Just FYI, while this is good news, in NYS, “Supreme Court” is not the high court of the state. It is the level where things like civil suits, divorces and criminal trials are handled. The Court of Appeals is the high court and there are two levels between that court and Supreme Court.
I’m actually afraid for the results of this. Eminent domain has been upheld in recent legal jurisprudence, and I’m concerned that they’ll contort it to mean that since those weapons are considered illegal under the law, they can be confiscated not as personal property but as contraband. They did it in New Orleans.
The Governor actually doesn’t have to “prove” that the law is constitutional; the burden of proof is on the challengers. The term “order to show cause” is just a procedural mechanism under New York law to bring a case on for a speedy hearing, shortening the usual deadlines.
While the law is reprehensible it does not call for confiscation of semi auto rifles and high capacity mags. It calls for registration of these weapons and mags. I don’t see how this translates into confiscation. The law should be challenged on the basis of “not be infringed” not some non existent confiscation meme.
The obvious answer is “of course he’ll say it is.”
Long answer will be written in obtuse legalese that means “If it wasn’t constitutional we couldn’t have passed it.”
But the law itself reads that possessing a firearm is illegal.
Sooooo, this will be an interesting exercise in recto cranial contorionism the likes of which has not been seen outside a circus tent.
If you watch the video the pics of the gun rally/protest is the one we put together in Buffalo Jan 19th. Over 3200 people came out on a cold winters day.
The anchorman is Scott Levin a friend of mine.
One of the judges Debra Chimes is a friend too.
Right now we have 33 counties on board passing a bill for Albany to repeal the Bill with 17 more in the works.
I will post the image in a minute.
Rotsa Ruck, Cuomo, you fascist t*rd.
Your “regulations” are history.
Second amendment says keep.

“NY State Supreme Court: Gov. Cuomo Must Prove New Gun Laws are Constitutional”
Yeh, right. Let’s see the neo-Nazi pig Cuomo declare that it’s constitutional to send armed government goons to your house and kill you if you don’t surrender your constitutional right to bear arms.
The time of law has passed.
