The social media requirement in New York’s concealed carry law imposes an unjustified burden on applicants while giving the state arbitrary and unbounded discretion that violates the First Amendment, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The law requires that applicants show they are of “good moral character” to receive a concealed carry permit, but First Amendment experts have argued that the social media requirement within the “good moral character” portion of the law is unconstitutional.
New York’s concealed carry law requires that applicants show they are of “good moral character” to receive a concealed carry permit, but First Amendment experts have argued that the social media requirement within the “good moral character” portion of the law is unconstitutional. Under the new concealed carry law, applicants must turnover a complete list of their social media accounts from the last three years, including accounts that are created under pseudonyms, according to the legislation.
“New York has no basis for prying into your personal or political views when it’s deciding whether it can take away your constitutional rights,” Free Speech Advocacy Group Institute For Free Speech President David Keaton told the DCNF.

The thought that never crossed their minds was if they had the power or authority to do it in the first place.
i thought her asinine laws were shot down?
The goal of the modern day government in the US. Impose whatever “laws” we want and then let the plebes pay lawyers to fight it out in the courts and if SCOTUS rules against us, just ignore their decision or change the wording a little and start over. As Obama once said “Elections have consequences”.
Would they really read through hundreds of my posts on the value of 19th century paintings?
This is exactly why we have a Second Amendment.

No.
But their chat bots sure would.
Trust those ?
The law would need the applicant to show they are of good moral character. How about they see if the NYS legislators can pass that standard first.
Also, 2A doesn’t codify the need for good moral character or describe how such a thing would be measured or scored.
They would have an AI process it. You are aware that most resumes submitted to larger companies these days are read and evaluated by AI as a first screening, right? Similar tech would be employed here.
The only thought that crossed their minds is to write a law that they know full well will have to get litigated again, and when that is struck down then they'll write another, and another, until eventually the makeup of the court changes and they can get Heller/McDonald/Bruen overturned.
And unfortunately SCOTUS cannot hold the NYS legislature in contempt for doing it.
“Would they really read through hundreds of my posts on the value of 19th century paintings?”
I think they’ll start with a blacklist of sites. Any posting on those sites will kill your application. If still undecided, they will key=word search your posts.
And what does the Gestapo say when you inform them that you’ve never had a “social media account”?

Did those paintings have LEAD paint?

They torture you till you admit you do.
Or maybe they have some accounts already made up for you, if you will ‘confess’.
Really weird; what would they do with a person like me?
Never had a TWATTER account
Never had a FAKEBOOK account
Never had a Instagram account
Never had a Whatsapp account
Never had a Linkedin account
Never had a Snapchat account
Never had or had any use for any of that CRAP, so how could they demand something I never had?
