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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
