The Supreme Court May Dismiss A Gun Case, But Others Wait In The Wings

After a much-anticipated showdown over gun regulations at the U.S. Supreme Court in early December focused on procedure over substance, advocates on all sides are waiting to see if the court dismisses the case.

The court heard arguments on Dec. 2 in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York, New York. Rather than focus on the Second Amendment, much of the discussion centered on whether the court should even discuss gun issues at all.

Instead, the court focused on whether the repeal of the law at the center of the case made the issue moot.
