Banging on the “unconstitutional” drums here is, in this context, an argument for doing nothing.

No, it’s not. It’s simply an argument for honoring the Constitution and our country’s shared legal history. Your attempts to reframe that as advocating passivity is sniveling dishonesty.

The real problem with the NY law is that it does NOTHING to get the worst kinds of guns off the streets, the ones responsible for the vast majority of firearms crime, ultra compact pistols. These guns hold less than seven rounds and are incredibly easy to conceal. Defining them by size is easy, if the NY government had done that I’d be the first to applaud.
