70 New York state signed into law sweeping legislation Friday afternoon that bans concealed weapons from “sensitive locations” and requires gun permit applicants to divulge all social media accounts maintained over the past three years as well as references attesting to their “good moral character" (nypost.com) posted 1 year ago by xleb2 1 year ago by xleb2 +70 / -0 49 comments share 49 comments share save hide report block hide replies
To clarify, the special locations the NY bill bans guns from are:
I'm reminded of that line from The Incredibles - when everywhere is "special", nowhere is...
California is working on a bill that does much the same.
The Bruen opinion specifically called out behavior just like this. CA and NY are going to get buried under a veritable blizzard of lawsuits.
But unless the litigants can secure immediate injunctions, those suits could take months or years to work through the courts, and in the meantime the state governments get to collect all sorts of personal data on prospective gun owners.
And then 'accidentally' leak said data when it suits them.
