Village of Babylon prohibits sale of guns & ammo

[gunpoliticsny]

The Village of Babylon recently passed a law prohibiting the sale of firearms and ammunition. If any village residents are interested in becoming plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the new ordinance, please have them send me their contact info, name, phone and e-mail.

Guess it's called Babylon for good reason - morons.

 

[Brawny71]

Wow! There are gun stores there! Someone should own the Village soon.

 

[Koz]

I bet cigarettes and cars kill more folks in Babylon than guns. When will these morons put the kabash on those sales? You know..."and do it for the children".

 

[GOPerfect]

No sarcasm.... I am not sure how I feel about this.

 

[Jsmegs77]

My ex wife’s family is from Babylon. Not what I would have expected, lots of blue collar people there, and a lot more Trump voters than you’d expect.

I hope this is stopped quickly.
However this article says it is restricting where gun stores can be and not banning them completely. You will need a special permit for the areas that are zoned for it. They will also continue to allow the bi-annual login show. I still don’t agree with it.

I hope this puts an additional fire under Trumps butt to straighten up the 2A and NY.

As they say it, poke the bear enough and it'll viciously attack.

Likely not even on his radar but I hope the same. Keep in mind Trump can’t do a whole lot without congress and the house. I’d love to see him poke the bear on 2a and the law where everything federally is legal in all states pass. I’d love to see Hochul explode into a weeping, crying, sitting mess over it. The decisions she is making are simply moronic

 

[Jsmegs77]

Since When the fuck do towns get to prohibit or take away your constitutional rights?

Well, NYC has been that way for a long time.

 

[Acer-m14]

Guns and Ammo stores should be in the local High School right next to the book supply store ..

 

[Zerex]

Bablyonians.........................under Hochul control.

 

[Robin]

Well golly gee, if its OK for a village to outlaw something as important as a constitutional amendment or two, then It should be OK to outlaw fat people in my town, and people that displayed a Harris sign, and people who drive electric cars, and anyone who............

Probably safer than the books the left are putting in libraries

 

[Paperpunch]

That must be why they moved the g×n show to a different location.

 

[Brawny71]

I would. Let the Village get what they paid for. Apparently they want to isolate and discriminate. I’m sure they will prosper. Honestly, if the populace allows this, they get what they get.

 

[FRANKIE]

Working there way over to LBR arms in Floral park. Would be a real jewel in their turd crown.

The same way you would feel about a village that outlawed practicing Judaism, or publishing a news paper.

*All* of the people responsible for this should be charged with violating rights under color of law.

"Ignorance is no excuse". From the guy who drafted it, to everyone who voted for it, do the first guy who tries to enforce it. They should all be going behind bars.

Nonsense, they need to be closer to the shooting range they use to teach proficiency during PE.

Is this a violation of the 2A? if so, how? Discuss...

Would it be a violation of the 1A to forbid running a house of worship in the town ?

It's like that.

How is not allowing a store in the village a violation of the 2A. They are not saying you cannot bear arms. Not taking away the right to own

They are saying you can't sell guns in the town.

In my mind that's the equivalent of saying you can't sell your religion.

Guns are sold in stores, religion is sold in churches.

The parallel seems obvious to me.

You may be the only one. While this may suck, it is NOT a violation of the 2A.

I will put it a different way, should there be a gun store located in a school? A court house? A prison?

shooting range = gym

Should there be a church there ?

It is one thing for the government not to build a church in a court house or a school. Those are government buildings. There shouldn't be anything in them but a courthouse and a school.

It's an entirely different thing to outlaw building one in a whole town.

Do you think it would be reasonable for a town to outlaw churches ?

 

[Acer-m14]

gun shop bad .,.. Christian bakery bad .. fancy art and book store good ...

Discrimination

If the area is not zoned for them, I am okay with this.

Again, what Right is removed by not allowing a gun store in the town square? Can you point out the exact wording of the 2A that this violates?

Zoning in general is bullshit, but there is a major difference between zoning and outright forbidding something.

You never answered whether you think it would be a violation of the 1A for a town to outlaw houses of worship in city limits.


But, to specifically address your question, the ability to acquire guns is necessary to be able to keep and bear them.

Imagine a town in 1800 America that said "we're not infringing on freedom of the press, we're just outlawing the sale of ink".

 

[Cooolone]

Are there voting stations in the town of Babylon?

If so, then you cannot limit or prevent the exercise of 2A activity, which includes purchasing firearms, within that same town...

Bruen made it very clear! You cannot have 2 tiered encumbrances, defacto restrictions, upon 2A Rights. If you vote there, you can 2A there, and that means all lawful activities!

Shall Not Be Restricted, means exactly that...

Not sure why it's a difficult concept to understand! And being a NY'er it is harder for some to accept, NO Limits! But that's exactly what it means! Yeah yeah yeah, don't even bring up yelling FIRE in a theater, because that's not what this is.

Again, you cannot separate the 2nd, and treat it any different than any of the other Rights! The training requirements, good character, storage and more are all in violation of Bruen, and therefore the Constitution. Enacting a Law placing limits on residents ability to obtain and secure purchases to support their 2A activity whereas it was already available would be a restriction, and that too, then a violation, or at the very least, additional encumbrances in order to do so.

Fuck NY!
