A win is a win, and I'll take this one. I hope it isn't another 12 years before the next one.

It’s going to be more wide sweeping that just something that effects NY. It will be a benchmark for the future, like the Heller decision.

That should bother me but it really doesn't. I've shot an AR15 with a "featureless" grip and was pleasantly surprised. But yeah, they need to strike down that stupid shit too.
