New York AG Claims No Right to Own Taser or Stun Gun Even in Own Home

[ProgSpear]

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “New York Attorney General files response in Taser case, and no, it's not a joke,” attorney Stephen Stamboulieh notes in response to the state’s position in the matter of Avitabile v. Cuomo. “I guess before I argue these motions on March 24, 2017, I have to figure out if the Supreme Court's Heller opinion is binding law in New York. “

The memorandum by A.G. Eric T. Schneiderman seeks the United States District Court for Northern District of New York’s denial of an injunction to lift a state ban, citing six points for the court to consider, including the plaintiff “does not have a Second Amendment right to possess a Taser or a stun gun – even within his own home … There is a legitimate question as to whether Tasers or stun guns are even “bearable arms” [and] There is also a legitimate question as to whether Tasers or stun guns are ‘in common use…’”

It seems to me that miserable fascist bastard should actually read some recent case law.

Opinion | Unanimous pro-Second-Amendment stun gun decision from the Supreme Court

The police state shall infringe as they damn well please.

I blame SCOTUS.
They simply overturned the Plaintiff's conviction and struck down the law in Massachusetts without making a ruling that's binding nationwide. Caetano is not binding case law, but it can certainly be cited.

Fuck him, He isn't telling me shit!

 

[Catskillkid]

It's clear to me that Schneiderman and the rest of the ruling class in NY want the residents of this once great state to be nothing more than victims.

While I don't wish harm on anyone you gotta hope karma comes around and bites people like him in the ass.

Yup, and with the teeth of a Grizzly Bear!

That's fair, when you break into my house stay away from the waving rod of blue fire.

They have to figure out if a SCOTUS ruling applies in NY!!!????? Absolutly asinine. This makes my blood boil. Maybe someday NY will wake up and join free America, but probably not until everything east of Westchester falls into the Atlantic. What happened to the good old days of tar and feathering traitors of liberty?

I thought the supreme courts only ruled on corrected Interpretation of the law? Not any bearing on the case judgement?

The Court has held that “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding,” and that this “Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States.” In this case, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts upheld a Massachusetts law prohibiting the possession of stun guns after examining “whether a stun gun is the type of weapon contemplated by Congress in 1789 as being protected by the Second Amendment.”
