FPC looking for plantiffs

On: By: admin

The Firearms Policy Coalition is looking for potential plaintiffs in New York for future legal action.

Here’s what they’re interested in:

  • Live in either New York City or within the counties of Duchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, or Westchester
  • Are at least 21 years old
  • Possess a valid license to carry a handgun issued by their city or county of residence
  • Regularly visit New York City and regularly visits or travels through the Times Square area
  • Would carry a handgun in Times Square if not for the law prohibiting it
  • Would be willing to sue New York City and participate in a federal lawsuit as a named plaintiff

I believe they are anticipating a win in the Wolford v. Lopez currently before SCOTUS.

2A challenge to NYPD licensing delays

On: By: admin

Attorney Susan Chana Lask filed a federal civil rights action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York challenging prolonged administrative delays by New York City’s firearms licensing authorities that plaintiffs allege unlawfully burden rights protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief based on allegations that the City routinely fails to grant or deny handgun license applications even within the six-month timeframe set out in New York Penal Law § 400.00, resulting in extended waits that plaintiffs allege delay the exercise of Second Amendment rights.

Here is a press release in support of the legal action by Councilwoman Vickie Paladino.

Her presser: Keeping New Yorkers Safe: Governor Hochul Announces Nation-Leading Proposals to Crack Down on 3D-Printed Guns and Other Illegal Firearms

There are already a number of bills pertaining to this. I’ll know sometime later which ones she specifically wants as part of this.

One of the most retarded members of the legislature is already salivating over this:

Bragg supports defendant in Wolford v. Lopez

On: By: admin

Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg has filed an amicus brief in support of the defendant in Wolford v. Lopez. The Hawaiian law in question is similar to New York’s law prohibiting carrying firearms onto private property unless the property owner has previously consented.

I think SCOTUS is going to shoot down the law which will open up our law to a new legal challenge. We should get a decision by June.
