The article called “Supreme Court appears skeptical of New York law limiting handguns in public”, written by Pete Williams and published by NBC news, tackles the gun law policies decided by the supreme court.

The article displays the argumentation that surrounds the matter. It quotes multiple different arguments pro and contra to the new law that New York is trying to impose. This law makes gun-permits necessary for people to carry guns in the public. Some arguments against it contain reference to the second amendment and the bill of rights. Some arguments also suggest that the law will disadvantage certain groups of people.

The article reports clearly on both sides of the argument and keeps it very objective. The final sentence of the article “The court will issue its decision by late June” also makes the reader stay tuned. It summarizes that there has not been an agreement yet. This gives the reader a chance to build their own opinion on the matter, which way they want this decision to roll, after providing plausible arguments on behalf of both sides.

The article is news worthy as it affects many Americans. It mentions how all states allow guns in public however, 34 states require a permit. The new law of New York should make a more specific differentiation to the gun laws and might be precedent to other states if it gets ruled in favor of the law. As the supreme court decision give a super-precedent, any other court beneath it can use it in their decision process.
