New York hasn't even passed proposed amendments to the city's gun restrictions, but the proposal is already facing legal scrutiny.

New York City residents who want to own a gun may soon be denied permits if they are litterbugs, if they are bad drivers, or if they have fallen behind on a few bills.

Under proposed revisions to the police department's handgun, rifle and shotgun permit procedures, the NYPD can reject gun license applicants for a number of reasons, including:

What is the matter with that city?!

 

[PATRON]

So most of the politcians and police will not be able to get permits.

If they have been arrested or convicted of almost any "violation," in any state; having a "poor driving history"; having been fired for "circumstances that demonstrate lack of good judgment"; having "failed to pay legally required debts"; being deemed to lack "good moral character"; or if any other information demonstrates "other good cause for the denial of the permit."

At least they have some guidelines.

In Ma, chiefs can refuse you "Because I want to".

Wouldn't it be great if a bad driving record or being bad with money meant that you couldn't drive or get a credit card?

The difference being, this is their attempt to comply with the SCOTUS rulings, while the Mass. courts have stated that they feel SCOTUS rulings are suggestions made by a cute toddler.

I am sure Mass judges will use their judicial discretion and prudence to "interpret" the Heller and McDonald cases to basically mean that no restriction whatsoever violates the 2nd amendment. Anything short of a complete and total outright ban will be a reasonable restriction. Because, remember, that these cases dealt with the total ban in Chicago. The details have not yet been worked out.

Of course, thats why God made the appellate process...

FIFY. Socialism has nothing to do with gun control - there are plenty of anti-gun capitalists out there too.
