2ANYS's video: Suspend Pistol Permit and SAFE Act Enforcement Amid Riots 2ANYS 6 1 20

LEARN MORE AT 2ANYS.COM/COVID Civil Rights Advocates Call for Suspension of Pistol Permit and SAFE Act Enforcement Amid Widespread Rioting 2ANYS argues state gun control statutes unlawfully obstruct citizens’ defense against looting and assaults 2ANYS, New York State’s premier civilian rearmament enterprise securing maximal Second Amendment civil rights by, with, and through The People, responded today to the widespread political violence roiling the state and nation with a common sense solution: allow average citizens to access the firearms required to most effectively defend against assaults and looting by multiple assailants. “Given the extraordinary times in which we find ourselves with these riots progressing, we should simply suspend the ‘may issue’ portions of the pistol permitting system,” 2ANYS Founder Steve Felano said. “We should operate under the D.C. v. Heller 2008 Supreme Court decision, and what does that say? It says that the only way that you can preclude somebody from owning a firearm as a government official is if they’re a convicted felon and/or they’ve been involuntarily committed for mental health reasons. If they don’t check either of those boxes, they should be able to go into a gun store today, anywhere in New York State, and pass that background check. And if they do, buy the pistol or buy the rifle today, and be able to take that home without a permit...I would take things even further and say the SAFE Act, those provisions that stop citizens from accessing these critical weapons that are most effective for self-defense [standard capacity pistols and AR pattern rifles] should be suspended at least for the duration of these periods of civil unrest.” In addition to the immense harm decades of unconstitutional gun control have imposed on New Yorkers now attempting to defend themselves against multiple rioters and looters, civil rights advocates also spoke out against an anticipated move to force mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations on all New Yorkers. The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) publicized a Health Law Section report on May 28, 2020 calling for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination at the state and national levels. The report outlines a thin legal argument favoring forced COVID-19 vaccination relying on a 1905 U.S. Supreme Court case and New York State's 2019 repeal of the religious exemption for vaccinating school-attending children. In articulating a weak legal foundation for state and federal governments to compel citizens to accept a yet-to-be-developed COVID-19 vaccine, the NYSBA is ignoring a range of ethical and civil rights implications.
