People are fleeing the state in droves:
“… More than 1 million people moved out of the New York area to another part of the country since 2010 … The number of people leaving the region — which includes parts of New Jersey, Connecticut, the lower Hudson Valley and Long Island — in one year swelled from 187,034 in 2015 to 223,423 in 2016, while the number of international immigrants settling in the tri-state area dwindled from 181,551 to 160,324 over the same period, records show …”
The means, as of right now, the state will loose at least one, possibly two votes in the electoral college after the 2020 redistricting. It also means shifting one or two Senate seats and at least three Assembly seats closer to New York City.
That should be the end of the Republicans as a major party in the state.
So that means that the 2A will be pushed to its limits in this state and it will necessarily come to a head in the courts as to weather Heller has any force at all. Especially if it does end up in SCOTUS. And even if it does not (no cert), that will be deterministic.
Here is where our win in 2016 was pivotal.
Ideally, we will have a reciprocity law as well as two SCOTUS decisions on AWB and RTC before then.
