Defying Bruen!
In New York state, all gun and ammunition retail sales must now go through an NYS background check.
In most other states, FBI NICS system checks are instant and done at no charge, but New York's Democrat governor insists that all background checks in New York instead go through the New York State Police System, and there is a $9 charge for each transaction and a $2.50 charge for each ammunition purchase.
In New York, you must now pay a fee to exercise your constitutional rights, which can be arbitrarily doubled or tripled at will.
In addition, New York's State Police System (unlike NICS) has a bad habit of regularly crashing and curiously staying offline for extended periods. During this time, you can't purchase guns or ammunition at all.
"We apologize for any inconvenience!"
Most onerous of all is New York's "EXC § 24":
"Suspension or limitation of the sale, dispensing, use, or transportation of alcoholic beverages, firearms (presumptively ammunition too), explosives, and flammable materials and liquids."
The U.S. Supreme Court's June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen recognized law-abiding citizens' right to carry a handgun in public for self-defense. Yet with no more than a casual wave of her hand, New York's governor can now stop you from buying guns, ammunition, and fuel for an indefinite period, and we all know what happens when the government "temporarily" suspends our constitutional rights as citizens.
Kind of like a "temporary tax!"
New Mexico's Democrat governor has already shown us the way "temporary" works.
New York's governor now has the power, at any moment, to precipitously prevent residents from defending themselves from violent criminals and also prevent them from traveling anywhere indefinitely.
Of course, none of the foregoing restrictions ever apply to politicians or their taxpayer-funded security staff.
Is any of the foregoing "Constitutional?" Of course not, but Marxists (masquerading as Democrats) obviously don't care!
Like all Marxists, they're interested only in consolidating absolute political power and elaborately protecting themselves. We see Russian President Vladimir Putin currently doing the same thing and for the same reasons.
Conversely, we citizens are (also obviously) altogether expendable, our personal safety (even our lives) utterly unimportant.
To them, "ordinary" citizens represent little more than replaceable livestock and are conspicuously treated as such, as we see.
Welcome to modern Marxism, brought to you by the DNC.
