Of course they are. Who in their right mind would send this as their representative in Congress?

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it will examine New York City’s ban on carrying a licensed and unloaded handgun outside the city limits, the first Second Amendment challenge it has accepted in nearly a decade.
The decision to hear the case in the term that begins in October may signal that the reinforced conservative majority on the court is ready to consider more laws that restrict gun rights.
New York’s law is not replicated elsewhere: It permits transporting handguns only to firing ranges within the city. Those who challenged the law have a licenses to keep a handgun at their homes. Petitioners included those who want to take their guns to firing ranges or competitions outside the city, and one who wanted to take the gun to his second home upstate.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled for the city. It said petitioners had not shown there was inadequate access to one of the seven firing ranges in the city, that petitioners could not rent a firearm if they wanted to go to a range elsewhere, or that the upstate homeowner could not get a permit to keep a second handgun there.
The National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups supported the lawsuit, and said it was time for the court to clarify what the right to keep a firearm for personal protection means.
“The City does not even attempt to argue that what petitioners seek — the modest ability to transport their licensed firearms, unloaded and locked away separate from ammunition, to a shooting range or second home outside city limits — poses any threat to public safety,” the challengers’ brief said.

RBG can’t resign, it’s too late, she’s dead.
Of course they are. Who in their right mind would send this as their representative in Congress?
Crazed and Glazed.
She's not dead yet. She's just resting.
The left hates guns but loves killing babies. What’s the difference between killing a baby with a gun or “medical instrument?” Gun control and baby control are the foundation of the left’s hold onto power.
Yeah. That’s the rumor that I’ve heard.

"The case is New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York".
Setting the entire issue aside for a moment....
How can the City legislate against ANYTHING going on outside the City?
I hope that they finally get around to defining the term “Shall Not Be Infringed”.

Bizarre
With Roberts in there then the results of this may not be good.
I hate living here.
