So now lawsuits are needed in every state where unconstitutional laws have been enacted? This is going to take awhile.

Of note, the Colorado law used the New York SAFE Act one-evil-feature description of "assault weapons" to be banned.

Unfortunately it will take lawsuits against established gun control to undo all of it. It would be nice if the Supreme Court could just rule all gun control unconstitutional. With the new and correct standard set on how to rule on 2A cases, it shouldn't take much to walk back gun control though. The annoying thing will be the continued passing of gun control in the face of this ruling. There really ought to be penalties for lawmakers who do.

New York Social Media Requirement Prevents Authorization of Permits​

The New York State anti-Second Amendment law, enacted under an extraordinary session brought about by Governor Hochel, is blatantly unconstitutional under the terms of the recent Bruen decision by the Supreme Court. Several provision of the law are likely to be struck down. This essay focuses on the requirement to provide social media accounts, and the practical mechanisms which mean very few permits will be approved under this provision.

Those which are approved are likely to take an unconstitutional amount of time. From Bruen, page 30 of the opinion, footnote 9:



Authorities who are empowered by New York State law to issue permits face extreme danger if they approve of permits under the recently passed scheme. Section IV is a nearly impossible task for one person who is required to process dozens or hundreds of applications. This appears to be by design.

Not many people who have the authority to approve a permit will be able to take the time to meticulously go through three years of social media data to determine if there is one off-color or politically incorrect post among tens of thousands. The process is necessarily subjective and lengthy.

The risk for the approving authority, if they do not do this, will be perceived as very high.

If one of hundreds of permit applicants who are approved, becomes involved in a shooting, even if fully justified, of someone in a government approved "victim" class, their career will be in jeopardy. Consider what happened to the police officers in Minneapolis, who followed written policy, and ended with a prison sentence or undergoing trial.

If I ever have a permit delayed or refused due to a subjective interpretation of something that I have written, electronically or in print, that is legal under my first amendment rights (i.e. not a threat and not a call for violence), I will use all legal means necessary to rectify the situation. I will sue the necessary authorities individually as well as the state agencies responsible for restricting my constitutional rights as a law-abiding, tax-paying, American citizen. I will seek substantial fiscal compensation for abridgement of my civil rights under New York code (since the right to keep and bear arms is not in the New York constitution, but rather in New York civil rights code).

I do not believe in violence. So, I will use the law against those who would bastardize it and use it against me. Should this ever become necessary, you will all hear about it.

How come Scotus or lower court doesn't weigh in on the unconstitutional practices of Nys regarding proper cause now good moral character, same thing. It's giving licensing officers same authority.

The Supremes almost never take a petition directly. Additionally, they can't address an issue until it is brought to them. Anything from them will likely have to work its way up through several rounds of appeals before they weigh in - if they decide to weigh in.

I feel that 1808 may pass the house. Even then it's looking hit or miss, but I do not see it passing the senate.. if it does it will be a very very close one, then destroyed in the courts thanks to Bruen.

In the mean time I'm still more interested in the AWB in the 9th and 4th Circuit before this one

So basically Nys is not following the ruling and it will wind up in court again.

United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit​


The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (in case citations, 2d Cir.) is one of the thirteen United States Courts of Appeals. Its territory comprises the states of Connecticut, New York and Vermont. The court has appellate jurisdiction over the district courts in the following districts:

First one needs to show they have been wronged ... Show damages rights have been slighted. These laws have to be enacted before we can show we have been slighted. There are cases on the books that have in many cases put on hold until this decision was determined (New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen ) . Which it has . Now many of these cases can and will get shoved back to a lower court for lets say new determination in the way a case is looked at. This is where strict scrutiny comes into play. Hardly any of these courts were using this so a whole lot of cases could be reviewed. and acted upon.

I believe it is a big mess for the court system . It is a mess or their own doing.
Folks I am not a legal scholar :wave: Feel free to correct my mistakes in the above answer.

There are three ways a case can make it to the supreme court:
1. (The usual say) - a case from a lower federal (inferior) court is appealed. That is, decided in a district court, appealed to the appellete court, and appealed to Scotus via writ of centori (latin for "to be more fully informed"). SCOTUS has the option to take or not take the case.
2. Appeal from a state supreme court. That is, a case is done in a states court system (not federal), and an appeal is made after that state's highest court decides the case. SCOTUS may take the case if they deem the case interesting in terms of violation of constitutional or federal law.
3. Original jurisdiction - while unusual, this can happen if the case is a conflict between states where there is no other court having jurisdiction.

It would be interesting if one of the free states sued NY resulting in a possible SCOTUS review (#3) on grounds around perhaps the 14th amendment and treatment of its citizens while traveling in NY. Long shot, and IANAL so perhaps issues like standing would prevent the case.
