NEW YORK — Matthew Seifer, a Long Island firearms safety instructor, is licensed by New York state to teach his students where they can legally carry their guns. It’s harder than it sounds.

 

The U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned century-old New York regulations, ruling that citizens had a broad right to carry concealed weapons. The state Legislature, anticipating more gun toting, then made certain areas off-limits to firearms, but that new law has already been challenged in court at least 10 times.

Only halfway amused, the other half is rather incensed at the conservative (right-wing) SCOTUS rulings supposing to be closer to the Constitutional intent of the framers. Ha! As if the framers in the historic time period anticipated the firearms, Computers, Travel, etc. of today, ... let alone the societal disfunction we are witnessing. Sorry guys, but as an Emeritus Professor of History, I call foul on the convoluted reasoning. We are currently moving, through the SCOTUS current rulings and the Republican state takeovers (yes, yes, a wise political move for them to hold on to their remnant of power) toward a citizenry which has "States' Rights" not American Rights uniting us as a society. While my crystal ball remains a bit cloudy (could be the "floaters"), based on my study of history, this is going to bite them on the butt in reaction to their over reaching being detrimental to the common good. Any one with political or historical knowledge knows how dangerous it is to take back (void) benefits popular with the majority of the voting citizens (of any country by the way).
