Can't have it both ways.
Of course they can have it both ways, that's the luxury of being shielded from reality and filled with ignorance.

But hey, let's do it for the kids right? We all know the lives of those 20 children in CT are worth a lot more than the lives of any child that might die due to these new NY gun limitations. We know that if someone shot up a school tomorrow using 2 6 shot revolvers you would again hear ignorant liberals using it as an excuse for more assault weapons bans.

I know bob, it's hard to look down your nose at those filthy rural people and see them as equals but they indeed do/should have the same rights you do to defend themselves against evil people.
They had one vote/person, as do I. 50% plus 1 is the basis in a representative democracy. If you live where you have, for example, 2% of the vote, it is prudent to build coalitions. We do not base representation on geographical miles; land has no vote.

DISHONESTY ALERT.

New York already had a 10 round limit.
Just think of the children man, just think of the children.

None of that matters when you're dealing with an enumerated right which is specifically protected by the COTUS and has been ruled on by the SCOTUS.

And that is a problem. Solved by the electoral college, as just one example.

SCOTUS also reiterated the states' rights to regulate it. (must be another accidental ommission)

Until and unless a SC court says otherwise, this legislation is the law within the state of NY.

I'm sure we'll find out sooner than later, maybe we should hire some additional security to protect the conservative members of the SCOTUS. There are some rabid lefties out there who are drooling at the idea of Obama changing the supreme court leaning.

Then why are you deliberately getting them killed with your inane Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995?

Spare us your tripe, nobody is buying that you have children's interests in mind while you continue to advocate their slaughter.
