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.

Smells like Insurrection to me.
But the next day every state had to accept gay marriage.
And that’ll be overturned also
If they can ignore the law then the citizens can too.
I buckled up two years ago.
In the leftists’ minds it cannot be an insurrection when they do it.
The new law also:
“Requires Backgrounds Checks for All Ammunition Purchases”
Does any state have background checks for ammo ?
The question is, will a District Court or the Second Circuit do it? This should not even get to the Supreme Court. The Court was clear on its guidance and this law flaunts it. A lower court judge being faithful to their oath should dispose of this in short order.
ROPE
The new law also violates the 2nd.
New York needs a new governor, a Republican named Lee Zeldin
CA does.
...this new (horrible...) law also requires an applicant to reveal his/her social media accounts, too, no....?? what if one does not have any social media accounts, such as I do NOT...? what then...? thank goodness I left New York State over 50 years ago....
We’re headed toward some serious anarchy.
So NY no longer has a functioning state government and/or has seceded from the USA. Good to know.
You, like many others, are trying to "own the libs" by pointing out what you claim is a double standard.
But it's not.
There is a single standard, which they adhere to faithfully, and this is it: What is good for the revolution and hurts America is good. What is bad for the revolution, and helps America, is bad.
In many people's imagination, things can be put right by adhering to the Constitution and by deploying clever or well-developed arguments.
You may not have noticed, but the Left has stopped arguing with you. They have set their course, their end point is your and your people's destruction, by any means necessary.
The soft libertarianism that came out of the 1970s, that culminated in Reagan's "government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem" is now destroying the nation because it renders the state powerless to crush the bolshevik revolution washing over us.
Nullifies?
That is only arrogance of the State of NY.
They have NO Constitutional authority to pass the law they passed.
Of course. States make there own laws.
