Supreme Court to Hear First Major Gun Case in Nearly a Decade
-------------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Court is slated to hear its first major gun case in nearly a
decade. The justices will hear arguments today in a case over a New York
City law that prohibited handgun owners from carrying their weapons
anywhere other than seven firing ranges inside the city limits. The law
has since been changed, and justices will first consider whether the
case is moot and should be thrown out because the restrictions have
already been reversed.
