Bruen is the gift that keeps on giving. The legal team at Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) recently filed a motion for summary judgment in a lawsuit that challenges New York’s ban on concealed carry in several public spaces.
Despite the significant slap down by the Bruen case, the originally appointed Governor Kathy Hochul and her gun-grabbing bureaucrats in Albany, New York, are still pushing forward with unconstitutional gun restrictions. In other words, ignoring previous court decisions that have already declared her edicts unconstitutional. Hochul and her team of anti-gunners appear to be intent on making sure lawful citizens living within New York State have as difficult a time as possible protecting themselves in public with firearms. From extensive State-approved training to declaring practically every public place a “sensitive location,” aka, gun free zone. The State even tried to make gun owners give up their First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights by demanding access to social media accounts in an attempt to force lawful citizens to prove they are of “good moral character.” This, thereby, puts them at risk of biased interpretation and the risk of denial of gun ownership.
Lawmakers in New York seem to have been focused on creating a victim/predator society by creating insurmountable laws that violate the 2nd Amendment rights of citizens while simultaneously doing everything they can to keep violent criminals out of jail and on the streets. This ultimately puts families at risk by making them unarmed and helpless against a violent element emboldened by dangerous and radical left-wing policies.
On March 6, 2024, FPC reminded the Empire State of its boundaries when it comes to the 2nd Amendment rights of New Yorkers in a motion in the Christian v. Chiumento case.
Using Justice Clarence Thomas’ opinion in Bruen that made clear gun laws must meet historical tradition, FPC is holding the State of New York accountable and demanding it respects the rights of the people it represents. In this case, the motion challenges New York State’s constitutional violation of the 2nd Amendment with respect to the lawful carry of firearms in public parks and other private property that is open to the public.
The motion argues, “Both types of locations date back to the founding era, but New York will be unable to point to any relevant, similar historical tradition of banning carry in them. This court should grant summary judgment to plaintiffs and permanently enjoin enforcement of the challenged restrictions.”
FPC Action Foundation’s Vice President, and General Counsel and councel for FPC, Cody J. Wisniewski, said, “New York’s ban on carrying arms in public parks and on private property absent express consent is blatantly unconstitutional.”
FPC is asking individuals who would like to join the FPC grassroots army and support important pro-rights lawsuits and programs like these, to go to firearmspolicy.org.
