What was said
"The court throws out in this case called Breuin uses this uh this faka interpretation of the second amendment to throw out this New York law of 100 years standing and never once mentions suicide."
Malcolm Gladwell argues the US Supreme Court’s Bruen decision striking down New York’s handgun licensing framework did not engage with suicide prevention. He says New York historically had a much lower suicide rate than the national average and calls the court’s Second Amendment reasoning a selective reading of history.
