Statement on N.Y. Federal Judge Striking Down Kathy Hochul’s Unconstitutional Violation Against the Second Amendment

Saratoga, N.Y. -Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement.

"Despite Kathy Hochul and radical New York Democrats repeated attempts to target law-abiding New York gun owners, today's ruling from the Western District of New York delivers a win for New Yorkers' Second Amendment rights, striking down Kathy Hochul's unconstitutional overreach by simply applying recent common sense rulings of the United States Supreme Court.

"When it comes to the Second Amendment, Kathy Hochul and New York Democrats refuse to follow the Constitution. I applaud today's ruling and will always fight for the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding New Yorkers,"said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.

In January 2023, Congresswoman Stefanik reintroduced a resolution "Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that New York State's Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA) is unconstitutional."
