    | A proposal to adopt a gun storage law in the City of Poughkeepsie is being opposed by Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro.
 
 The Republican county executive said it is a “total infringement on the rights of law abiding citizens.”
 
 The Poughkeepsie Common Council is considering the local law that would require gun owners to secure their weapons when not in direct possession. Molinaro called that “an unnecessary overreach” by the city.

    | Uh, forgive me for asking this, but.... 
 ...hasn't Heller already ruled that mandated gun storage is unconstitutional?
 
 Why, yes, it has!
 
 So, yet again, we see localities thumbing their noses at SCOTUS precedent.

                      | "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |  |  |
