What if an applicant isn’t on social media? Would he might be considered a social outcast and thus denied a permit? Or let’s say one is on some relatively minor social media site or member of a political or firearms forum under an anonymous username and decides not to mention that fact? Would the jackboots be able to discover it on their own?
What the tyrannical fascist in NY means is:
“If you use your 1st Amendment Rights, we may well deny you your 2nd Amendment rights.”
I think the best way to test this....have a friend who is Romanian or Greek....sign you up to some native language social media, and just copy and paste food recipe info into 300 entries. Then see what the idiot state guy does.
So, what if a NYS resident doesn’t have any “social media” accounts? Is there a specific legal description of such things?
Email? Messenger? Personal communications likely wouldn’t meet any wild-azzed definition of “ social media”?
As a native NYer, but long time expat, I pity my generation in NY. I came to mo long ago, and fought for our very liberal( in a good sense of the term) weapons and self- defense laws.
Just say no. But don’t move to Missouri, stay there and fight ( legally, rationally and wisely).
Does this mean Twitter, Facebook, FR, DU, et. al. can’t kick you off their site because then the authorities wouldn’t have access to what you wrote that got you kicked off the site?
Not to mention the 4th amendment, Right to Privacy. Social media isn’t exactly private since it’s out there for every one to see, but it’s still your personal account.
These political clowns who make these laws, and sign them into law, should be Turing over their own social media accounts, all bank/investment accounts, and all private correspondence, before being allowed to run for public office.
Are people seeking to vote required to do the same? If not, this is unconstitutional law.
But don't expect that to deter Queen Kathy and her Commissars. That train left the station long ago.
Doesn’t sound like free speech to me.
If it comes at a cost, it’s not free.
