It is now clear that...........

...............we may no longer be able to count on SCOTUS to protect our 2A rights!

I suspect the ramifications of this decision will be extensive.

Badly worded article.

New York passed a new law to try to counteract the effects of SCOTUS' ruling that NY had to allow CC.

There's a lawsuit against that new law.

The plaintiffs attempted to block enforcement while the lawsuit is in progress.

A federal judge ruled that the new law can be enforced while the lawsuit proceeds.

That ruling was appealed in an attempt to block enforcement while the suit is ongoing.

SCOTUS left the federal judge's ruling in place, allowing enforcement of the new law while the suit against it proceeds.

SCOTUS, via Alito, noted that the action was not intended to express any view on the merits of the case.

SCOTUS didn't act on the request for a stay solely on procedural grounds, NOT the merits of the case. The case in question is still being tried in the lower courts. SCOTUS was understandably reluctant to get involved with an ongoing case. They very much prefer to deal with cases that have been completed. Their workload is big enough already without getting involved with cases that are still active.

The did instruct the 2nd Circuit to expedite the case and invited the plaintiffs to contact them again if it's not expedited.

My prediction: They'll let the 2nd Circuit come to a verdict, then overturn the case if it doesn't rigorously follow the criteria of Text, History and Tradition established in NYSRPA v Bruen.

Patience.

Please explain why the ramifications of a purely procedural step will be "extensive."
