"Acting Supreme Court Justice Thomas McNamera’s decision, dated April 30 and received by the plaintiff’s counsel on Monday, directs the immediate release of 15 categories of information related to the state registry, including detailed geographic breakdowns (including county and ZIP code) and the number of applications as opposed to actual registrations. The FOIL also asks for the number of pistols and shotguns as well as rifles that were registered as assault weapons pursuant to the SAFE Act."

Show your cards Andy boy.

Wow that's is great!

Thanks for the post Elmer J.!

So it only took 15 months, and a judicial order,  for the "state of ny" to realize that citizens have rights?

It'll be another 15 months for them to decide what rights they'd like to 'give' us.

 

Will I still be able to get a side of fries with my soylent green when the time comes?

Glad to see a court decide this.  The question still remains, if Cuomo ignores the court, is there an "or else!" with that?

I think it's great to finally see how ineffective this poor legislation actually is and how I believe 75% of owners actually chose civil disobedience, but my question is do you think this will actually get the ball rolling to repeal this law? I hope it does but what does everyone think the releases of these figures will actually do to help us? I also think that King Andy doesn't care about court orders and there will be a larger hill to climb in order to get these figures to the public.

The one thing that the disclosure of these results will do is to quantify in hard numbers, the uselessness of tougher gun legislation. It takes it all out of the realm of emotion, and puts hard numbers to the futility of heaping worthless gun law on top of worthless gun law. The results will lend credibility in legal cases and also the bills in progress to limit or repeal the so-called Safe Act. It is also useful as some pretty strong talking points in any other campaigns against future gun control efforts. Shining the light on these things is the best way to make gains in the court of public opinion. It is always far better expose the failures of gun laws than to just let the emotional arguments against guns go unchallenged.

I bet the foil request will come come back we are unable to locate that information as this time crap.

Or heavily redacted.

[Big_Bean_Dog]

Or heavily redacted.

Don't expect there will be much to redact. They will be manufacturing "data" for the release.
