The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to take up a challenge to gun laws in New York that ban firearms from certain “sensitive” locations and require that handgun owners be of “good moral character.”

The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a challenge to recently enacted gun restrictions in New York, sidestepping a new case on the right to bear arms.

The U.S. Supreme Court turned away on Monday a challenge to New York firearms restrictions adopted shortly after the justices in 2022 struck down the Democratic state's previous limits on carrying concealed handguns in a landmark ruling that expanded gun rights.
