According to the New York Times, the New York City Police Department held an "unusual" public hearing last month. The purpose? To make a Supreme Court case "disappear."
After the Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to an existing gun control regulation in the Big Apple, city officials sought to amend the regulation in hopes that it would nullify the court's future decision. Officials reportedly fear the Supreme Court will rule against the city, impacting gun regulations nationwide.
More from The Times:
The regulation allows residents with so‐called premises licenses to take their guns to one of seven shooting ranges in the city. But it prohibits them from taking their guns to second homes and shooting ranges outside the city, even when the guns are unloaded and locked in containers separate from ammunition.
The city's proposed changes, likely to take effect in a month or so, would remove those restrictions.
