New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a motion on Monday asking a federal appeals court to keep a new gun-control law in the state intact while her office appeals a judge’s decision blocking part of the new law.
Chief Judge Glenn Suddaby of the U.S. District Court in Syracuse on Oct. 6 had issued a temporary injunction blocking key parts of New York’s new gun law, the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA). The judge had determined that certain provisions of the new law violated the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
