nysrpa new york state rifle and pistol association second amendment 2nd amendment

Can a state arbitrarily decide whether or not you get to exercise a right protected by the Constitution of the United States? That is the question in the case New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA) v. Bruen, Superintendent of the New York State Police. New York State is a "may issue" state, meaning that you did not get your carry license even if you met all of the legal requirements, you had to show you had a "good cause" to carry a firearm in public. But self-defense was not considered "good cause" by the New York courts. You had to show you had a special need for self-defense, greater than the general public. Does that sound like infringement on your right to keep and bear arms to you?
