New York's Gun Control Law May Be Challenged

The New York Sun reports:
If gun enthusiasts are victorious this month when the Supreme Court declares what rights exist under the Second Amendment, their next target may be New York City's strict gun control laws.

The federal high court may issue its historic decision on gun rights as early as today, and certainly by no later than month's end.

Obtaining a gun license in New York City is now a lengthy and costly endeavor. In the span of a decade, a New Yorker with a licensed handgun at home will pay more than $1,000 in fees.
The gun control crowd doesn't seem to be bothered by rogue New York police officers walking around with guns.
