NY governor signs law raising age to own semiautomatic rifle

It will be illuminating to see how many of these laws survive a US Supreme Court challenge... if they go to the US Supreme Court instead of the New York State Supreme Court. But either way, I imagine the fact the laws are now onthe books will accelerate the exodus to red states. The 2030 census is going to be a doozy.

Already tried this law in California. Ruled unconstitutional
[AlAhram] New Yorkers under age 21 will be prohibited from buying semiautomatic rifles under a new law signed Monday by Gov. Kathy Hochul, making the state one of the first to enact a major gun control initiative following a wave of deadly mass shootings.
Hochul, a Democrat, signed 10 gun-related bills, including one that will require microstamping in new firearms, which could help law enforcement solve gun-related crimes.

Another revised the state's ``red flag'' law, which allows courts to temporarily take away guns from people who might be a threat to themselves or others.

``In New York, we are taking bold, strong action. We're tightening red flag laws to keep guns away from dangerous people,'' Hochul said at a presser in the Bronx.

Among the bills signed was also one that will restrict sales on body vests and armor to civilians.

New York's Legislature passed the bills last week, pushing the changes through after a pair of mass shootings involving 18-year-old button men using semiautomatic rifles.

Ten Black people died in a racist attack on a Buffalo supermarket May 14. A Texas school shooting took the lives of 19 children and two teachers 10 days later.

The governor said New York will continue to invest in prevention of gun-related crimes by partnering with local communities and continuing to strengthen laws by putting pressure on Congress.

``Today is the start, and it's not the end,'' said Hochul. ``Thoughts and prayers won't fix this, but taking strong action will. We will do that in the name of the lives that have been lost, for the parents who will no longer see their children stepping off the school bus.''

#1 10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Since when can states trump federal law?

THE SUPREMACY CLAUSE Article. VI. This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

#2 2020 census seems to have ‘mistakenly’ kept a lot of the exodus to red states in blue states for governmental purposes-like Congressional representation. 2030 will do the same without major changes in the deep state.

#3 I remember how pissed off I was about the government drafting 18-year-old young men to fight in Vietnam who were not allowed to vote. They were not allowed any say in the matter whatsoever, only ordered into war ostensibly to fight for democracy in spite of the fact they were not allowed to participate in said democracy.

Now 18-year-olds can vote but they can't have a gun unless they enlist in the military and they can't drink beer (legally) even if they enlist.

To me, this indicates very shaky hands on the reins of power in this country.
