Maybe to her it’s a matter of "We live in the free country of New York and do not live in the United States of America.

Wasn’t it a woman? (or did I misread)
Either way, this person should be removed and permanently disbarred.

Yup, you’re right. I’ve corrected it.

Yeah poor choice of words. Like someone else said here, her thought process was most likely along the lines that the defendant’s second amendment right isn’t being challenged, as much as the state laws he broke by doing this.

The constituion supersedes state laws.

Right, when they conflict. But there are laws against ghost guns in New York that this person allegedly broke, which is why this is happening.
Just because there are laws against ghost guns doesn’t mean your right to own a gun is being infringed upon. This has been proven.
There’s a difference between “manufacture” and “keep and bear”.

Paying close attention to the details of the case will be lost on the people this is meant to engage. “A judge said my rights don’t matter!” Sigh…

That is an infringment on firearms. There are to no restrictions. Private ciztens bought canons. American citizens are free to manufacture and sell ghost guns.
