Nigrelli with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on behalf of Project 21, a national network of black political, civic, and business leaders. In its brief, The Buckeye Institute argues that New York\u2019s Conceal Carry Improvement Act violates the right of the citizens of New York, particularly black New Yorkers, to keep and bear arms, which the U.S. Constitution guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor decades, African Americans and other racial minorities were the targets of firearms regulations that prevented them from exercising their right to bear arms, regulations that were often enacted with racial animus,\u201d said David C. Tryon, director of litigation at The Buckeye Institute. \u201cBut as The Buckeye Institute argues on behalf of its client, \u2018Historical regulations designed to oppress racial minorities or show distrust or animus towards \u201cdisfavored\u201d groups, cannot be the basis for infringing on the right to bear arms.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, the U.S. Supreme Court clearly told New York that it was unconstitutional to deny people their Second Amendment rights by forcing citizens to prove they have a \u201cspecial need\u201d before they could obtain a license to carry a firearm. In its brief, The Buckeye Institute shows that New York has simply substituted \u201cspecial need\u201d with \u201cmoral character\u201d to deny members of disfavored groups\u2014such as minorities and the urban poor\u2014their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Buckeye Institute Urges Court to Overturn New York\u2019s Unconstitutional Gun Law Mar 14, 2023 Columbus, OH \u2013 On Monday, The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Christian v.
