Well, it does.

Obviously.

let’s see if Chief Traitor John Roberts agrees.

[EricT.]

I certainly hope this gets overturned before that Iraq war veteran who got arrested for selling his rifle goes to prison.

[ModernDayCato]

Lets also hope that they use the same framework for the Connecticut law that’s about to come out.

It is illegal for New York State to pass any ex post facto laws.

"The 46-page complaint seeks to overturn the law on a number of fronts, including that the new assault weapon ban has “radically broadened” the definition of such weapons to include “countless” guns that had been considered COMMON BEFORE THE LAW WAS ENACTED."

Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

It’s about time.

Does the NY law require registration of all firearms like the proposed CT law?

Most people do not know that Queens County NY was the veritable birthplace of the NRA. The country’s first nationwide shooting contests were held in the Queens section called Creedmor. Though long the site of a state mental hospital, and lately the secure location of the NYPD’s anti terrorist task force, the site’s nimrod history is still seen in the names of boundary streets like Springfield and Winchester Boulevards and Range street and Musket street.

let’s see if Chief Traitor John Roberts agrees.

The only thing government consistently does well is look after the interests of government.

[Logical me]

let’s see if Chief Traitor John Roberts agrees.

I have no respect for this traitor. He caused as much damage to America as the current communists leader King Obama. Obamacare has destroyed a huge piece of America. How could Roberts be so dumb.

New York’s SAFE Act is so massively unconstitutional that it would be very easy to present all the problems. You have six or eight patriotic lawyers go through the Constitution line by line, and Amendment by Amendment, and make lists of every violation, and you will find that it is a very long list. The violations of Amendments 2, 4, 5, and 9 are particularly egregious, although there are multiple other violations. The entire “law” should be overturned immediately.

Was Ryan's Budget Really a Losing Issue in 2012? Fascinating numbers!

This polling occurred in something of a perfect demographic storm for Democrats, with African-American voters turning out well above trend, and with fewer whites voting than in 2004. It is unclear whether this can be replicated in the next few cycles; it will certainly be difficult in the upcoming midterms.

First, while it is true that a majority of Americans voted against Republicans for the House, it is also true that a majority voted against Democrats for the House. When I tallied the numbers last month, the national popular vote was 49.18 percent for Democrats, 48.03 percent for Republicans, 1.11 percent for Libertarians, 1.03 percent for Independents, and 0.3 percent for Greens, with another 0.4 percent or so divided among 31 minor parties.**

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

Conrad Poppenhusen offered the remainder of the farm to the National Rifle Association as a rifle range for the New York State National Guard. When the NRA agreed, they renamed the site Creedmoor, after the Creed family. From the 1870s to the 1890s, Creedmoor hosted the National Rifle Association’s title match. Many nearby streets hold names relating to the association, including Winchester Boulevard as well as Range, Musket, Pistol, and Sabre Streets. In the 1890s, the property was acquired by the State. The range was closed in 1907.

Thanks for the tip. Conrad must be spinning.

A don’t forget the famous 19th Century target gun, the Creedmor rifle.

so according to the IDIOTS in Albany you can shoot ten rounds at a piece of PAPER, but NOT THE CRIMINAL INVADING YOUR HOME???

Since the 2010 US SC Case McDonald incorporated the 2nd under the 14th, thus applying it to the states, New York's law violates the 14th amendment as well as the 2nd.

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
