I will never understand why the pro 2A team never went after the permit requirement to even own in your own home. They could have went after the permit requirement to own a pistol in NY state or the requirement to have a permit for all types of guns in NYC. The permit requirement itself, the process, the cost, the extra steps, the references, all unconstitutional if someone can pass a NICS check at the gun store. They have turned a right into a privilege in NYC.
The reason why NYC is so anti gun is because most of the residents never experienced the freedom to own firearms like the majority of the country. Once that nut is cracked and people experience freedom, Democrats would have a harder time winning elections on the 2A issue.
It is because no right is absolute. Some type of regulation is allowable to control negative aspects of the right. The permit is seen as a type of regulation that helps control negative aspects and is seen as acceptable as long as the requirements of the permit remain reasonable.
