New York Moves to Nullify Supreme Court Decision Upholding Gun Rights
By Michael Filozof

In an act of breathtaking defiance and spitefulness not seen since Southern states engaged in "massive resistance" to the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board decision, the New York State Legislature gave a middle finger to the Supreme Court and voted Friday to effectively nullify the Court's decision last week in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.

After an extraordinary session for the explicit purpose of defying the Court, Senate Bill S51001 was rammed through on a party-line vote by the Democratic supermajority, passed the Assembly, and received the signature of Gov. Kathleen Hochul.
...
Ironically enough, even politically connected and wealthy persons who were issued "unrestricted" self-defense licenses and could carry almost anywhere under the previous licensing regime (except schools, courts, and jails) will now find their ability to CCW eviscerated.  Under the previous licensing scheme, even permit-holders with "restricted" licenses did not face criminal penalties if caught carrying outside the arbitrary restrictions — only suspension or revocation of license.  Going forward, all violations of carry restrictions will become felonies.  (A felony indictment results in immediate confiscation of all firearms, and a felony conviction results in disability to own firearms for life.)

In addition, the 42-page bill

- requires disclosure of all social media accounts, a police investigation, fingerprints, character references, and live-fire training and qualification for applicants.  (It should be noted that New York's handgun licensing requirements apply not just to CCW, but to simple ownership in one's own home.)

- requires three-year renewal of licenses.

- requires State Police approval and registration of all ammunition purchases.

- requires a monthly police audit of every license-holder to see if a reason to revoke a license exists

- makes it a crime to purchase body armor

- requires an identical license to purchase any semi-automatic rifle, including .22s.


New York has made it clear that the Constitution does not apply within its boundaries, no matter what the Supreme Court says.  As was the case after the Heller decision of 2008, the state's gun laws have actually become an order of magnitude more repressive following the legal "victory."

"Let's Go NY" (play on Brandon).... Hope the Supreme Court stomps their butts back into the stone age. As their laws stand now, I would be buried under the jail (with nobody lining up to pay my bail).

This is shots fired gang... if allowed to stand, why follow any rule a liberal judge makes if we can just nullify it. My state would like to "void" a few rules too.
