Justice Anthony Kennedy<\/a> announced his retirement<\/a> from the Supreme Court<\/a> effective the end of July.<\/p>\n

Already there is speculation<\/a> that his replacement will give us a court more supportive of 2nd Amendment<\/a> rights.\u00a0 That is probably right.\u00a0 To understand how New York representatives would react to a pending gun case that would significantly impact the state, look at how they prepared for the Janus decision<\/a> which said public employees cannot be forced to pay union dues.<\/p>\n

Public sector unions knew they would likely lose that case so earlier this year their allies in the legislature passed and Governor Cuomo<\/a> signed a new law designed to blunt Janus’ impact<\/a>.\u00a0 I would expect the same thing to happen when it appears another major SCOTUS ruling on gun rights is imminent.<\/p>\n
