In a recent legal development, a federal judge temporarily halted New York’s enforcement of a law banning firearms in places of worship. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated New York’s previous gun law, deeming it unconstitutional. The judge highlighted that the new restrictions are even tougher and likely to face further legal challenges. New York is now reviewing its options to uphold their stringent gun regulations.
