Surprise pro-2A ruling by the liberal 9th circuit

[Steuben Jerry]

And where is NYSRPA on fighting the SAFE Act? No help for NY'ers. I purposely let my membership lapse when they pulled the lawsuit (which was on it's way to SCOTUS), and sent the money to the NRA instead. I get it, they pulled when Scalia passed away to not risk losing, but Gorsuch is in now and it's been crickets from NYSRPA since they pulled it.

California wins one for the 2A, and our NY gun rights organizations don't even try anymore.

Scalia did not support "unlimited" 2nd Amendment rights.

Agreed, and neither do I, but that's what NYSRPA stated as the reason for pulling back their effort. I believe the NRA considers NY a lost cause (and I don't blame them) but it's just damn disappointing that our own state organization just ceased trying. There's no longer any reason for the Dems to not pull another middle of the night stripping of our next gun right.

Not sure it's a real win as it has to back before the "9th", but certainly gives some hope in........CA!

Most people in NY don't stand up like they do down south, the mid-west, or even out west.

After reading this I tried to see when the last Pro-gun protest was. It was last April, and I would bet most on here didn't have a clue it was happening, if they did they sure didn't share to help get more people involved:

If I had known I sure as hell would have been there. It's funny in this state, people will drive from NYC to WNY for wings, but won't make the trip to defend the 2nd Amendment.

 

I again stand my ground, I am not paying anyone who doesn't do their job. If I pay you to mow my lawn and you half-ass it, "You're Fired!".

He certainly didn't support "Limited" 2nd Amendment rights either.  He said the right could be regulated, but on a very limited basis that conforms to the individual liberties the founders intended.  He was not a supporter of bans on handguns, concealed carry,  ANY semi-auto firearm or ANY large capacity magazines.  No right is unlimited.  But no right is currently more restricted then those defined by the 2nd Amendment.  Scalia was very much opposed to the majority of those restrictions.  About the only restrictions he ever verbalized supporting, were on true military only type weapons, such as full auto and explosive devices.  Even those he felt should only require a permit to possess.

I believe there should be some restrictions. Nobody needs a nuke to kill a deah. I'm on the fence on RPG's.

One:  It's not about deer hunting.  Two:  It's a Bill of Rights, not a Bill of Needs.

What restrictions would you be OK with?

[Steuben Jerry]

I was imitating Cuomo's infamous quote about 10 bullets. And for restrictions, I'd go with what I said above.

Well our wings are very good, ya know .

Eating a dozen or so wings doesn't require a commitment. Supporting the 2A absolutely does require a commitment. There's the problem.

Wings don't require a commitment? Every time I eat very hot ones I have to make an iron clad commitment for about 30 minutes after I wake up the next morning.

Strong TP and a stout heart!

Yeah well I make some tasty wings right here in my kitchen that would taste even better after attending a pro A2 rally.
