New York Democrats Undermine Supreme Court 2nd Amendment Ruling In New Legislation

Among other things, lawful concealed carry of guns would be banned almost everywhere by designating much of society a “sensitive” location. State governors like Kathy Hochul in New York are banking on the limited SCOTUS docket to evade the ruling, even if they ultimately lose.

When the Supreme Court Struck Down The Restrictive New York Gun Licensing Law, it was an important reiteration of 2nd Amendment protections. But the battles will continue at the state level and the lower federal courts, because the opponents of the 2nd Amendment are hard at work, including in Rhode Island, to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights. DOJ already has signaled that it will do whatever it can to limit the impact of the SCOTUS ruling.

One aspect of the SCOTUS ruling that is underreported is that in orders entered by the Court in other cases, it vacated anti-2nd Amendment lower court decisions and remanded for further proceedings. Some of those cases involved the types of limitations, e.g. on magazine capacity and age, that are at the core of efforts to undermine the SCOTUS decision in blue states.

The Gun Rights Foundation has a good summary:

The Supreme Court just struck down four anti-gun lower court rulings:

• A 4^th Circuit ruling upholding Maryland’s “assault weapons” ban
• Two rulings (9^th Circuit and 3^rd Circuit) upholding mag bans in California and New Jersey
• A 9^th Circuit ruling upholding Hawaii’s de facto public carry ban (similar to New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. HI is another may issue state that essentially banned carry)

Typical. Just like you can never throw out their STRAIT FROM GOD EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

“Mag bans” are limits to the size of legally permissible magazines, right?

Those who infringe Amendment II should be stricken from the public payroll and pension systems as required by Amendment XIV, Section 3.

Ms. Hochul said that the expansive list of places where guns would be banned was crafted to reassure New Yorkers “that when they go there to gather, work, places of worship, polling places and larger gathering spaces, they don’t need to worry about a criminal being right there next to them having a weapon.”

It’s worse than people realize. You could get in your car, drive down the road and unless a private property location has signage that guns are permitted, be unable to access the premises without committing a felony. It’s quite possible you won’t be able to go to almost *any* private location. I mean, are homeowners going to put these signs up?

The same for walking down a public sidewalk. Nowhere to go.

I doubt many businesses are going to put up signage that guns are allowed for fear of being criticized by people that support gun control, potential liability issues with insurance, etc.

It is in all ways, a de facto ban on concealed carry. I talked to an attorney friend and he does not see how this will stand, given Bruen. And disclosing social media accounts he believes is a non-starter.

What a mess.

Correct, my state of WA's mag ban, (any magazine holding more than 10 rounds) went into effect today, July 1st.

You can possess them but can no longer buy them or sell them.

Yeah, it's a BS law that does absolutely nothing to affect criminal activity, just we lawful gun owners. And Idaho and Oregon are a short drive where you can buy them.

Criminals obey laws?

The bright side is how easy it will eventually be to conquer the Blue States. /$

[rexthecat]

Forget the permit. Just carry anyway.

If you buy them in Oregon or Idaho and bring them back in you are now an “importer”, which is illegal.

There’s a reason why these bills run to multiple pages.

[smokingfrog]

Exactly … I altered her statement slightly.

[Jonny7797]

At this point, one should move out of NY if 2A is important to them. These communist will not comply.

[Howie66]

Said this before and I will say it again. The Constitution was never meant to be a SUICIDE PACT.

It’s time for the REPUBLLIC OF TEXAS to make our move.

That's true, but unless there are state line 'checkpoints', you can get what you need and flip-off the unconstitutional BS as you drive home.

[MercyFlush]

The only answer is Constitutional Carry.

One of the posters there figured the strategy was to tie up the inevitable suit in response to the new infringement up the layers so it’d be years to hit the SC.

I don’t think so. I think, by remanding a bunch of cases at once, the Thomas court made it clear they’ll ‘reach down’ and quash that ploy.

Pay cash. Decline the receipt.
Trash the packaging (if any) before ya leave town.

CA has this asinine "Prop 65" "warning" that manufacturers have to plaster all over everything they ship into CA for sale. I bought ABS inner wheel wells for my son's car, and they wouldn't ship them because they didn't have the damned labels. Never mind I can go down to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a truckload of ABS pipe any day of the year.

So, I had them shipped to a friend in OR, instead, and paid them to "bounce" them to me in CA. That's gonna become a thing.
