“A state Supreme Court judge on Wednesday denied a motion for a preliminary injunction of the state’s new gun control law.” That’s the word from democratandchronicle.com. The suit argued that Governor Cuomo’s “message of necessity” ruse to rush civilian disarmament legislation through the New York Assembly in twenty minutes was unconstitutional. Judge Thomas McNamara claimed that he was constrained by precedent preventing judicial interference with a message of necessity. The Supreme Court, however, is not the highest court in New York state. That distinction is held by the Court of Appeals. Lead plaintiff Bob Schulz vowed to take the case at least that far. Note: this is a preliminary injunction for the class action suit we discussed yesterday, and not the Tresmond case which has yet to be heard. This isn’t over yet.
Nick, if you’re getting a SCAR-16S, why did he spec the 7.62 reticle on the scope? Shouldn’t you be getting the 5.56 reticle?
It’s super interesting, and more than a little jealousy-inducing, to read stuff like this. You’re trading freedom of choice in firearms and accoutrements for the best that your pre-selected sponsors can offer. Awesome now, but could be an interesting conundrum down the road when you find yourself wishing you could use a different scope or something.
One good thing about universal registration is as soon as the database gets hacked we’ll know who all the two-faced d’bags are…if they follow the rules.
About that 20 day wait between the FFL’s purchase of the gun then ability to sell it again. If all sales were required to go through the FFL (universal NICS) would that twenty day delay still apply?
Who considers a 20 day wait to be “easy”? If a grabber really considers that to be easy I don’t even want to know what they assess as “reasonable”…
I’m just waiting for the ATF to arrest and charge him for straw buying.
Any day now. You’ll see. Really.
And people said bullpups were a fad…
Some welcome good news today.
I was disappointed to see that all of this just amounts to the counties expressing their displeasure. I was hoping it was more like the ones in other western states where they literally passed legislation saying they would arrest anyone who tried to enforce unconstitutional laws, even if they were Feds. That’s been entered as a bill here in Mass too, but I know it has no chance whatsoever of passing – the lib-tards here are completely anti-gun, even though once you get outside of the Rt 95 belt Mass is very pro-gun.
Wow and if they were wearing Nazi uniforms it would really complete the picture now wouldn’t it?
On a serious note there is a difference between increased police presence and the intimidation and shake downs we are seeing here. The police can work with citizens to police themselves, and respond to calls regarding bad guys hanging on their street corners. This is just taking it way to far!
Just waiting for some Girl Scouts to he arrested for selling cookies door to door. That should go over real well…
WA gun laws > CA gun laws.
I feel bad for all my family in CA, but if they don’t want to listen to me about how much I enjoy life in the Pacific Northwest… well, that’s their choice. I’d much rather visit CA on vacation and live in WA than vice versa, that’s for sure.
Gotta love TrailBoss.
the subtle difference between cops and soldiers is the operating assumption . cops serve and protect the public . Soldiers kill and control the enemy . the soldier is supposed to be a belligerent, His role is to initiate violence. A police officer is only supposed to employ violence to protect himself and the public. In the course of an arrest , police do not normally use violence unless the person attacks them .
These are two incomparable mindsets and they are a world apart. The mindset is what separates a police force from a military occupation.
It’s the mindset, not the title that tells us who you are. These guys are just dressing the part.
Left a note via the link. I’m traveling and skiing in Utah from now on.
