All the folks who now can get permits are getting ones that have very little utility. It might be the case that folks in the bad counties may have an easier time (as far as absolute denials as before) in getting a gun - after all the new checks and training. If they pass this hurdle, then so what.
NYSPRA is getting flack and their response is:
1. Well, we will or someone else will fill new suits. The time scale for that may be years, given appeals and if the 2nd Circuit trashes them, years at Scotus.
However, We cannot trust Scotus to clearly take out the most onerous provisions of sensitive locales and opt in business rules. They blather again and leave these in place. Will they get into the weeds of the killer car storage provisions. Frankly, I don't think they understand every day pragmatics.
2, Celebrate that Scotus remanded 4 other cases, only one has to do with carry. Is the loss of state wide carry worth the mag ban case. Scotus could have handled that on its own and quickly. Sending it back is just more legal weeds and them again not living in the pragmatic real world. Do we care about a mag ban if carry is wiped out for years?
So it's rather a weak defense of not seeing what was coming. Oh, goodie - now we can sue from more - really?
