The U.S. Supreme Court declined to toss a case over a restrictive gun regulation in New York City on Monday.

In an order handed down Monday, the Supreme Court disagreed that the case immediately became moot after the city relaxed that regulation and the New York State Legislature approved a law addressing it.

While the U.S. Supreme Court refused to set the case aside, the justices according to the order are prepared to address whether the matter has been rendered moot by actions to withdraw the measures by the city government and state lawmakers.

“The respondents’ suggestion of mootness is denied,” the order read. “The question of mootness will be subject to further consideration at oral argument, and the parties should be prepared to discuss it.”

New York City picked a fight they didn't want to fight and are trapped in a corner.

New York City picked a fight they didn't want to fight and are trapped in a corner.

Reminds me of a phrase I see a lot from Dark Angel Medical. "The time chooses you". I hope this will be New York's time to get spanked.
