ALBANY — State Attorney General Letitia James predicted in a legal brief filed Monday that New York could become mired in “regulatory chaos” if a federal court decision knocking out key sections of a new gun control law isn’t challenged.
James, responding to last week’s bombshell ruling by U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby, filed a motion aimed at keeping the Concealed Carry Improvement Act in effect.
Suddaby’s order found fault with the legislation’s ban on the carrying of firearms into “sensitive areas,” including parks, libraries, Times Square, zoos, playgrounds and public transit systems. “As the data confirm, more guns carried in more places by more people result in more crime, violence, and homicide,” James’ office argued.
King told CNHI his group’s challenge is “even more comprehensive” than the litigation advanced by Gun Owners of America. He said while the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals will likely side with the state against gun rights advocates, the matter will eventually once again go to the U.S. Supreme Court, which on May 23 declared New York’s earlier concealed carry rules unconstitutional.
In striking down major sections of the new law, Suddaby branded it “an unconstitutional statute,” finding it amounted to “a wish list of exercise-inhibiting restrictions glued together by a severability clause.” Over the weekend, two men were shot just outside Zeldin’s home while the house was occupied by his two teenage daughters. They escaped injury.
