SCOTUS Ignores New York Second Amendment Infrigements
BY Herschel Smith

SCOTUS keeps kicking that can down the road.
More specifically:
Reuters is mischaracterizing this a bit. The SCOTUS rejected an interlocutory appeal, not certiorari of the final case. I think GOA will have to ask for en banc review now before appeal to the supreme court.https://t.co/zZ4s3r7Ziy

But it’s just an excuse. They’re cowardly and don’t want to deal with it. They also don’t want to deal with the Snope AR ban case from Maryland or any other state.
I understand that there may be other issues at play here. For example, Thomas and Alito may not be allowing this to be taken up on certiorari because they know they don’t have the votes and they don’t want to set bad precedent. After all, the great libertarian Gorsuch hinted during the bump stock ban case that congress should make them illegal.
Either way, this continues the cowardly behavior of the court. The priests in black robes aren’t all that, are they? They’re scared of their own shadows.

I care not what old men in dusty robes have to say. My rights come from the Creator, not Man.

Right answer.

The Supreme Court’s true allegiance is not to the country or the Constitution, but to their fellow black-robed jurists. They aren’t loyal to the law — they’re loyal to the precedents laid down by their legal fraternity, all carefully layered on top of each other like sediment in a river bank, and with the authority and the sensibilities of their fellow jurists. To go OVERTURNING! things and holding fellow judges in CONTEMPT! why, that would be downright rude.
Once you understand this, everything about our legal system and the fix our country is in springs into sharp focus.

Codrea doesn’t even address a FRACTION of New York’s infringements. You have to sign a HIPAA waiver and submit your medical records to the State to get a permit. Once you get your permit
-you have to renew it every three years
-all handguns must be registered and are subject to summary confiscation
-any doctor or nurse can summarily declare you mentally ill and have all your guns confiscated for life, no appeal
-it is a felony to carry or possess any rifle, pistol or shotgun almost anywhere: https://gunsafety.ny.gov/frequently-asked-questions-new-concealed-carry-law
-all ammo and firearm purchases require a state background check and registration of the purchase with the NYSP
-you need a permit to purchase any semi-automatic rifle. Since the AR/AK platforms are banned, this means that yes, you need a permit to purchase a Mini-14 or 10/22 or Garand
-all magazines are limited to 10 rds
-every firearm in your home must be locked if an individual under age 18 is present
-you cannot leave a firearm in your vehicle unless it is locked in a fireproof case
-there’s more but you get the idea…

I never said he did. Nor did he.
If you wanted a complete and comprehensive catalog of all infringements, that would be time-consuming to produce. Someone would have to pay me a lot of money to do that.
