Trump-Appointed Judge Issues Blow To NY Gun Restriction

A Trump-appointed judge issued a blow Thursday night to a New York State gun law that barred guns in places of worship.

The Democrat-led legislature in New York passed a series of laws in September aimed at restricting concealed carry after the Supreme Court overturned a statute requiring individuals to show “proper cause” in order to obtain a concealed carry permit. One such restriction barred firearms in places of worship and “sensitive” areas.

Two clerics and several gun rights organizations sued, asking for an injunction until the court could hear the merits of the case. Pastor Jimmie Hardaway of Trinity Baptist Church of Niagara Falls argued he used to conceal carry his firearm prior to the enactment of the worship ban for “self-defense” and would encourage parishioners to do the same. Hardaway contends he has been “stripped of the ability to keep the peace” and is “suffering diminished personal safety every time” he goes to church, according to the ruling.

Good for him.

I thought “there are no Trump or Obama judges”? So said John Roberts, and the media applauded him...and then always use the term, and always hide the ones appointed by Democrats.

[Bonemaker]

How about the 4,000 other “sensitive” areas those bastards imposed?

[1Old Pro]

Good, as it should be.

[Dilbert San Diego]

My thoughts as well. We were told there are no “Obama” judges or “Trump” judges, just judges committed to administering and upholding the law.

So it makes one wonder, why did the writers of this story feel the need to tell us this judge was appointed by Trump???

Good ruling-—government can’t tell RELIGIONS what they can and can’t do to protect themselves. It’s essentially government infringing on religion.

[Yo-Yo]

Strangely, the New York legislature made all private property "no-gun" zones unless the property owner explicitly posted the property as allowing concealed carry, but took away that ability from houses of worship. Under the law, it is illegal to conceal carry into a house of worship, even with permission from the religious leadership.

This ruling simply returns that control to the owners of the private property in question.

Not “gun rights restored” but “a blow to gun restrictions”

[caww]

We all know MY and California will be the first no gun zones - just a matter of time. And they always expect the nation to follow their lead - it shouldn’t. But they have so many protest groups in both states they organize to make it seem like it’s the entire nation....and the media plays right along.

[1Old Pro]

I guess the good news is all these court rulings recently all over the country have been pro gun every time, for now at least

I suppose, but really they are just upholding the constitution.

The left is always bitching about separation of church and state... Just saying.

Trump judge John Sinatra Jr. of the Western District of New York did it his way.

How many MSM article begin with “Obama-Appointed judge”?

[DoughtyOne]

On any day a gun restriction is over-ruled, it’s a good day.
