NYS Rifle and Pistol Association prepares appeal
On December 31st, a Federal court upheld the Safe Act but struck down the 7 round limit as unconstitutional. Judge Skretny agreed that the banned rifles are guns common in use as noted in Heller, but relied on intermediate scrutny of the New York law as the court argued that the issue does not involve a fundemental right, all guns would not be banned and the state made a showing that there was a substatial link between the purposes of the SAFE Act and the interest of public safety that the state seeks to advance. The NYSRA posted a copy of their review of the decision and their appeal.
