The National Rifle Association on Thursday joined the the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, other sportsmen's groups, firearms businesses and individual gun owners in a lawsuit challenging the state's strict new gun control law.
The federal suit, filed in Buffalo, said the law violates the constitutional rights of "law-abiding citizens to keep commonly possessed firearms in the home for defense of self and family and for other lawful purposes."
In announcing the NRA's support for the lawsuit, Chris Cox, executive director of NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo "usurped the legislative and democratic process" in passing the measures without sufficient input from the public.
“Despite the wishes of Governor Cuomo, law-abiding citizens have a fundamental right to keep commonly possessed firearms for defense of themselves and their families and for other lawful purposes including the enjoyment of New York’s rich hunting and sporting heritage,” Cox said in a news release.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution recognizes the unalienable right of the human being to defend himself by any means necessary. It is a right granted by God, not by government. It cannot be taken away, limited, or qualified in any way by any government... federal, state, local, or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteIt does not limit who one may defend oneself against. It does not limit what arms may be used in defense of oneself or others. It does not limit the locations where one may defend oneself. It does not limit the time of day when one may defend oneself. It does not say that "reasonable" limitations may be placed on the right of the law abiding citizen to keep and bear arms.
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Throw out your fears, biases and predjudices then read that again..

It isn't difficult at all to understand The Second Amendment.
It IS difficult to understand any law abiding person or group of people who would allow ANYONE to put restrictions on any of their God given rights. Periiod.

DeleteWell said and a Natural Right.
Thank you, Brock. Yes, a Natural Right.
DeleteThe Second was written as it was specifically to prevent government from attempting to deny, limit, restrict, or regulate the right of The People to keep and bear arms.
