After months of litigation against New York's latest gun control law, several liberal groups are standing in opposition to its measure requiring concealed carry permit applicants to register their social media accounts, saying it's 'overbroad' and unconstitutional.
, agreeing with its challengers in part that a requirement to register social media handles with the government violates the First Amendment right to speak anonymously online. The law went into effect last September with the backing of Gov. Kathy Hochul in response to the Supreme Court ruling that any gun restriction"demands a test rooted in the Second Amendment’s text, as informed by history.
The brief was also joined by five groups — the DC Project Foundation, the Liberal Gun Group, the National African American Gun Association, the Asian Pacific American Gun Owners Association, and an LGBT group called Operation Blazing Sword–Pink Pistols — all which voiced opposition to the social media registration requirement for permits.
