The City of New York clearly knows that its current restrictions on the carrying and transportation of lawfully owned firearms are unconstitutional and will fail under any standard of constitutional review, as the NRA has been saying for years. Today, it asked the U.S. Supreme Court to ignore the Constitution and allow the City to slow walk a narrow expansion of its current policy through a lengthy bureaucratic process -- the result of which, even if adopted, would still unduly infringe upon the fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. |

"We are confident that the Court will reject New York�s desperate attempt to avoid review of its blatantly unconstitutional laws." - Yeah? Well, I'm not.
Anti-gunners have pulled this off before, i.e. rendering a lawsuit moot by narrowly changing a law at the last minute. This is a national tactic, and obviously coordinated with a centralized strategy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. � James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
