The U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that the Second Amendment guarantees law-abiding citizens the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, both in their homes and in public. On Friday, New York responded that it didn’t care.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul ushered in the long Independence Day weekend on Friday by signing into law legislation crafted in response to the Supreme Court’s recent decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. Just more than a week earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court in Bruen had declared that New York’s prior “may issue” gun licensing scheme, which prohibited individuals from carrying concealed handguns unless they “demonstrate[d] a special need for self-protection distinguishable from that of the general community,” violated the Second Amendment. In reaching that conclusion, the high court stressed that the right to “bear arms,” by necessity, applies outside the home.
The New York legislature responded by calling an extraordinary session and then passing the bill Hochul signed into law on Friday. That hastily passed statute established detailed regulations governing a citizen’s right to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon and added restrictive limits to where such concealed weapons could be carried. Both aspects of the New York legislation run headlong into the Supreme Court’s analysis in Bruen—and potentially First Amendment jurisprudence.

Then let the arrests begin.
People who don’t uphold their oath to abide by the U. S.
Constitution and then deny people their rights, are committing
a crime.
The social media check is what’s going to get them thrown out again. Texas used to have a mandatory 8 hour class and 2 hour live fire test that was scored out of 50 rounds fired into a man sized target you needed a 250 to pass with a ten,nine,and eight point zones. Every missed shot was 20 points negative perfect was a 500. Scary when you think about it you could literally miss 12 shots as long as the others where in the ten ring. Distances were from nearly touching the target to 20 feet. Texas also charged $150 bucks for the application good for 5 years. The processing time was 6 months. Texas went constitutional carry Sept of 2021 but the licence is still good for 4473s and out of state reciprocity plus anywhere with a 30.05 declaration you have to have the licence or risk a year in jail plus a restraining order for trespass good for up to ten years at that location. Texas still prohibits you from carrying in nearly every place NYC just listed. The exemptions were churches were allowed after a couple.of shooting here and colleges who fought it tooth and nail and still are allowed to exempt certain buildings if public universities. Private universities can ban carry on the WHO campus and nearly every one does it’s a State jail felony to carry on K- 12 schools, courts, polling places,and Federal soil or buildings like the Fed courts or post offices.
Yes, past and current social media accounts
Thats how I see it.
Would be sweet if the courts immediately threw out this law.
simple....get a nice fat class action lawsuit going....violation of civil rights....
Yeah, that’s bcz the LGBT mafia runs many facets of our society, gov and media included.
And, this was/is being done by an UN-elected “Gov”.
Isn’t there a scotus decision that says that laws contrary to the constitution are nullities?
I think this opens up personal liability for deprivation of rights under color of law. - this has penalties-
No state can nullify a SCt decision.
all the politicians can do is screw around a bit
Unfortunately for Governor Harridan, Justice Thomas has made it clear that there will be no years of winding this sort of unconstitutional legislation through the court system. The USSC is going to bypass all that and reach down into the lower courts and take action.
The U.S. Supreme Court, although faithful to the lack of federal authority to regulate gun ownership, had no jurisdiction in the Bruen case because the case was about NY state law which the fed Court has no constitutional jurisdiction, the debunked and counterfeit “incorporation doctrine” notwithstanding.
File a lawsuit requesting Amendment XIV Section 3 court order removal of Governor Hochul and her legislative accomplices.
Well, for now, anyway. I suspect that was anticipated and will be dealt with in due course.
Anyone who ever paid taxes or was ten years old has wondered what if everyone did something at once.. what could they do?
Always a profound truth. The left availed themselves of that dynamic.
Bingo, 100% and spot on.
True; to put it more simply, nothing is settled until it is settled the way the Left wants it settled. The problem is that the only alternative is not a Washington but a Marcus Crassus, or a Pinochet, which forestalls the revolution at the expense of the republic.
Victims of the the gov infringing on their rights in the constitution should be reimbursed by the offending jurisdiction for all legal fees.
That’s how it works for civil rights violations and is the bread and butter of the aclu.
Yes. Indeed. So they simply ignore the rule of law as they decide to. In a sane world we would have them in jail.
“ Victims of the the gov infringing on their rights in the constitution should be reimbursed by the offending jurisdiction for all legal fees.”
So you favor the “Communist Revolution Funding Act of 2022”, huh?
