Those arguments were... interesting, especially at the end
One of the judges asked if Governor Hochul has the same views on guns as Cuomo, saying "she's from Buffalo."
"I appreciate you advising us that we might get reversed. That very comforting."
The judges will allow Dark Storm to file a letter on mootness by 9/27, with a response by NY due on 10/1.

One judge asks Deerfield if the law's amendments (to ban the specified guns) is a repeal and replace. Deerfield says it isn't. Judge asks which parts of the original amendment are still intact.

Brady: "Americans’ Second Amendment rights must be drawn so as to not infringe on the right of every individual to live, which necessarily includes a right not to be shot."
