Federal Judge: NRA Suit Against New York Can Proceed on First Amendment Grounds

[Grimscale]

so much for Washington .. it got passed on the public ballot

WTF is this, Camelot?
Might does not make right. Pure numbers does not give anyone the right to infringe on another person's Rights.

They can pass what they want, it is still unConstitutional.

Good find and memory but the article is not discussing NRA membership in New York, it is discussing membership in the NRA Affiliate Chapter which is the New York State Rifle And Pistol Association.

The article compares post SAFE Act membership of NYSRPA to the Texas NRA Affiliate Chapter - Texas State Rifle Association.

The author, Katie McHugh, did a bad job with her click bait headline which is deceiving, but the information on the numbers was the same as the boasts from Peter King who was President of NYSRPA.

Actual NY NRA membership was much much larger than NYSRPA membership and Texas NRA membership was more than triple New York's NRA membership.

I caught that too, yesterday on my phone. I was going to post the same comment this morning!

It’s a perfect example of why we are NOT a democracy. If they voted to reinstate slavery would that be justification for infringing on rights?

When you have limited resources you have to pick your fights. New York has been totally hopeless for a while. The 2nd Circuit is anti-gun and the Supreme Court has been AWOL. Its like when the French asked Churchill for more British fighter squadrons in 1940. Churchill refused. It was a lost cause. Could not afford to throw away more squadrons. Some for NY. Until the Supreme Court begins to do it's duty, NY is lost.

Now that the make up of the Supreme Court has marginally improved, there may be some hope.

I have a question. Where are all these crazy killers coming from. When I was growing up, you could buy guns and ammo at a hardware store. Pistols too. Anyone with the money could buy without back ground checks, even without ID. Never heard of any "mass shootings". Have the morals of our country fallen so far? It is how kids are raised? It it because the ACLU has emptied out the nut houses? Is our society this F____ed up?

There were plenty of WWII vets around. Many had "shell shock" or "combat fatigue". Called PTSD nowadays. They didn't go around killing people in mass just for the hell of it.

This last killer in Thousand Oaks actually admitted he was anti-gun, and was hoping that killing a bunch of Country Music Christians would change their mind about the 2A.
