WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Supreme Court<\/a> said on Friday that it will take up its latest gun rights case and consider striking down a strict regulation on where people can carry firearms in Hawaii. <\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s Republican administration had urged the justices to take the case, arguing the law violates the court\u2019s landmark 2022 ruling<\/a> that expanded gun rights by finding the Second Amendment generally gives people the right to carry firearms. <\/p>\n

The court will consider Hawaii\u2019s law that bans guns on private property like stores and hotels unless the owner has specifically allowing them, verbally or with a sign. <\/p>\n

The case isn\u2019t aimed at its restrictions on guns in other places, like beaches, parks and restaurants that serve alcohol. <\/p>\n

State attorneys argue that they\u2019ve already loosened its concealed-carry permit regulations to align with the high court\u2019s 2022 ruling. They say its new law strikes a reasonable balance between gun rights and public safety.<\/p>\n

A judge blocked the Hawaii law after it was challenged in court by a gun rights group and three people from Maui. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals largely reversed that decision and allowed Hawaii to enforce the law.<\/p>\n

The gun-safety group Everytown urged the court to uphold the measure. \u201cThe Ninth Circuit was absolutely right to say it\u2019s constitutional to prohibit guns on private property unless the owner says they want guns there,\u201d said Janet Carter, managing director of Second Amendment litigation. <\/p>\n

Four other states have laws banning guns in areas often referred to as sensitive locations, though similar presumptive restrictions for guns on private property have been blocked elsewhere<\/a>, including in New York. <\/p>\n

The Supreme Court had previously declined a push from gun-rights groups to fully strike down the New York law. <\/p>\n

The conservative-majority court\u2019s 2022 ruling also found modern gun regulations must fit within historical traditions, a major shift in the country\u2019s gun law landscape. <\/p>\n

Since then, the justices have struck down<\/a> a ban on bump stocks from Trump\u2019s first term but upheld another on ghost guns imposed under then-President Joe Biden. The court has also upheld a law<\/a> intended to protect domestic violence victims. <\/p>\n
