New York City’s Transport Ban Fails All Heightened Scrutiny The Liberal Gun Club Issues an Amicus Brief in favor of the Plaintiff
Newton, MA, 05/14/2019-
Today The Liberal Gun Club issued an Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court in support of the petitioners in the case of new York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc., v. The City of New York and the New York City Police Department- License Division, which challenges a law that unconstitutionally restricts when and where New York City residents can transport their firearms. New York City’s transport ban fails all heightened scrutiny and substantially burdens the lawful conduct of citizens.

As has been found in a recent case regarding safe and legal abortions, laws that restrict the rights of citizens must be narrowly tailored to be the least intrusive means of serving the governments interest. In the current case before the court the law has been used as a bludgeon rather than as a scalpel, resulting in the inability of NYC Citizens to transport their firearms in any manner, whether it be to their second home or training class, putting them at unnecessary risk and unable to gain levels of proficiency that all other states, including those that have heavy regulation, are available to them.
This law also prevents the citizens of New York City from carrying their firearm in the other 38 states that they could otherwise carry in, if not for this law, applying their laws nationally, regardless of local regulations.
In addition, although it’s not found in the brief, this law misses addressing the root causes of violence by a mile. Rather than working on the real issues behind violence such as toxic masculinity, the generational oppression of minorities, and a lack of universal healthcare, including mental health care, this law is used as a way to substantially impact those gun owners who abide by the law.
The Liberal Gun Club is a 501 (c)4 non-profit entity, dedicated to firearms training and 2nd amendment advocacy for non-traditional gun owners. They have firearm instructors and members nationally, including in New York City. The Club is proud to support the efforts of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association to ensure that every single civil right is protected for every single person.

5Good!!!

6I get "all heightened scrutiny" as used in the title and brief, but what is "all heightened security" in this context? I am not a lawyer.BlogBot wrote:New York City’s transport ban fails all heightened security and substantially burdens the lawful conduct of citizens.

When it comes to reviewing whether a government action (often a law or a regulation) violates the Constitution, a court first chooses a Level of Scrutiny.
https://www.subscriptlaw.com/blog/levels-of-scrutinyThe court must determine whether it will be skeptical of government action, or be less nit-picky. That depends on the sensitivity of the issue. Certain liberties are more highly protected than others. Certain classes of people are more highly protected than others. These factors raise suspicion.
The court will evaluate various factors that are likely to raise suspicion to determine the level of scrutiny.

11I'm pretty sure this won't show up on that California gun board that has banned me twice. Unless someone posts it.
