New York has repealed the law
What exactly is the court going to rule on?
Let’s hope sanity prevails. The last thing we need is weaker gun laws. We already suffer regular mass and school shootings. Law enforcement is shot and killed regularly. Our homicide rate is 4-5x higher than countries with strong gun control.

Perhaps you missed the part where NYC has already repealed law? They did this when SCOTUS agreed to hear the case. Why? Because they figured the lose. Why? Because the law was unconstitutional...

And yet it was the decision of the Court to go ahead and hear the case, not the NRA's. Or are you suggesting the NRA controls the Supreme Court?

You stupid hateful anti Liberty Moon Bats are going to get screwed big time over this case.
The Court is going to rule on strict scrutiny (the real issue), which has always been lacking with the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. That will mean that a lot of the filthy ass gun laws that the commie states have adopted will be thrown out.
This case will be bigger than Heller. With Kennedy gone there won't have to be a watering down compromise on the RKABA like we had with the Heller case. The Conservatives on the Court wouldn't have taken the case if they were not ready to rule on strict scrutiny.
Supreme Court may expand Second Amendment rights despite repeal of disputed gun restrictions
Supreme Court may expand Second Amendment rights despite repeal of disputed gun restrictions
The court on Monday will hear a challenge to an obscure New York City rule that set such rigid restrictions on transporting legally owned guns that it was repealed in July.
But it turns out that wasn't what they really wanted. Backed by the National Rifle Association and the Trump administration, the challengers to New York's abandoned restrictions are hoping the high court refuses to declare the case moot. That would give them a chance to win the biggest Second Amendment victory since landmark rulings a decade ago affirmed the right to keep guns at home for self-defense.
Faced with a defunct ban on transporting guns outside city limits, the increasingly conservative court majority could render a decision making clear what some justices believe: that the Second Amendment extends beyond the home, and that lower courts should view state and local limits on carrying guns in public with skepticism.
You're a bit premature--The court has NOT yet agreed to hear the case..and it might not:
Second Amendment Case May Fizzle Out at the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court’s first Second Amendment case in nearly a decade may not end up changing anything, judging from questioning at arguments on Monday that focused largely on whether the repeal of a New York City law made the case challenging it moot.
“What’s left of this case?” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asked. “The petitioners have gotten all of the relief they sought.”
The other three members of the court’s liberal wing made similar points. “The other side has thrown in the towel,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor told a lawyer for the challengers.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., a member of the court’s conservative majority, asked questions that seemed aimed at making sure that the case was truly moot. But two other conservatives, Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch, seemed ready to decide the case, saying that the repeal of the law did not settle every question before the court.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett M. Kavanaugh asked no questions.
The law had limited city residents who had “premises licenses” from transporting their guns outside their homes. It allowed them to take their guns to one of seven shooting ranges within the city limits, but it barred them from taking their guns anywhere else, including second homes and shooting ranges outside the city, even when they were unloaded and locked in a container separate from any ammunition.
Three city residents and the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association sued to challenge the law but lost in Federal District Court in Manhattan and in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. A unanimous three-judge panel of the Second Circuit ruled that the ordinance passed constitutional muster.
After the Supreme Court granted review, the city repealed its law, apparently fearful of a loss that could sweep away other gun-control regulations, too. For good measure, New York State enacted a law allowing people with premises licenses to take their guns to their homes and businesses and to shooting ranges and competitions, whether in the city or not.
Paul D. Clement, a lawyer for the challengers in the case, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. City of New York, No. 18-280, said the restrictions imposed by the ordinance were at odds with the Second Amendment.
Richard P. Dearing, a lawyer for the city, responded that the ordinance was no longer on the books, meaning that there was nothing left for the court to decide.
