U.S. Supreme Court declines to block New York gun restrictionsThe U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday turned away a challenge by a group of firearms dealers in New York to numerous Democratic-backed measures adopted by the state last year regulating gun purchases that the businesses said hurt their businesses. Purposeful misrepresentation of the story. This is why you are fake news. It was procedural until it goes through lower courts. You purposely wrote a misleading headline to push an agenda. Nooooo!!! Good. More restrictions the better.

Supreme Court turns down request from New York firearms dealers to block new gun lawThe order comes days after the Supreme Court allowed New York's new gun restrictions to remain in place. Apparently blue states are so irredeemably violent that no New York citizen can be trusted with their Second Amendment rights. 🤣 No more guns in New York? That’ll be the day. I’ve seen movies. This Supreme Court is best we’ve had in decades. Hard to predict what they will do on almost any issue. Seems they are following the law.

Supreme Court again declines to block New York gun restrictionsThe justices last week rejected a separate bid by members of a gun rights group to block much of New York’s recent concealed carry law. Justice Samuel Alito said that decision did not express a view on the merits of the case. They won't touch this with a 10 foot pole. Sell the business. If you know the laws, and don’t like them, go elsewhere. Wow a court that believes in America
