Comment on NYC Man Convicted Over Gunsmithing Hobby After Judge Says 2nd Amendment 'Doesn't Exist in This Courtroom'

  Allowed at the federal level yes, but state regs differ, and NYS gun law covers the 80% kits (S.14, S.13A).

  I certainly wouldn’t pedal New York gun law as the ideal but AFAIK it’s not inconsistent re: unfinished kits vs traditional firearms.

    Federal law overrides state law. www.law.cornell.edu/wex/supremacy_clause

    The 2nd still applies in NYC

      I don’t remember much con law, but I seem to recall using 7a to incorporate 2a is very much a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t prospect, and justices have historically leaned on stare decisis to avoid cutting the knot.

  It also says taxes and an ATF payment are needed.

  Did the subject of the post’s article do that?

    Only if they plan to sell it, or if they are making an NFA item.

      No that’s a separate clause. You’re misreading.
