New York Ban on Nonlethal Weapons ‘Undermines’ Supreme Court, Expert Warns
A federal appeals court has upheld a New York City ban on nonlethal electronic weapons, which some experts argue undermines a key Supreme Court ruling on the Second Amendment. Legal scholars claim that the court's decision conflicts with the standards set by the Supreme Court in the Bruen case. The plaintiffs, who challenged the ban, argue that stun guns and Tasers should be considered protected arms under the Second Amendment.

- ▪The plaintiffs cited increased civilian purchases of stun guns to support their case, but the court found this insufficient.
