State Senator Andrew Gounardes spoke with the Eagle and mentioned that the Bruen decision indicates the “just cause” or “may issue” doctrines that many states use to regulate firearm licensing are considered too subjective for the Supreme Court, but change requires reform “driven by federal legislation” for significant impact.” Read the rest of our “State Senate Passes Sweeping Gun License Legislation, Gounardes and other Dems Strike Back Against SCOTUS” article, which is linked in our bio.
