SAF Sues New York Over 'SAFE Act' Magazine Limits

This. They can pass far more laws than you can challenge and overturn. All these cases are pointless.

Tell that to the people in Chicago who now legally own handguns and will be able to legally carry them along with the rest of Illinois by next year at the latest.

Moot. They'll pass more laws to replace this temporary reprieve.

As NY and CT have shown states don't give a rat's ass about Heller or McDonald.

That's why they need to be sued and to recoup court and lawyer fees through the courts. Make the States pay for being arrogant.

Did you miss that they passed a shall issue concealed carry law that also preempted all Chicago handgun regulations because the courts forced them to?

If they pass and enforce a new law after the old one is struck down as unconstitutional, it's possible to pierce qualified immunity and hold the state actors *personally* responsible.

I agree that NY and CT are blatantly flouting the precedents set in Heller and McDonald. The cases to put a stop to it are working their way up the court system. Courts move slowly, and it doesn't help that every court other than the 7th circuit are in a full on anti-2A revolt, so it'll take more SCOTUS cases to slap them down. It's possible than one of the Heller 5 is squishy or will leave the court before this is all resolved, in which case I agree that we'd be screwed. That's the thing to be pessemistic about. If SCOTUS continues to follow the course started by Heller and McDonald then winning these challenges permanently forecloses the each regulation we get struck down.
