New York Suspends Pistol Permitting, Shuts Down Remington in Response to COVID-19

[Steal2B]

"States across the country have swiftly adopted draconian measures to slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, including an indefinite suspension of their citizens’ Second Amendment rights.

New York has taken some of the most extreme measures. According to a phone survey of all 62 New York counties conducted by 2ANYS, a full 84 percent of counties (52) have suspended or ignored their duty to continue processing pistol permits.



New York also forced the closure of Remington Arms in Ilion, NY, until April 30 because the factory was deemed “non-essential.”

According to Herkimer County Legislature Chairman Vincent J. Bono, Remington Arms payroll makes up about a sixth of the county’s total economy. The closure “will be devastating to the families of those workers,” he told the Observer-Dispatch.

State or nationally.

"Cuomo for president!" ......

 

[96coal449]

Not that I really think this is fuckin funny. I was finally going to allow myself to register one.

Upstate Counties need to make it known that Andrew Cuomo is no longer welcome in their County.
Maybe if enough Upstate Counties file lawsuits or threaten him with arrest he'll get the point?

 

[GOPerfect]

Nearly all offices are closed in the Counties.

This is nothing more than sensational news.

Police department personal are shrunk down, they are the people that handle the background checks. The workforce shut down has effected nearly all branches of local governments.

Most PD's have taken on extra duties, this, argue if you want, is not really essential.

What would be great, won't happen, if when this is over, the process is streamlined.....

The scumbag is using this as a photo op.

 

[96coal449]

It's time we go back to the organic constitution.

BTW where did NY's constitutional 2ndA disapear to?

Oh that's right. Both clucky Chucky and pannzy Andy feel no constitutional amendment is absolute.

I forget nothing!!!

You mean the same counties where people couldn't get off their ass and vote for anyone but Cuomo? BTW I am referring to the FUDDS.

This photo could be for anything. I looked, I see no specific order signed by him in regards to permits.

It is an overall shut down of government jobs.

I think all this shut down is unwarranted, but it is, an overall thing.

What would be great, is if someone sued that, because of NYS permit scheme they were denied their 2A rights because the state couldn't process applications during an emergency. That, this in and of itself, creates a burdensome factor when people ought not be reliant on the state to be able to exercise core rights especially during an emergency. Denied not only because of an already arduous process, but because of an event causing state shut downs. A time when people would arguably need the ability to defend themselves.

So when the government suspends the Constitution, isn't that sort of like declaring anarchy where no laws apply?

This!

For the record, I’m against permitting. Despite that, why would any sheriff’s office start taking in new applicants to come in for interviews and fingerprinting leading to exposure?

We are doing the same thing as the Dems deliberately grabbing one piece of the story and going with it for propaganda purposes.

 

[96coal449]

I keep saying there is a bigger picture here.

Cuomo is more concerened with anti gun policies than the "virus."

Meanwhile the economy is collapsing with Martial La ......I mean shelter in place being imposed.

Just got word CT is keeping public schools shut down till fall. I'll bet NY and MA will soon follow.

6-8 month quarantine.

I understand why but dont like the inconsistency. I believe liquor stores are still open

@GOPerfect's posts above x1000.

Sensationalism cuts both ways.

Agreed it's the process that is bullshit right now. At the end of the day though, PD does have bigger problems. We can resume this fight for a better process once we have things under control, or we have a sane way for offices to operate.

Yup, because we all know that liquor shops are an essential

 

[Catskillkid]

Only reason they're open is because they're worried the alcoholics will have withdrawals and need to go to the hospital and therefore put more burden on the medical system. As someone who rarely drinks I personally do not view liquor stores as essential but this is their reasoning. Personally, I believe FFLs should have been given the option of remaining open like they are in Illinois. Even if they can't proceed with pistol sales they could still sell long guns and ammo (not that there was much of either of those left on store shelves last week before the shut down).

 

[nortatoga]

Most of this was already shut down last week on the county level, I know it was in Saratoga County and a few other nearby Counties'

CT school are not officially closed yet, said likely to be.

IMO, they should not make long term decisions, just add a week or two at a time and continue to monitor.

Ok, I'll agree to most of that but can you explain why Remington is not essential but liquor store are?

One is a factory and one is considered food/beverage store.
