NYSRPA to challenge the new NY gun law

bhesler · Jan 21, 2013

From www.nysrpa.org:

"NYSRPA, in co-operation with the NRA, are having the Cuomo law reviewed by a highly qualified legal team. We ask that no other 3rd party legal action be taken without prior consultation. We realize that this law impacts a large number of people, but a proper legal review will take some time. NYSRPA/NRA will be filing a Notice of Claim prior to submitting a brief on the merits of the constitutionality of the new gun law. Involved in the lawsuit will be two of the nations best 2nd Amendment attorneys. This is a very important proceeding and must be handled properly with the best lawyers. We will not win without support from gun owners. You can help either by joining/renewing your membership or making a online donation.

Please do not call or e-mail the office or directors asking for more information. Any announcements on this issue will be published here on our website. Thank you for your understanding."

I wonder which 2A attorneys are involved.

This is what I wanted to see from the NRA. I'm glad to see it.

...We ask that no other 3rd party legal action be taken without prior consultation...

While I recognize that there are a few great lawyers who are defending the 2A, I have to wonder, who the lawyers they have on staff, but also, why they should be the only the only ones "in charge" so to speak, of legal action?

fear the high courts will only hear so many cases, and may take a case with worse facts that damages the chances of getting the laws overturned? Frankly, I think we are on a 3-5 year time frame. I don't see a NYS court overturning this, and I fear we have to hope for SCOTUS to step in.

Trickyasafox is going in the right direction. The old saying, Too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil the soup is absolutely correct.

By now I hope everyone who is interested knows that when the New Your legislature and governor rushed a law through in the dead of night they made some serious mistakes (like not putting in an exception to 7-round magazines for police and security services).

It would be foolish for out side to do the same thing. Careful research and a petition backed by citations takes time, but pays off in the end. Failure to do it right can end up with the case being dismissed.

It would be wise to do exactly what was requested in post #1, and put our eggs in a basket that has a solid bottom.
