The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday turned away a challenge by a group of firearms dealers in New York to numerous Democratic-backed measures adopted by the state last year regulating gun purchases that the businesses said hurt their businesses.

The justices, with no public dissents, denied a request by the dealers to block the laws, some of which imposed gun safety requirements on retailers, while their appeal of a lower court's decision in favor of New York proceeds.

In a statement issued with that decision, Justice Samuel Alito, joined by fellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, said he understood the court's action in that instance to be procedural rather than expressing any view on the merits of the case. Alito wrote that the New York law at issue "presents novel and serious questions" under the U.S. Constitution's provisions on gun rights and free speech.

The June ruling also required courts to evaluate if gun restrictions were "consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation," making it harder to regulate guns in a country where mass shootings are commonplace.

Huge L. SCOTUS had the opportunity to do something right for once, but they were too busy outlawing abortions to do it.

And que the MAGA rage .. 'But but but unregulated freedom! Of our well regulated militia!'

I guess they are blocking the constitution next?

You don’t have to be a republican to understand why citizens owning guns is important.

Good. More restrictions the better.

Purposeful misrepresentation of the story. This is why you are fake news. It was procedural until it goes through lower courts. You purposely wrote a misleading headline to push an agenda.

Nooooo!!!
