Three days in June changed the landscape of federal firearms law. In New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, the Supreme Court invalidated, on Second Amendment grounds, a New York statute requiring that an applicant for a handgun concealed-carry permit demonstrate “proper cause.” Bruen is a watershed opinion with Second Amendment implications well beyond New York’s concealed-carry scheme. Just a few days later, Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, changing the statutory penalties for federal gun possession and adding a slew of new federal gun offenses to the books. These changes will have drastic impacts on federal criminal defense practice. This program is designed to guide defense practitioners through these uncharted waters from both a trial and appellate perspective.
