Can confirm the judge said in Court "Do not bring the 2nd Amendment into this court room. There is no 2nd Amendment here. This is Nw York" (paraphrasing from what was told to me).… pic.twitter.com/h0lUoZr1IB
I obliquely referenced this case in an earlier post where I asserted that the judge should have been, and should be, removed from the bench for stating that the second doesn't apply in NY state.
NYS has been a rogue state for a long time. It was a failure of the Trump administration to not send the DOJ into NYC when they declared themselves a sanctuary city and started providing illegal aliens with IDs and other things. Fed law explicitly prohibits the harboring and providing services to illegal aliens and/or inducing them to stay. The govt of NY blatantly violated the law and because multiple people were involved (city council) they should have been prosecuted with RICO enhancements. Exactly what Dems are doing to Trump in Georgia.
Let the mayor and city council members make their immunity claims from a jail cell.
NYC further disgraced itself with the medical segregation it imposed with nary a peep from the civil rights organizations and those who like to talk about who they marched with. It was surreal to walk along Queens Blvd and seeing signs in the door harking back to "Whites only" while seeing a smattering of folks sitting inside. Or being stopped at the entrance to a casino by a black person no less, on some show me your papers shit.
Same people who have been saying that no person is illegal, walls don't work, etc. Like I said in my last post, they really don't mean it.
But back to Dexter. Dexter ordered gun parts online using his bank/credit card info. Had those delivered directly to his place of residence rather than an out of state address (wink...wink) and bringing it home. He then assembled these firearms for his own personal entertainment. As far as I know, those arms never left his apartment. I don't even know if they had been fired. They were not sold, nor advertised for sale. None of them were used in the commission of any crime.
The state of NY decided to raid his home because he had an "unlicensed firearm". There is nothing in the constitution that says that you only have the right to bear "licensed" arms. I have said this before and I'll say it again, SCOTUS erred in a major fashion when it completely made up this "state interest" excuse to infringe on the right to bear arms. It is a loophole large enough for an elephant standing on a T-Rex could get through. In essence Dexter was convicted of a crime against the state, not the people.
NYC said they got "guns off the streets". These guns were never "on the streets ".
NYS acted all indignant because he had 'an arsenal".
And?
2A doesn't say the right to have a single arm. it says the right to bear Arms. Plural.
We the people can own as many arms (fire or otherwise) as we please.
This is why I have become a 2A absolutist. The scales have fallen from my eyes.
NYS has become a rogue state. James got into office by promising to abuse the office. She is carrying out that promise and clearly has other accomplices. But before we lay too much blame on James et al, we need to hold the voters in NYC (who drive these elections) for this. Clearly Dexter's neighbors are good with the conviction, they handed it down.
