It seems like every time there is a big gun case headed for SCOTUS (Kolbe, Wrenn) or pro-gun legislation (SAGA, reciprocity, HPA) there always happens to be a mass shooting.
Ugh... regardless, how screwed are we now? MD will be salivating while writing their briefs for Kolbe screeching about...
Been a while. I know it is easy to be pessimistic here in NY, lord knows I have been but I have been in contact with several of the people who helped write this bill and who have been working to get it signed into law. They are all intelligent and passionate people and while I know its easy to...
This. Kolbe is the PERFECT case to take to SCOTUS and the decision is literally laughable. Unfortunately the SCOTUS doesn't give two craps about enurmated Constitutional rights, only abortion and gays.
The 2A HAS to apply outside the home. One way or another, either open or concealed.
I pray everyday that SCOTUS takes Kolbe but it looks likely that they will punt like with every other case. Honestly Kolbe is one of the most horrendous decisions I've even seen. It would be a cake walk to...
Are there any "aw" ban cases left besides MA and CA because we're going to lose them both. DJT is going to be a one term President. Congress could pass a federal preemption law tomorrow but they are useless. The prospect of losing our rights forever is just so nauseating.
Why wouldn't the...
Every time SCOTUS denies cert I lose more and more faith in the system. We even get screwed by "conservative" judges like Easterbrook in the 7th Circuit. Kolbe was just an abomination. I'm starting to think this country is a joke. Liberty and justice for all is a lie. I hope SCOTUS proves...
The courts being corrupt doesn't negate the fact that Heller clearly states that ANY BEARABLE ARM IN COMMON USE cannot be banned. Look at Caetano. That being said, yes our only hope is the Supreme Court. DJT is going to be a one term President and we're running out of time. I hate to say it...
Heller says a handgun (well, any commonly possessed arm really) is a fundamental right. Asking permission from the state to even touch a handgun clearly violates that right. Not holding my breath though, "aw" and magazine bans are clearly unconstitutional except here we are... 0-3. Thank you...
The 2nd Circus ruled. Your AR, your magazines and you ability to purchase ammo like a free American are GONE. Precedent is set. If you challenge, you will lose. What cases do we have left? We're f'ed if SCOTUS doesn't take Kolbe and odds are they won't.
So what do you suggest? Let them strip us of our rights? You realize that these rights, when taken, are NEVER returned. They are gone FOREVER.
And no, 10 rounds is not an industry standard. The standard is the magazine that the gun was designed to be used with. Also Heller stated more than...
Unfortuantely it looks like Kennedy will stick around just in time to kill Kolbe. After that I really don't know what's left. Is there ANY hope of us ever getting our rights back? I mean the longer this goes on I feel like the less of a chance we have.
Heller makes Sullivan unconstitutional but we'll never win that case. I want to see Kolbe go because it was quite possibly the most biased ruling ever but now I am doubtful.
What makes you so optimistic? I wish I could share in that optimism. I know if they court had 5 liberal judges on it they'd be ramming rulings down our throat. The SC has had every chance to overturn may issue, aw and magazine bans and they've done nothing. NOTHING. Its very likely they...

I don't even know where to start. One thing is for sure, Trump has to get better. He needs to stop tweeting and playing into their hands. Not that polls matter, but Trump is underwater. Pretty much every poll has him losing in 2020. My point is this:
2018 and 2020 could see the Democrats...
The OP was one of the saddest things I've read in a while. "Once your rights are gone, they're gone forever." It honestly feels like that and now that I have a son I feel even more hopeless knowing he will never really get to experience freedom in this state. It's such an empty feeling...
Where is he then? Where is Sessions? Why aren't they filing suit against NY for violating the Constitution? Due process?
What is Congress waiting for? Where is the Hearing Protection Act? Where is National Reciprocity? Why aren't they introducing a federal "aw" preemption law? Why aren't...
I completely understand people wanting to stay out of jail but modifying IS complying. Maybe it is different upstate but on LI everyone is loving their fixed mag AR's. It is as if the unsafe act didn't even happen.
I thought Heller protected firearms in common use too. Nothing will change until the Supreme Court makes courts apply strict scrutiny to the Second Amendment.
I was thinking more like mass non compliance but NYers are already accustomed to their FRS 15 and fixed mags. When they ban those next people will bitch and complain for a while and then comply like usual.
Honestly its only a matter of time. We desperately need to have unsafe overturned at SCOTUS in addition to CA's handgun roster, microstamping and ammunition regulations. Its not if, its when as far as those things happening here.
