Well, a Notice of Claim  NYSRPA, WCFOA, SAFE and AR15.com

http://www.nysrpa.org/files/SAFENoticeOfClaim.pdf

Let's neuter this piece of shit law!

If we can get this struck down in NY, the rest of the country will be safe(r)

THE NEW YORK STATE RIFLE & PISTOL
ASSOCIATION, WESTCHESTER COUNTY
FIREARMS OWNERS ASSOCIATION,
SPORTSMEN’S ASSOCIATION FOR FIREARMS
EDUCATION, INC., and AR15.COM LLC,
Plaintiffs,

-against-                                         NOTICE OF CLAIM

THE STATE OF NEW YORK


II. NATURE OF CLAIM(S)
Plaintiffs claim that passage and enforcement of the aforementioned legislation:
A. violates their fundamental constitutional rights to lawfully possess, keep, bear and
use firearms for self-defense and other lawful purposes;
B. violates their constitutional rights to privacy;
C. impermissibly interferes with and infringes upon their fundamental constitutional
rights to travel both intra-state and inter-state with lawfully possessed firearms;
D. unconstitutionally criminalizes and bans the possession of certain firearms,
ammunition and large capacity feeding devices that were legally possessed prior by plaintiffs prior
to the legislation’s passage and enforcement, and in which the plaintiff’s had a cognizable property
3interest. The outright criminalization and ban of these firearms, ammunition and large capacity
feeding devices amounts to a deprivation and taking of them by the State of New York under color
of law and without due process or just compensation. As such, passage and enforcement of the NY
SAFE Act effectuates an unconstitutional taking of private property under the Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendments to the U.S. Constitution;
E. unlawfully and unconstitutionally imposes restrictions on the ability of the plaintiffs
to conduct business on both inter-state and intra-state levels with the designers of, manufacturers of,
sellers of, distributors of, and purchasers of certain firearms, ammunition, and large capacity
feeding devices, all in violation of the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution;
F. deprives the plaintiffs of life, liberty and/or property without due process of law, in
violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution;
G. deprives the plaintiffs of the equal protection of the laws, in violation of the
Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution;
H. was passed and is being continuously enforced with the ongoing tortious intent to
harass, harm, impede, interfere with, disrupt, interrupt, and/or destroy the present and future
business and commercial activities of those plaintiffs who engage in the design of, manufacture of,
distribution of, sale of, possession of, and/or training in the safe and lawful use of firearms,
ammunition, and/or large capacity feeding devices; and
I. the legislation is impermissibly vague and overbroad.
III. ITEMS OF DAMAGE / INJURIES SUSTAINED
A. Violation of rights guaranteed to the plaintiffs by the U.S. Constitution and the New
York Sate Constitution.
B. Deprivation of property rights and property values.
4
C. Interference with business relations, business activities, and business contracts
relating to the design of, manufacture of, distribution of, sale of, possession of, and/or training in
the safe and lawful firearms, ammunition, and/or large capacity feeding devices.
IV. AMOUNT OF DAMAGES TO WHICH PLAINTIFFS ARE ENTITLED
Plaintiffs are not seeking monetary damages. Plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief against
the ongoing enforcement of the NYS SAFE Act, and declaratory relief the NYS SAFE Act is
unconstitutional.



Edited to add the following -- GB
Ok guys I have approval for this. If you would like to help, and please do not sacrifice during these troubled times if you are unable to do so, you can send a donation for the legal OFFENSE fund to the url below. The NYSRPA is handling the donations. For those who are wondering, the NRA is fully involved with this as well. If you want to show your support, we will ask for people to rally at different points in time to show our strength as a community. You can also donate to the NRA, get an NRA membership, and if you so desire upgrade here as well. The donation page we setup on the store is for other causes, not the legal battle to be fought.

Please understand that this is tough time in NY and that we will do whatever we can to fight for our rights and make an example, but we must do this as a united front.


Donations page: NYSRPA Donation Page

You can enter ARFCOM or LDF in the NYSRPA member # field.

Thanks for your support and we will keep you posted as much as we are allowed!

In on one!

Let's hope we win this one. If we do it could be grounds for over turning whatever unconstitutional overreaching bullshit comes down from DC.

Can we get this stickied for future updates?

I don't want to be debbie downer here, and this is a specialized boutique area of the law I have been away from for a decade, but how does arfcom have Legal Standing?  You can't claim you are not seeking monetary damages then seek to invoke commerce clause and talk about loss to property values and loss of benefit to commercial activities.  

 
I think there is a motion for summary judgment coming that arfcom has to get past before there can be any reason to celebrate.  Get past MSJ then let's have a beer.  Until then, it's all wori, no play.
