Supreme Court of the United States

Jackson v. City and County of San Francisco

June 8, 2015

Summary

Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Scalia, dissented from the Supreme Court’s denial of a petition for a writ of certiorari, arguing that the Ninth Circuit’s upholding of San Francisco’s handgun‑storage ordinance improperly burdened the core Second Amendment right of self‑defense and that the Court should have granted review.
