Judge blocks New York limits on carrying guns on private property

A federal judge has blocked New York from restricting the carrying of guns on private property under a Democratic-backed law adopted following the U.S. Supreme Court’s June ruling that struck down the state’s strict gun permitting regime.
Tuesday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge John Sinatra in Buffalo struck down a provision in the law that made it a felony for a licensed gun owner to possess a firearm on any private property unless the property owner allowed it with a sign or by giving express consent.
From the decision.
Property owners indeed have the right to exclude. But the state may not unilaterally exercise that that right …
We believe in property rights, even against the state. That certainly includes property owners who do not wish for you to bear arms on their property. But you see what NY did there, yes? They exercised that right on behalf of property owners. In other words, they didn’t respect the rights of property owners to make the decision on their own property.
What NY did runs exactly counter to the notion of property rights, and thus the judge reached the right decision.

As a former resident of ny for 40 years, pay attention here: this is how they think. They absolutely believe in their heart and soul that they know best, and better than you. They are willing to kill you to prove it to you if needed. That is how certain they are of their own perfection. And they really do think they are perfect, infallible, hence why they never apologize when proven wrong. No protection from infection, side effects galore, their answer is ‘it would have been worse if unjabbed’. Think about the absolute hubris required to ignore all facts for 2 years and follow a decision that was (now) admittedly made with little to no evidence.

The injunction will only last until Attorney General Letitia “Mammy” James appeals it to the Second Circus, and they will quash it just like they quashed a previous injunction against the state’s Satanic “laws.”
