It works. It works all over the world. It isnt bull**** in any way.
Yeah you are misunderstanding the issue. Nobody is asking for anything more than being able to transport firearms for those same reasons.
If a Scandinavian country had a law that said you can only transport a firearm to a firing range in a village with no firing ranges but not the firing range 5km away, would you deem that as a reasonable implementation.
I don’t think any of us have reviewed the actual law or decision enough to get into the details. I am basing it solely on what was presented here.
Also the reason why it states this is a unique NYC issue is most other states they don’t have arbitrary geographical limits within the state where you can transport it, properly for licensed use.
Essentially it seems it would simply put them in line with the rest of the country and world which allow gun ownership and secure transportation to locations appropriate for use.
As far as I know NYC already has more restrictive ownership laws than many parts of the US. The law as written is ham handed and simply needs to be rewritten. A cynic might argue the seven shooting ranges who are on the acceptable list played a significant role in getting the legislation written like it was.
