NY State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen
June 23, 2022
Statement from Battered Women’s Justice Project
“The supreme court ruled that gun control laws like those that exist in New York should be struck down, this decision made by the highest court, is going to put more victims of intimate partner violence at risk of gun violence. A person who uses violence against their intimate partners, owns a gun, and they have a permit to conceal and carry it makes it more dangerous to the public because often times gun violence between intimate partners spills out into the streets, our places of employment, our places of worship, our grocery stores, outdoor concerts and festivals, and our schools.”
