"A pro-gun group’s lawsuit seeking to undermine the city’s strict gun control laws has been shot down by a Manhattan Federal Court judge."
"The ... New York State Pistol and Rifle Association sued the city in 2013, arguing that laws limiting certain licensed handgun owners to carrying their unloaded weapons directly to or from their homes and shooting ranges infringed on their Second Amendment rights."
"Judge Robert Sweet said he wasn’t buying it last week in a 43-page ruling."
"'These regulations are reasonable and result from the substantial government interest in public safety,' Sweet wrote, citing previous rulings that 'outside the home, firearms safety interests often outweigh individual interests in self-defense.'" ... |

To Judge Sweet:
You swore an oath to uphold the US Constitution. Where in the Constitution does it allow a "substantial government interest" to abrogate the terms of the Constitution?
The 2nd Amendment says "shall not be infringed". It does not say "shall not be infringed unless some bureaucrat decides that it is a substantial government interest to do so" |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
