The City prefaces its merits argument by repeating its contention that this case is moot. It is not. As petitioners have explained, they manifestly have not obtained everything from the unilateral and begrudging changes in city and state law that they could have gotten were this case litigated to a favorable result, with declaratory relief that the transport ban is (and always was) unconstitutional and binding, forward-looking injunctive relief. The City notably does not claim otherwise, here or in its mootness papers. The case is thus not moot for Article III purposes. And to the extent the City's objection is merely prudential, there is no plausible basis to reward the City's transparent effort to frustrate this Court's discretionary review.
Mootness and standing are important now. If they go against us here then we ought to talk about Roe v Wade because Roe didn't have standing when the case was heard. She could not have had an abortion as she was no longer present.I wonder how much is going to be devoted to mootness -- NY State Rifle & Pistol's reply brief barely addresses that issue -- one footnote about a paragraph long (though it has addressed it in prior briefing at lenght). Mootness is a major theme for NY City and its friends.

The footnote:
AmenPlease Lord, I know I haven't been the best Christian. I may even be in the dregs of my class. But please, guide these justices to do the right thing! Our government is trying to deny us the inalienable rights which you granted!
