How very Red China of them. Question the 2020 Election Theft on Facebook ? Red flagged. Post on FR ? Permanently red flagged.
Want to weed out republicans.
An 8th grade civics student could easily see this is contrary to the plain language of the 1st and 4th Amendments yet NY has a legislature full of lawyers willing to consider such a proposal...LMAO & SMDH...
THis is wrong on so many levels...
Nor just Republicans...
Donald Dems, too.
Anyone who’s MAGA.

Anything short of Constitutional Carry will be used by the damnable Marxists to disarm us.
Damn! Oh wait. None found!
How ‘gun control’ working out in Mexico?
Has every last gun of the cartels been seized?
They want to regulate a constitutional protected right based on your exercise of free speech and who you associate with.
I think the constitution has something to say about this. This goes to show just what a razors edge ALL of our rights exist on. If the next President isn’t a conservative who appoints originalist judges, we are truly screwed.
More than that...
‘safe and secure clause too’
The government of New York will take that to mean you are an anti-social loner. In their eyes you might as well check off "yes, I do intend to shoot a school". No gun for you!
Won’t fly
So they want to violate the 1st amendment as well. A twofer.

What this? A new two-step process for getting a license that NY is implementing? A “Stupid is as stupid does” law suite about to be SLAPed on the state.
