NY SAFE Act upheld at District Court

Not So Fast

it's even worse!
According to New York state law, the state does not recognize lower federal court decisions when they conflict with New York laws. I believe New York is the only state with this provision.
Back to seven.
 
For my part, I trust Scalia. I've seen and heard him in public, and he first of all is deeply supportive of the Constitution as written, and has taken pains to interpret it in the light of the Founders' intentions. He has published the methods of his reading of the law, and seems to stand behind it.

Further, he has supported the concept of citizens' possession of present-day military weaponry. Drawing lines over such things as rocket launchers does not seem to me to be overly restrictive. Leaving doors open (in Heller) for further discussion of weapon carry is a concession, in my mind, to the necessity of attaining a majority in a court that teeters on a knife-edge.

He has been known to take fellow Justices to the range, for the purpose of introducing them to the realities of the shooting sports. This is far from a bad thing.

Beyond all that, he seems to be the most vocal, outspoken and articulate supporter of our 2A rights on the SCOTUS.

At least, so I see him.
 
Updates? I haven't looked beyond knowing that there will be an appeal. Usually, the first appellate brief won't be seen for anywhere between 3 months to a year.

There have also been reports that some Sheriffs have said they will enforce the law, that what the court struck down, only applies to that particular federal district.... Sound familiar?
 
I live on Long Island and know the only 2A victory this state can ever expect will come from a court outside of NY and forced upon the state. Everything before such a decision is just going through the motions.

What modifications would make a more-or-less "standard" AR-15 legal under the NY SAFE Act?

Don't take this as gospel but a few of the mods would be a low capacity mag, no pistol grip, and a non-collapsible stock. There's a link on another thread and pic of a modified AR for one of the states that is something of a monstrosity. :) The gun grabbers admit it is legal but complain it still looks evil.
 
Many are just leaving the high restictions, high taxes etc not just the gun owners and the politiciaqns are clueless. NYS has already lost large amounts of tax revenues ,people and businesses.
Kahr has bought a industrial park in PA and will enlarge there operation to include production. They are also inviting gun related companies to move to the park ! :p

My information is that Kahr will move their corporate headquarters from NJ to PA, possibly sometime in 2016. They have purchased land. They currently have no plans to relocate production from Worcester, MA, to PA.
