In it to win it

The only thing that makes Andrew Cuomo even the slightest bit appealing is the fact that Zohran Mamdani is a racist, anti-Semite who is to the left of Karl Marx.

Good news, bad news

Good news: Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo for the Democrat nomination for NYC Mayor.

Bad news: Mamdani said back in ’22 he wants to “ban all guns.”

Signs, signs, everywhere are signs

Councilmen Erik Bottcher and Julie Menin decided to hold a presser this week on their bill, INT 1016-2024:

From the bill text:

Every dealer in firearms and dealer in rifles and shotguns shall, in the place where rifles, shotguns, or firearms are displayed or where rifles, shotguns, or firearms are transferred to a purchaser, conspicuously post:

1. A notice stating: “A firearm in the home significantly increases the risk of suicide, homicide, death during domestic disputes, and unintentional deaths to children, household members, and others. If you or a loved one is experiencing distress or depression, call the Mobile Crisis Team at 1-888-NYC-WELL (1-888-692-9355) or the National Suicide Hotline at 988.” Such notice shall be at least 8 inches by 11 inches and printed in no less than 36-point font, and shall be unobstructed in its entirety … Any person who violates subdivision b of this section shall be guilty of a violation punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 …

Here’s a video of him bloviating about it:

Both these morons are too arrogant and stupid to accept that the main reason people buy guns is because they are dangerous. This will do nothing to discourage people from exercising their civil rights.

Bills which passed this session

The state legislature is finally in recess a couple days late.

Here is a link to the gun bills which passed this session.

Primary voting guide

Here is the 2025 Democrat primary voting guide.

Sitting out the primary is not an option. Go out and vote for the “best” possible candidate running. Make it known to the candidate and any party officials that 2A is your issue and you support candidates based upon that.

A first for New York

For the first time I can recall an elected official from New York has actually called for people to exercise their 2A rights for self-defense. Not a wishy-washy statement either.

The Post reports:

“A City Council member from Queens is urging her constituents to arm themselves following a terrifying home invasion in which robbers posing as Amazon drivers tied up a family and snatched thousands of dollars in cash, according to cops. Republican Vickie Paladino offered to help residents in her district — which covers Whitestone, where the ordeal took place — obtain gun permits in light of the break-in Monday morning. “I want to remind my constituents that New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protect themselves,” Paladino said in a statement. “I urge my constituents to avail themselves of their rights under the Second Amendment; my office is always available to assist constituents with obtaining firearm permits for premises or concealed carry,” she said Tuesday. …”

Outstanding.
