New York Libertarian for Governor: Supreme Court gun ruling changes everything in Plaxico Burress case

From Eric Dondero:

New York Libertarian for Governor and gun rights attorney Warren Redlich said in Albany yesterday that Plaxico Burress's conviction should now be overturned. The Supreme Court ruled yesterday in a 5 to 4 decision, that New York State gun laws are unconstitutional.

In McDonald v. Chicago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Chicago's ban on handguns is unconstitutional. In doing so, it ruled that the 2nd amendment does in fact apply to the states.

Redlich said:

"This landmark ruling will require New York State to take immediate action to amend its gun laws so they do not violate the constitution. It is a striking victory for gun owners and for anyone who believes in the fundamental rights the constitution provides."

Burress was a New Jersey resident convicted under New York's gun laws. Redlich added:

"Given that New York State makes it impossible for an out-of-state resident to get a gun license, Burress’s conviction should be overturned."

Note - Redlich is running on the Libertarian line, but is also a local elected Republican.
