Lawsuits Everywhere  by Tom Reynolds

For too long, conservatives, in general, and gun owners, in particular, have been put on the defensive by the never-ending attacks from the left. Der Fuhreress, Kathy Hochul, attempted to continue this trend with the latest gun control laws in which she tries to out Cuomo Cuomo.  (Note that Cuomo passed the SAFE Act using a Writ of Necessity to bypass measured debate and Hochul’s laws were passed in the same way.) 

Fortunately, some gun owners are going on the offensive and New York will now be buried in lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of those laws.  Let’s hope this will keep New York’s anti 2nd Amendment Attorney General Letitia James busy defending those laws instead of dreaming up new attacks on gun owners.  Of course, James is working on the taxpayer’s dime so money is not an issue for her.

Note that this suit was filed in federal court to bypass Cuomo appointed judges in New York State courts.  The Southern District of NY is not the most liberal court in the USA but it’s “up there”, so appeals will probably happen, no matter who prevails in that court.

Below is a link to an article which explains the background very well.

The link also includes the actual lawsuit.  It’s worth reading the “Allegations of Fact” to discover how difficult, time consuming and expensive it is to get a pistol permit in New York City.  (It’s almost as if the city does not want you to have a permit!)

The only down side to these lawsuits – other than they are necessary – is that gun owners who might have gotten motivated to – let’s say do something like – VOTE, will once again go inactive and let someone else do all the work.  We can’t let that happen or the anti 2A’s will once again win in November and double down on their attacks. 

We are hearing that even more lawsuits are coming.
