GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

I wonder if they'll challenge the NY law... it was effective immediately yesterday.

IDK. If I were a national lobbyist or strategist for the NRA, I would recommend focusing all effort at the fed level right now. What gets passed at the federal level will essentially be the minimum for state-specific laws.

I would expend less political resources and monies on New York and California which already have laws that exceed the current federal minimums and heavy anti-gun coalitions in place as is stands.

Instead, I'd be working the reps from pro-gun states like Texas, Az, Florida, etc.. to help block the most objectionable of the proposed federal bans from passing Congress.

After finishing the Fed war, state by state focus would make more sense and would need to be jumped on quickly (some of the state-specific lobbying would be going on in parallel to the fed lobbying; but mostly as feed-in to the war at the fed level). The NRA may have an entirely different game plan, but that's what I would do anyway. New York state laws wouldn't be a high priority in the short term, at all.
