Mag capacity.
Both Viramontes and Grant have "single feature" language. When SCOTUS strikes them down, ( overwhelmingly likely ) that ruling will destroy the law here in PRNY. The language in today's Third Circuit decision is far reaching and all encompassing. I suspect that the SCOTUS ruling next June will be very much like what was released today. There will be very little, if any ground for NY and the other dozen States that are hell bent on disarmament to stand on. Their only next move will to be to implement purchasing permits. Right now, those are allowed due to the vague language of footnote #9 in the Bruen decision. That footnote will indeed need to be addressed in years to come, but things take time and (finally) things are moving in the right direction.
Yes. Attrition of legal funds of 2dA groups is the goal.
You can bet your stolen tax dollars they are working on contingency's right as I type and they don't care about constitutional right and wrong. Just tie things up in the courts for another ten, fifteen years.
I agree, and would be amazed if NJ didn't employ some new Laws reflective of what NY did with the CCIA post Bruen.
Like I said, I was probably wrong. This is great news! The most wishy washy justice, Coney-Barrett, even seems to be on the right side of this one. Im 100% on Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, and 99% on Kavanaugh, and recently about 95% on Coney-Barrett.
I didn't say they wouldn't try, I'm just saying that I suspect the language in the decision by the third circuit will be mirrored in the SCOTUS decision next June. That language is unambiguous, and far reaching. It leaves New Jersey no ground on which to stand, and I suspect the same this time next year for the entire US.
I suggest if anyone wants a full feature MSR after a positive decision, you better start saving money now. There may be a very short window to legally buy one. Maybe plan a trip to PA or Ohio 3 minutes after the decision drops.
Undoubtedly NYS already has an army of tax payer funded lawyers drawing up multiple ways to infringe on our rights after a positive decision in this case.
licensing and permit to purchase schemes will undoubtedly be the next vehicle used. They will try to make it so expensive and cumbersome with training requirements that you'll just not bother. This is the "Footnote # 9" in BRUEN. That basically says that licensing and training requirements are "..not presumably unconstitutional as long as they don't present an undue burden.." But, that is where the fight will manifest. New York and the dozen other States that impose this tactic will have to defend that in court. That is why I said that "Footnote # 9" will have to be addressed - it will - and it will take time. But the trend is going in the direction of freedem and liberty nationwide.
IIRC the feature based bans got started because the named weapons bans were already ruled against because they were arbitrary.
Or, NJ doesn't appeal it because they know they'll lose and they don't want to make that ruling apply nationwide.
Financial attrition regardless of precedent
If New Jersey appeals this to SCOTUS, the case will be GVR'ed pending the outcome of Veramontes and Grant. Then in June the third circuit will once again look at the case and determine that their ruling stands as is. The third circuit court waited to rule on this case until after the last session of SCOTUS dockets was done. This ruling was as strategically timed as it was reasoned.
Ahh, but NY's pistol permit scheme IS an undue burden.
how is that going to help? I thought you needed to have anything you buy there shipped to an FFL, and FFLs in those states need to make sure you have all of the NY required bullshit (ie: semi-auto endorsement to buy lowers).
I have also been considering an AR-10 or, if I can find one, an AR-9mm for a lefty for the missus.
I still want to see a conservative state adopt the NY pistol permit process verbatim, but swap it for voter registration.
