Did NYS finally remove the 7-round magazine rule

[Robin]

And when you file the 1983 suit against the PO/Dept, the officer pays out of their own pocket because it violates a clearly established right.

The law is on the books and clearly stated.

The law is technically still on the books. NYS Penal Law 265.37 - Unlawful possession of certain ammunition feeding devices. That part of the law was struck down in federal court as an 'arbitrary restriction" that violated the Second Amendment. There has been some debate as to the applicability of the ruling. There is an opinion among several District Attorneys that the federal court opinion isn't binding until it is upheld by the Supreme Court. Most District Attorneys, however, are choosing not to prosecute.

That’s not what is being said. And if so, they are so wrong . The argument among DAs as to if was binding was before the second circuit appeals court ruling and they were arguing if it was binding before such a ruling .
It is absolutely binding until SCOTUS says otherwise. There is no stay order on the ruling pending the appeal to SCOTUS because there is no appeal to SCOTUS. It’s a dead issue in the 2nd circuit.
The ruling is so binding that the anti-gunners have not tried to reintroduce a round limit less than 10 again. Why? The court ruling actually protects the 10 round capacity. It even protected a pump rifle CT listed as an assault rifle.

Any cop or DA who arrests someone solely on that charge is open to a civil rights lawsuit on its face. Other unconstitutional laws such as anti-interracial marriage were still on the books for years too. It doesn’t mean they can be enforced.
Ask NYC about part of their loitering law. Any time they arrest someone on that charge, not only are the charges dropped but it’s an immediate 10,000 dollar fine against the city. It doesn’t include any civil rights lawsuits etc.
