High Court Won't Hear Challenge to NY Gun Law JUSTICES OFFER NO COMMENT By the Associated Press newser.com Posted Apr 15, 2013 11:48 AM CDT (AP) – The Supreme Court is staying out of the gun debate for now. The justices today declined to hear a challenge to a strict New York law that makes it difficult for residents to get a license to carry a concealed handgun in public. The court did not comment in turning away an appeal from five state residents and the Second Amendment Foundation. Their lawsuit also drew support from the NRA and 20 states. The challenged law is not one of the tough new lawspassed in January. Rather, it surrounds a decision from November, less than three weeks before the Newtown shootings, in which the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a state law that requires those who want to carry handguns to show a special need for self-protection.

Many Republicans Once Favored Gun Control Peter Beinhart: "Every now and then I encounter some random piece of historical trivia and I remember: the Republican Party used to be sane. The last such epiphany occurred when I was researching the assault-weapons ban, which first passed the Senate in 1993. Scanning the roll call, I noticed an odd letter--'R'--next to some of the senators who had voted yes. Overall, 10 Republicans voted for the assault-weapons ban back then, almost a quarter of the GOP caucus. Today, by contrast, not a single Republican senator supports such a ban. Even the Obama administration's less controversial proposal for background checks faces overwhelming GOP opposition. Today, in fact, most Senate Republicans don't merely oppose new gun-control legislation; they oppose even holding a vote."
