Are you serious? Are you saying that an Amendment is not valid unless it’s challenged in a Court?

Can I just say, that wins "subtle and hysterical of the week" in my book - and it's only Tuesday?
Never said that at all! What I said is that laws that the Amendment may over rule need to be challenged! They just don't go away.

So what are you saying exactly in regards to the right to bear arms in NY whether applying in the the Civil Rights Law or the US Constitution?
Has the law ever been challenged under NY Civil Rights Law?
But RTKABA it is not in the NYS Constitution!

I am an American constitutional lawyer – and I see our government using Covid-19 to take away our fundamental rights
Do we really think “it can’t happen here” in America? Could we quarantine the constitution? Are we doing it already? Panics from pandemics unleash...

Challenged for what?
NYS firearms laws.

Firearm laws have been challenged and affirmed by Kangaroo Courts. But if you are saying the 2A as a whole being challenged that it doesn’t apply to NY, then keep waiting because it never will happen because the BOR applies to all states.

Just a small part of his agenda. As for the virus ..... he cares nothing of the people, the common man, women, or child.
Ex. bail reform law, and on and on.....
As a medical professional I understand it from that standpoint but it's still ridiculous. Essentially, drunks have more rights than the average citizen who may want to get a firearm to be able to protect themselves.
Granted that people shouldn't have waited so long to get a firearm, but that still doesn't change things. When it comes to that, I find myself laughing at all of the people who have never been full on supporters of the 2A. Not until they need to get a firearm and find that their rights are being trampled on that they become upset and understand the battle the rest of us have been fighting.

What would be great is if the whole "may issue" process went away. But that's not going to happen.
As a second choice, some federal rule like the one for banks.
Banks are prohibited by law from being closed for more than a couple days at a time. Now that doesn't make sense for individual FFLs, but it would for any government controls.
"If you shut down your BGC or permitting process for more than 3 days, then an automatic exemption exists for anyone purchasing a gun until it becomes available again. Any other shutdown within 3 days of the first one instantly triggers the exception with no 3 day delay".
Any law designed to reign in government power needs "teeth" or they will just ignore it when it suits them.

Sorry @FrankenCub I just logged back in and missed your quote on me. I used to think there was a 2ndA here but it's gone. Maybe due to the patriot act and 911? .........I also think that's why the NRA said NY is a lost cause.
For clarification I'm not defending the NRA.

I thought at one time it was in the NY constitution but that thinking was around Safe Act time. I dont believe it was ever in the NY constitution, its been separate the whole time.
And just for good cause, fuck the NRA and FUAC.

Banks are a slightly different animal.
I dont necessarily disagree with your sentiment, just not sure I agree with the logic you use to get there.

If there are riots imminent in your neighborhood tell me which you'd rather wait for, a gun or a teller.
With ATM machines and online banking available 24/7 all over the place, I'd argue that requiring branch offices to be open is *less* important than allowing firearm purchases.

Hmmm. Anyone up for pistol permit recertification should print out a hard copy, fill it out, lick the envelope and mail it in.

I dont disagree. My line of thought had to do with the Fed, the FDIC, and so forth, as far as banks are concerned.
Now, if you can get Springfield, etc, up and running as a government sponsored entity shipping out guns, then we'd be talking!

I wasn't talking about the manufacturers or FFLs. Just the actual government run BGCs.
If they can tell a private bank they need to stay open, they sure as hell should be able to keep their own department open.
If the law said that BGCs could be bypassed if the office was closed or overwhelmed, I bet they'd change their mind about closing that office real quick.
"if the FFL waits on hold more than 10 mins, automatic proceed"

Ah, I see @spat. No need for BGC = no need for FFL's...
Same page (I think!)
My issue with this thread is OP implied that ATF was/is proactively shutting down FFL's. That is not, that we know of, the case.

Exactly. I hate stupid articles like this. Big dipshit headline, misleading picture, basically banking that some people aren't going to actually read it.
As we all know now, it's garbage, it was all the counties that did this on their own. Maybe it had something to do with essential/non-essential businesses, but Cuomo didn't directly issue an order for this.
On a better note for anyone in Monroe County, ffl friend of mine knows the new County Clerk and after I mentioned why can't our permit amendment process be more like buying a new car (tax/title/license/etc taken care of at the dealer), he started up conversation w/ her to see if they can't eliminate that whole trip to the Clerk in the first place with a coupon. Call right then and there, add it, then you go home w/ your gun then. Not 100% sure if that's how things are going to end up, but it'd be great if it did. Permit/guns you own is already accessible by police when they pull you over, right? Would be nice to eliminate the whole "printed guns on a separate piece of permit" if they can already access that data from the computer. We'll see I guess.

I think they do that in Delaware County. I may be wrong.
