A New York City law banning the possession of stun guns and Tasers has been upheld by a federal appeals court, dealing a significant blow to advocates of Second Amendment rights. The ruling, which was announced in a recent decision, affirms a lower court's ruling that the city's prohibition on these non-lethal self-defense tools does not infringe on the constitutional right to bear arms. The law, which has been in place since 1996, has been a point of contention for gun rights groups who argue that it unfairly restricts citizens' ability to protect themselves. The appeals court's decision is likely to be closely watched by gun rights activists and city officials, who will now face renewed scrutiny over the law's constitutionality.
