free to golf beyond city limits, just not with their own clubs. Such a law would deny out-of-city golf courses access to in-city golfers who want to use their own clubs. The City’s transport ban likewise denies out-of-city shooting ranges access to New Yorkers who want to learn how to use their own firearms. The ban thus plainly “deprive citizens of their right to have access to the markets of other States on equal terms.”

Danke.

Basically the strategy for these briefs is to toss everything against the wall and see what sticks. Who knows what a justice will latch onto and if you don't raise it in your brief you can't raise it in your oral arguments.

A win on the commerce clause argument means nothing to us outside of the few nyc premise holders. What we want here is a broader 2A ruling.

any ruling in our favor is a good one, slowly rebuilding what was taken away

Don’t get any hopes up. SCOTUS will not take this case. Bide your time for RBG to kick.
