NEW YORK (Reuters) -A federal judge in New York on Thursday temporarily blocked parts of the state's new gun law to allow the Gun Owners of America, an advocacy group, to pursue a lawsuit challenging the legislation.

The law came into effect on Sept. 1, creating new requirements for obtaining a license, including submitting social media accounts for review, and creating a long list of public and private places where having a gun became a felony crime, even for license holders.

Lawmakers in New York's Democratic-controlled legislature had passed the law during an emergency session in July after the U.S. Supreme Court found the state's licensing regime for firearms to be unconstitutional following a challenge by the New York affiliate of the National Rifle Association, a powerful gun-owners' rights group.

Chief Judge Glenn Suddaby of the U.S. District Court in Syracuse agreed to issue the order at the request of six New York residents who are members of Gun Owners of America, which competes with the National Rifle Association in political influence.

1. Everyone knew that the social media part was gonna get struck down

Perhaps they can re-write it an omit that part.

2. Any civil lawsuits against gun owners

because they have more rights than the rest of us?

Pretty sick of planning my escape routes in public places and fearing for my loved ones' lives.

3. Also pretty sick of living in a country where school children are just collateral damage

so the gun crazies can be allowed to stockpile weapons for their divil war to overturn the government. We have been living in crazy land, and it keeps getting worse because we have a Supreme Court and several federal courts enabling crazy land.

4. the right has its own unpaid army

that arms itself, doesn't want pay or benefits, and doesn't care about anything except murdering unarmed people. And the zealots and despots who want to rule are making sure there are no barriers to killing off as many people as possible, and convincing the rest to shelter in place.

Power mad is just another word for crazy.

5. If it weren't for the internet

I wouldn't get out at all anymore. Who wants to walk around a bunch of morons with concealed weapons. I wouldn't trust them with a garden hose much less a gun.

6. Statically, what are the chances of you being shot?

Last time I looked at FBI statistics, it'd pretty much zero for me.

7. Yeah driving somewhere will be a lot more dangerous.

[EX500rider]

8. Driving a car is a lot more likely to kill you then somebody with a gun.

Your chances of being in a mass shooting are even slimmer.

[SouthernDem4ever]

9. So those statistics aren't rising every year?

How much is too much?

[EX500rider]

10. My only point was if you're going to be fearing for your loved ones

Statistically you should be more afraid every time they get in the car since cars kill about twice as many people as murder with firearms

[SouthernDem4ever]

11. Well, staying home keeps me from getting in an accident too

it's a two-fer

[EX500rider]

12. Not really..

....as accidental fall & accidental poisoning deaths both exceed auto deaths and way exceed firearms homicides, and I assume mostly happen in and around the home.

Motor vehicle traffic deaths
Number of deaths: 40,698

Unintentional fall deaths
Number of deaths: 42,114

Unintentional poisoning deaths
Number of deaths: 87,404

13. Can you also predict when this will happen to me?

I have a bucket list I'll need to do first.

[EX500rider]

14. No I can only tell you what is statistically more likely to happen
