In December, the court will hear the case of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York, which has the potential to rival or surpass Heller for its impact on gun rights and gun regulation.
At issue is a New York City ordinance adopted in 2001 that bars residents from taking their guns outside city limits. The ordinance was challenged in a federal lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association’s New York affiliate and three city residents, who argued that the regulation was unconstitutional in light of Heller. |

| America was not formed to be a democracy, but a Republic. If the Supreme Court so rules... Fan-Frickin-Tastic! |

+1 to above comment.
So if SCOTUS declares NYC's gun law unconstitutional -- and it is -- then democracy is ....dead? Because "the will of the people" has been thwarted?
"The will of the people" to violate the Constitution? --- The Highest Law of the Land??
Our ejumakashun system is in dire need of being overhauled!!!!! |

| Sounds like the court has an opportunity to restore our "Constitutional Republic". |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
