Remember how New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law to make anyone applying for a handgun license to turn over their social media accounts so that their “conduct and character” could be judged? New York residents who apply for a gun permit will have to give investigators their social media accounts so they can be judged on their “character and conduct”
New York’s ridiculous gun laws got absolutely slapped by the Supreme Court last month, so of course they’re planning to do this sort of thing now:
Yeah, guess what?
That’s totally unconstitutional.
A federal judge has struck down that and other parts of New York’s gun law.
From CNN : The state, however, cannot enforce a concealed carry restriction on public transportation, including subway cars and railroads; summer camps; at entertainment, gaming or sporting events; or zoos, libraries, parks, homeless shelters, domestic violence victims’ residential programs and licensed childcare programs among others, in part because these places are in locations where law enforcement or security are “presumably – readily available.”
Additionally, the state cannot enforce a requirement which would have required a prospective gun owner to turn over three years of their social media accounts. At least some of the insane parts of this law are struck down thanks to this judge.
From the Post Millennial : Federal Judge Glenn Suddaby blocked parts of a sweeping New York gun legislation package that went into law in September that involved strict application requirements for obtaining concealed carry permits and locations where concealed carry was prohibited on Thursday…Judge Suddaby of the Northern District of New York in Syracuse also gave three days for an appeal to his ruling, giving Hochul and New York state representatives time to appeal.That three-day window also allows the Gun Owners of America to challenge the entirety of the legislation in […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
