I'm still reading this through myself, but it sure seems like it warrants a mention on the forum:
20-843 New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen (06/23/2022) (supremecourt.gov)
The very short version of it so far as I see it: licensing laws and restrictions meant to effectively contradict the 2nd amendment are hopefully on the way out "because it says so in the Bill of Rights". The only shame here is the lower courts seem to have trouble interpreting the phrase "shall not be infringed".
The longer story is I'm also working my way through "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms" and have to say it's been an invaluable introduction to a much deeper topic than I anticipated. I see references to all the cases and historical records I've been reading through in the book and feel better prepared to understand the full opinion.
