The Second Amendment After Bruen

In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court upended generations of firearm control laws in the case New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen. After Bruen, gun laws will be invalidated unless they are “consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition” of firearm regulation. Challenges to countless gun laws are now underway in federal courts. Scholars, litigators, and courts are now carefully scrutinizing the history of American firearm regulations—with the country’s gun laws hanging precariously in the balance. Join two SLS students as they present their research digging into some of the new questions opened up by Bruen. The panel will be moderated by Professor Eugene Volokh.
