Of course it’s unconstutional....that’s a no brainer. ALL gun control laws
are unconstitutional. Problem is that if the law is overturned that ruling will
be appealed by the state of NY till they get a ruling in their favor. If necessary they will go to the SCOTUS and while Heller vs DC does state that 2A is an individual right it also states it can be “regulated” That statement essentially grants the government carte blanche to impose gun control.
As long as they allow citizens to own some type of weapon even if the acquisition of that weapon is extremely difficult then all is OK in the la la land of jurisprudence. The federal court system was one of the very first
institutions infiltrated and seized by the marxists. Freedom and rights will
find few friends sitting on the bench these days.

“and while Heller vs DC does state that 2A is an individual right it also states it can be “regulated”

Heller stated that only firearms that are “unusual and dangerous” can be banned and that handguns don’t meet that standard. That would suggest that “dangerous” means the weapon in itself is so indiscriminate in nature that its mere existence and use would threatens the lives and rights of others. It’s doubtful that any firearm meets that standard unless one was invented that randomly fires on its own without human intervention and sprays bullets all over town with no means of controlling it. Or, if someone possessed a biological weapon for example that might leak and wipe out the whole town. So the NY gun grabbers shouldn’t count on Heller to back up their over-reaching legislation.
