Court Rules Against Gun Store As "Essential" During Pandemic.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

DSI, lol. What, you mean they couldn't get Troop L to file an amicus brief for them? Or at least a letter stating they are the only gun store the state police recognizes as essential?

But U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence Kahn wrote in his ruling New Yorkers could still purchase firearms from other retailers and "the evidence in the record indicates that, even during the height of the lockdown, New Yorkers continued to enjoy access to numerous retailers where they could purchase firearms."

Dementia? What retailers were open to purchase firearms? And what evidence in the record?

 

[Defilade]

“We’ve lost track of the frivolous lawsuits filed against us during this pandemic," said Cuomo senior advisor Rich Azzopardi.

What does that tell you ASSHOLE?

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Liquor stores and lottery are essential though. Keep that in mind.

 

[byron]

Clinton appointed is all you need to know. seen a few other cases in other states and the gun shops won. and if others were open wouldn't that be discrimination.

Why don’t you guys like DSI? What’s so bad about them that I do not know?

It goes way back to shortly after SAFE passed, they tried to pull some shady shit regarding legality of rifles. Theres a LONG thread on the "old forum", I'll see if I can find it.

Here's what's left. But the original was not just closed, but actually deleted from the site. It was pretty nasty. Dark Stain made a lot of enemies amongst this crowd.

They're shitweasels. They were willing to make shit up in an effort to jam up other retailors and steer business toward their own over priced crap.

Places like Sportsmans Warehouse in Rochester were always open. I know of another local LGS that never closed as well.

So how were some able keep their doors open and others weren't?

 

[Cooolone]

Because some are sheep... And some are smart! That's how!

Edit to add:. Fuck DSI, yeah, that's right! I don't even remember the whole thing but that they suck ass! Lol

 

[dwa12479]

No idea. Sportsmans Warehouse sells lots of other items, so maybe that kept them open?

The other LGS, not sure. Maybe they just gave FUAC the bird and didnt get caught.

There were a bunch of exemptions in the EOs that determined who was essential and who wasn't. One of these exemptions was that if you supplied police or security agencies, you were essential. Some shops reasoned that if they were essential for the cops, they were essential for everyone else and stayed open. Others, since there was no clear guidance and they didn't want to risk their business licenses, played it conservative and stayed closed either to everyone or just to non-cops.

What a shitshow.

 

[DrBleachCocktail]

Doesn’t matter now, NY has already opened up and Cuomo can care less. The damage is already done. Watch when the economy closes again Gun stores will still be closed.

 

[ProgSpear]

Did they rule that car trunks in the hood are nonessential also?

 

[Robin]

Robin rules New York is so corrupt that anything short of a reboot of 1776 will fall far short of any rectification.

[SmallGameAddict]

And...on with the appeal.

 

[kev74]

What a shitshow.

I can't imagine having to make the call on opening a business I may have been building up for 10 or 20 or 30 or more years, knowing if I make the wrong decision the state might put me out of business, and if I stay closed the bank might take it.

 

[Acer-m14]

hardware stores are open .. FUAC and DSI ..

Easier to get a new business license than new cash.

Demented, senile and should have been in one of Cuomo's nursing homes. His ruling, yellow rotten teeth, ear hair, puffy sleepless eyes and uni-brow certainly confirm the 83 year old judge can not care for himself.
