NYS Sheriff’s Association: STATEMENT CONCERNING NEW YORK’S NEW FIREARMS LICENSING LAWS
Copyright © NY Sheriffs Association All rights reserved. ^ | July 6, 2022 | NY Sheriffs Association

Posted on 07/06/2022 6:10:52 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Once again the NYS Legislature has seen fit to pass sweeping new criminal justice laws that affect the rights of millions of NY citizens, and which impose burdensome new duties on local government officials, without any consultation with the people who will be responsible for carrying out the provisions of those new laws. This has become a habit with the Legislature and has resulted in other criminal justice disasters such as NY’s so-called Bail Reform Law….

The new firearms law language first saw the light of day on a Friday morning and was signed into law Friday afternoon. A parliamentary ruse was used to circumvent the requirement in our Constitution that…the public…must have three days to study and discuss proposed legislation before it can be taken up for a vote. The Legislature’s leadership claimed, and the Governor agreed, that it was a “necessity” to pass the Bill immediately, without waiting the Constitutionally required three days, even though the law would not take effect for two full months. Consequently, law enforcement agencies and the courts, which bear most of the responsibility for implementing the new licensing laws, were deprived of any opportunity to point out to Legislators the burdensome, costly, and unworkable nature of many of the new laws’ provisions. And, of course, our citizens, whose rights are once again being circumscribed, probably again in unconstitutional ways, had no opportunity to communicate their concerns to their legislative representatives…. We do not support punitive licensing requirements that aim only to restrain and punish law-abiding citizens who wish to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

If the Sheriffs association had any scruples, they would announce that ANY Public Employee that can be demonstrated to have EVER made a Deliberate False Statement to the PUBLIC, Shall be considered a Danger to themselves and the Community and be DENIED from EVER owning a Firearm.

“Blah, blah, blah ... but we’ll enforce the new laws as written.”

No doubt they fear the Canadian Truckers treatment.

It’s all up to the courts, to keep slapping NY.

It’s so important we must ignore the constitution.

These DemonKKKrat legislatures in New York are using knee-jerk reactions to enact gun policy directly opposing the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling. They are saying, the rule of law does not apply if we don’t want to follow it. It is like the criminal that says,”I don’t like being poor, so I’ll rob a bank.”

What was that oath they recited upon being sworn in as a state legislature?

Impeach all of those DemonKKKrats!

A mere 10 years ago, Gov. Kathy Hochul ran for Erie County Clerk, touting a “Grade A” rating she rec’d from the NRA.

Virtue signaling is VERY common on our side of the table.

Look around FR for evidence.
