Your right to defend yourself has been under attack by the Party of Jim Crow since before they declared the Confederacy and started the Civil War.
Their main goal was to keep the Negros from fighting back effectively against Slave Owners and post war, the Democrat Party Action Arm, the Klu Klux Klan. They have not wavered for more than a century in their goal.
The difference today is that after a century of Marxist take over, the subhumans are no longer just the descendants of freed slaves, native Americans, Asians, and European immigrants from places like Spain, Italy, etc. ( the browner folk from southern Europe ) Don't forget Catholics!
Today the Subhumans are anyone not of their Class. The Elites. The Ivy League. Religious Marxists. Add your own observation.
It's not that they are Less Racist, although the Left's Disinformation Campaign that everyone except them IS has convinced the ignorant, and the self righteous, to get more racist than before. The Klan Party just now considers every one who is Not Them as threats. To be disarmed, before they can be properly oppressed and ruled by their betters.
The End Goal of being the Elite, Ruling over the slave subjects, hasn't changed in centuries. Thus You Must be disarmed.
Yes, gun control laws are racist. By origin & intent.
The only difference is today the haters of rights for Negroes now hate rights for all their Enemies.
Unfortunately it's not because they are less racist, they just consider more people n-words. It's clear also in their policy to violate free speech rights by silencing their Inferiors. ( which is Everyone not Them )
I point out the Buffalo grocery store murderer left a manifesto that the Media and their Party Masters ignored and deleted.
But it's the internet, and it got copied before the bureaucracy could suppress it.
I skimmed it. It's pretty lousy. I might suggest it as a case study in abnormal psychology class, but "Leftism is a mental disorder" may be copyrighted, so I'll stop there.
The Important part isn't the racism, that's a given among the Left, though hotly in denial. It's that one Purpose of his murders is to take gun rights away. A false flag operation, basically.
Expect more mass murder terrorism to steal your rights in the future. Radicalized youth in the Death cults of Marxist and Islamic Ideology are being inflamed by the Old Safe Leaders in their cults. That hasn't changed since they were founded.
....and that's part of the reason the left's panties are bunched up over the recent 2A ruling - because they know full well that armed citizens will very likely put down any of these idiots, BEFORE they have a chance to commit mass murder In The Name Of The Party.
Which, by the way, I'm perfectly fine with. These cowards don't deserve jail, or a trial. The only way they deserve to leave the crime scene, is in a body bag.
Seems only fair to "leak" the home address of the AG & other bureaucrats in charge of their gun owner rights suppression agency. They are the Modern Klan, dedicated to keeping the uppity citizens down, after all.
The "defund the police" Party also produces the kind of police that deserve jail time. The fish rots from the head.
Duc, the Biden crime family is all about corruption. You didn't really think that "investigation" was going to go anywhere did you? I'd bet my left testi he skates on it.
respondents’ attempt to characterize New York’s proper-cause requirement as a “sensitive place” law lacks merit because there is no historical basis for New York to effectively declare the island of Manhattana “sensitive place” simply because it is crowded and protected generally by the New York City Police Department.
"Governor Larry Hogan ordered Tuesday that Maryland State Police suspend the 'good and substantial reason' to wear and carry a gun."
I don't feel AS special anymore (I've been carrying 3+ years now, because I have the 'good and substantial reason' being a business owner)...but I'm glad there will be more of us good citizens armed and ready to stop asshats like that idiot in Chicago yesterday.
Ever notice how they always pick on the places - and people - that can't fight back? Hmmm....interesting....
Unelected Governor Kathy ( inherited position from Disgraced Former Governor Cuomo ) has proposed a new gun rights violations law that requires proof of Moral Compliance and examination of Antisocial Media presence. Also makes all private property a gun free zone, unless the owner posts his defiance of her and support constitutional rights. Unless his property is also on their ( ever changing ) list of public spaces where your rights are void.
And makes carrying a concealed weapon ( the only kind allowed in New York except for Government Agents ) in an unmarked forbidden zone a Class E Felony.
Which reminds me of the Rockefeller Drug Law Disaster from when I was in High school. Possession of a certain amount of certain drugs became more harshly punished than simple murder. I was in a law class at the time, and our group of high school students immediately predicted a Serious Problem. ( admittedly smart enough to get into the "school without walls" program ) ( also known as the Get these smarta$$ kids out of my class so they quit asking questions I can't answer, program )
Our prediction was "IF the penalty for an ounce of heroin is the same as murdering a cop, THEN criminals had incentive to shoot cops to escape arrest. After all, surrender is certain jail time. But if you murder the cop, you might get away totally free, and if you fail, there's no downside."
The year after the law went into effect, the number of cops killed, doubled.
It's not a perfect comparison, normally law abiding citizens don't generally have the lack of Morals typical of drug dealers.
But if carrying a gun in the park ( a location in many big cities where the odds of rape and robbery are high ) has the same penalty if you have a permit or not?
Then why spend the time, money, and effort to get a permit, if It's only effect is to put you on a list that ( in real life, daily, NOW ) makes a cop pulling you over really nervous, or potentially, in the near future, invites a 3am. Armed invasion by masked, hostile, and frightened thugs. ( if you were a cop ordered to raid a home to take guns away from someone you KNOW is armed, you should be nervous )
As I said, it's different than the stupid drug law example.
No permit means you won't practice at the range. ( where a passing police officer may ask you for your papers ) You can't buy a new pistol from a reputable dealer. You also are deliberately choosing to commit a criminal act. ( agree with law or not )
While in the stupid drug law case, the perpetrator has already chosen to be a criminal. It's not a fine line, it's a leap over a chasm.

I'm not familiar with the intricacies of NY law...but here in MD, there is one permit to purchase/own handguns (HQL, or Handgun Qualification License), and another on top of that to carry (Wear And Carry Permit). I'd think unless Hocul has voided all purchase permits (not outside the realm of possibility, given her holier-than-thou attitude about...everything), an OWNER could still go to the range; practice; protect their private property; etc.
Just not carry it in public, where actual criminals live and take action against law-abiding innocent citizens.
I've also noted that most cops here in MD share OUR views. When my carry permit had restrictions on it ("good and substantial reason" clause requiring/permitting carry only while conducting company business, now removed from MD law thanks to SCOTUS), I had troopers tell me "sound company? Keep a broken speaker in your car. You're working. Taking gear to get repaired." Also advised that any meal out was a "business networking meeting".
Similar to the old meme "if you keep a bat in your car, also keep a glove and a ball - your lawyer will thank you!".
In NY, as of last week, there's one permit required to purchase, but it can list carry or home & range only. Technically 2? And you can apply to convert/upgrade to carry from just home & range.
Granting the permit is utterly dependent on the whim of your County Sheriff.
I'm a few hundred yards from the County line. In my country it's usually over a year wait and rather restricted. Average depending on year. Just south of me, it's an average 6 months and fairly easy.
I have noticed that police pay attention to county of issue. In a "If you got a permit in ( hard to get ) county, you must be ok, or connected" way.
They also issue traffic tickets to outsiders ( plates issued in different counties ) more. Less chance of having to go to court. ( practical, if sometimes annoying ) That's probably SOP world wide.
I don't recommend not getting all the appropriate paperwork and going outlaw. Not just because it's stupid to advocate law breaking.
The supreme court says that certain sensitive areas can be declared as places off limits for concealed carry. Governor Hochul has declared the state of New York as a sensitive area. Put your guns away gentlemen, everyplace is off limits.
Actually the quote directly from the Decision is in one of my posts above:

If everybody carries, There will be weapons and spare ammo all around me. Now, if you are the "one weapon only" carrier that never trains on another weapon, shame on ya. I want to be able to pick up any weapon on the grey man's battle field and use it. If I have to cross Indy on foot to get home, I need an empty bag to carry what I find. Because I will not be carrying enough from the start. Sure most confrontations end in no shots fired, and that is a win in that battle, but the war is protracted. I hope to make it through life without ever needing to fire another round. However, I'll train like I can't draw from the armory without a certified card. Yous do yous and I'll do me. You shoot a Gxxxk only? Thanks. I can shoot a Gxxxk (and well). What you gonna do with my Para Ordnance Carry 12 (what da)...... Or, how'd he un- that loaded hammerless coach gun? Why does he have a magazine when he is carrying a revolver? #2 rule; don't stop learning.
#3 rule: PRACTICE. Be hard on yourself. Michelle and I were at the range last weekend. I have 3" reactive stick-on targets I use. She was mad at herself because so many of her shots were "outside" the stickers at 10 yards.
I had her shoot a torso target at the same distance. She felt much better. I reminder her "the 8 ring is YUGE compared to my stickers; I practice on them because I want to keep as focused as possible, for public carry".
I had a couple flyers (3" hellcat, 124gr JHP, 10 yards, mag-dump speeds) but overall still within a 5" circle. Plenty accurate for a bad-guy-center-mass shot if needed. Using the laser keeps my rhythm on track, and I put the whole mag in the sticker, no problem.
Rat, You already know, "Aim small, miss small". Nice to give her perspective. I'd hate it if she didn't shoot when needed because she was worried about missing the X by 3 inches.
