The year 2022 produced massive changes related to gun laws in the United States; President Biden signed into law the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), legislation that implemented changes to the mental health system, school safety programs, and gun safety laws, which include more extensive background checks for gun purchasers under age 21, and clarification of Federal Firearms License requirements, among other gun related changes.
Also in 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court decided New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, a case that ruled that New York’s required showing of a “proper cause” to purchase a firearm was unconstitutional and that the ability to carry a gun in public was a constitutional right.
Join the experts as they examine the real-time effects of these developments in practice, and discuss if, and how, these seemingly conflicting rules can coexist together.
