First amendment?

Having the government review your speech to make sure it meets their standards before granting a license would be the first amendment issue.

It required applicants to turn over social media accounts for review when applying.

The "Good Moral Character" clause is also highly suspect as well because you damn well know that'll be used to deny people of religions that the decision maker doesn't like, and for people who are of minority groups and likely those people who criticize the Government or police as well.

No, first amendment was right, freedom of speech - this law required police to review people's social media prior to issuing an application, meaning that there's a significant chilling effect on speech if you know that cops are going to be combing through your posts trying to find a reason to deny your second amendment right (also note that the reason to deny was at their discretion, there was no objective standard for "problematic" posts).

Effectively that's true, but it's also pathetic of a nation that claims to be the best.
