NY Supreme Court Considers SAFE Act Injunction

[pcfixer]

the New York Supreme Court has stated that they will issue an injunction against the new SAFE Act on April 29th—unless the state can prove that the law is constitutional. This puts the burden of proof on the state of New York to show the Act is legal under the newly re-affirmed provisions of the Second Amendment, which is impossible

Cuomo is probably having a coronary, he probably thought he had a couple of years before this gets to SCOTUS.

This makes my ***k hard! Will be watching this closely. Wonder how MD higher courts would act if presented with this same case?

 

[Minuteman]

Outstanding!

 

[Phil I Am]

Excellent! At minimum, this will cost the state money and make Cuomo squirm.

...If this happens, I just hope that it happens before O'bama fvcks it up by appointing another "wise Latina"....

When I saw this I got excited, then I RTFA.

Paraphrased: The judges have said, "We are not going to issue an injunction and we are giving NY state 8 weeks to create a defense against this suit. At that time we will review the NY state papers and get back to you..."

Actually its good news. Courts rarely say that what they will do before hearing from both sides.

Hopefully this is taken into consideration as sbs281 enters the House. Nobody likes to be made to look like a fool, especially people in seats of power. If this injuction is enacted, that is exactly what Cuomo, O'malley, and all his senate pawns will look like.....

The biggest issue, to me, is the squishy politician that claims to be a 2A fan but thinks it's a good idea for limiting rounds in a magazine and for incremental licensing. Their votes are the ones that will criminalize thousands of folks in the state and deny all the rest a quick ability to protect themselves and their families. I am sick and tired of reading how some politician has sympathy for our cause, as it were. They know there will be hundreds of arrests over technicalities. They know some young woman with a protective order will get murdered because she can't get a handgun. They don't care. They only care whether the political powers in Maryland will punish them down the road. I am really tired of reading about which political hack owns a Glock.

This should be awesome......

 

[annihilation-time]

There's still hope.

 

[Bravo]

They are fighting back

Needs lawyers though....

Im surprised SAF and Alan Gura havent put it out there to represent the people of NY.

 

[Saginaw]

It is the start

Lets all pray the State looses

 

[MessedUpMike]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like there are 2 constitutional challenges here.
1) The law itself
2) The fashion is which the law was passed.

I've been following this on NYFirearms.com

The Attorneys who filed the lawsuit have been answering questions directly.

wtf? The way I keep hearing about the NY Safe Act is that it is not applied evenly to Police, retired LE, Film makers, and others exempted. In American you are not supposed to selectively apply the law even if it is constitutional. I'm sure most of it is unconstitutional. I'd also like to see the states that Neighbor NY sue them for telling their citizens to sells their mags out of state.
