What happens in NY and possibly the other Blue states if/when Supreme Court overturns the ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines?

The state will simply change the law so that possession/purchase of such things must depend on an endorsement on your CCW, just as what they did in 2022 with semi-auto rifles. Or you go through the same background check process.

On it's face one would think that Case Law settled outside of New York would hold sway, but it's not likely. Unless and until anti-gun Laws written in NY can be brought before SCOTUS, cases won in DC, CA, IL, etc. will be ignored by the State AG. The only hope and salvation for NY would be a complete replacement of the Legislature and Governor with Republican/Conservatives, ones with actual functional testicles and a spine to carry them....probably see the end of the World before that ever happens.

That a big "what if". You can be sure the current SCOTUS has no interest in taking a case that would do so. They have had numerous chances to grant cert on these issues and consistently refuse, much to the consternation of Justice Thomas.

"What if" can be summarily answered by the CCIA.
NYSRPA with a $2.5 Million Dollar infusion from the "does nothing for NY" NRA took NYS/NYC to SCOTUS and after the State LOST they enacted with an emergency message of necessity the Carry Concealed Improvement Act (which was already written in anticipation of losing in Court) and passed without Public commentary, input, or review.
For the life of me, I can't imagine the State losing at SCOTUS and not pulling the same shit again for Magazines and "Assault Weapons", hell, this time they'll include .50's and "Sniper Rifles".

Didn’t Bret Kavanaugh say they would take this up this coming term? I mean I’m not sure I believe it but that’s what they said. I think they were waiting for a few to work their way through the lower courts to create a split.
As for what the state can or will do will be based on how the Supreme Court rules and what is stated in that ruling.
However the Supreme Court has already stated and rules that permits and licenses is constitutional but can’t be overly burdensome or costly. So yes to the OP it will likely be that some sort of permit will be required for new purchases. To me that’s why it’s important to have one now so when the ruling comes down you can covert and then likely be grandfathered in.

I would most sincerely hope you're right, and that the Supreme Court will issue a proper decision in line with the Second Amendment and Bruen.

But sadly I think that some of the key Justices are more interested in perpetuating their social standing within the Swamp than they are doing the right thing.

First of all, it will not happen.
Second, "assault rifles" are not banned in NYS. You can go buy one today. Unless the court addresses the "features" aspect, this would do nothing for NYS.
The only cases ive seen before the courts are full out "assault weapon" bans, like in Illinois and.....ummm....Maryland???
Anyways, AR-15s, AK-47s....can all be purchased legally in NYS right now. Heck, Runnings has S&W M&P AR-15s right now for around $500.....or they did recently.
So if the SCOTUS says "assault weapons" cannot be banned, we stay the same. SCOTUS cases are generally very precise. They probably won't rule on the firearm and all the features in one case. First they rule on the gun, then other cases will need to go through years of bullshit to deal with the cosmetic features.
I may be wrong, but the cases ive seen only deal with the firearm.

Seems SCOTUS is waiting for an all-inclusive AWB/HCM case to fully go through the whole federal appeals process.

Anyone think Im wrong that NY will simply add an endorsement for AWs, HCMs to the existing license regime like what they did in 2022 with semi-autos?

I think they also may add a liability insurance requirement. Just to be annoying.

If James Madison came back in the flesh and told all of them to their face exactly what it means, they'd still find a way to bastardize it with mental gymnastics...the Cannot and Will Not, allow the Second Amendment to stand as "...Shall Not Be Infringed."
Tell me I'm wrong.

Not sure what it will mean for me, but I feel pretty certain that you still won’t own an AR patterned rifle of any type, no matter who tells you, shows you, demonstrates for you or hands you documentation stating that it is lawful.

Well in the hypothetical land where leprechauns riding unicorns go fishing for Nessie, in that case my wife would be big mad at me because I would have a hard time exercising self control with my credit card.

Luckily for me, I don't see that situation occuring.

Scotus needs to very clearly and plainly say any state/town/county/municipality that is making more restrictive gun rights than federal law are null and void. That's what needs to happen.

But it won't.

I don’t disagree there would be some sort of licensing scheme placed upon us by NYS. SCOTUS said licensing and permits are acceptable. What it would look like is anyone’s guess.

I thought this decision took care of that .
What was the most significant result of the ruling in Marbury v. Madison brainly?


It established judicial review as a key function of the judiciary, ensuring that no law or executive action could stand if it violated the Constitution, thereby maintaining the principle of checks and balances within the government.

My guess is that it turns into the wild west and we all die. Well isn't that what we are told?
The democrats will add new "laws" that will take 78 yrs. to overturn.

I got a joke card when I was like 12 from the store,

On one side it said "how to keep an idiot busy for hours, turn over to find out"
On the other (back) side it said "how to keep an idiot busy for hours, turn over to find out"

I used to give it to people to see how long it would take them to figure it out.

Why did SCOTUS ban ghost guns built at home? Why is the 2022 community safety act regarding FFL's and the end of private sales legal?

Why did SCOTUS turn down AW ban case, after AW ban case?
Pocket veto.

Legal in many states, States can restrict Aw's.......and do...........12 now.

SCOTUS is not a machine, that can be made to bow to your will.

It is made up of people who are scared shitless about BLM/ANTIFA/ HAMAS Greenies, arming up with cheap AR's at WaL Mart..................

It is simple survival of society.

Go to another of the 38 other states where you can buy one.
