well, we certainly dont need anymore federal gun laws...less would in fact result in a major federal gubnment cost savings, with no ill effect, except to add more people to the unemployment rolls...

however, as the second, ninth and tenth amendments indicate: the states retain their right to regulate internal affairs, so long as that regulation does not conflict with the constitution or its amendments...

so far, with rare exception, challenges at the federal level, to state gun control statutes have been rejected...

if new yorkers dont like their states laws, then let them appeal to their state courts for relief...as it is none of the feds bidness..

keep it simple and keep it safe...
