New York State Rifle and Pistol: Virginia reverses its position in the Supreme Court

Letter to the Court here. It'd signed on to an anti-2A amicus. Now it writes the Court to say that its position has changed 180 degrees.

"Following the change in Administration on January 15, 2022, the Attorney General has reconsidered Virginia's position in this case. The purpose of this letter is to notify the Court that Virginia no longer adheres to the arguments contained in its previously filed brief. Virginia is now of the view that New York's handgun permit regime is irreconcilable with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which secures an individual right to bear arms outside the home for self-defense.

Virginia now urges this Court to reverse the Second Circuit. First, New York's requirement that its citizens show "proper cause" to carry a handgun in public is incompatible with the original public meaning of the Second Amendment."
