Antigunners in Nassau are unhappy the local Friends of NRA chapter will be holding their annual dinner in New Hyde Park in a few weeks. A protest is planned and local politicians are promoting it:
“… “While reasonable people across this country are looking for common-sense solutions to reduce the number of guns on our streets, the Nassau County Friends of the NRA plan on giving them away at their upcoming fundraiser in New Hyde Park,” state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) said. Kaplan went on to say, “I look forward to standing in solidarity with Long Islanders who’ve had enough of the NRA and their backwards agenda, as we protest the event on September 19th at the Inn at New Hyde Park.” …”
“… “Last year I stood with activists to ask The Inn at New Hyde Park to reconsider hosting the [National Rifle Association] annual fundraiser. We were told it was too late for them to cancel the event,” [Sen. Jim Gaughran] said in a tweet. “What I can’t understand then, is why The Inn is hosting them again this year.” Gaughran’s letter said that the country is “in the midst of a gun violence epidemic” and that organizations like the NRA are ignoring “pain, suffering and loss” caused by gun violence. “We must stand firmly united against the NRA’s blanket refusal to support common-sense gun safety reforms,” Gaughran wrote …”
An event on Facebook currently shows 45 people will be attending the protest. Who knows how many will actually show up.
The era of peace and love is officially over, replaced with political correctness and virtue signaling:

“Assemblyman Jonathan Jacobson has introduced two bills in response to the recent mass shooting in Dayton that would forbid anyone other than a law enforcement officer from owning a bullet-proof vest and make it a separate crime for a civilian to wear a bullet-proof vest while committing any other offense. “Unless you are actively working in law enforcement or in a handful of occupations, there is no legitimate reason to purchase or own a bullet-proof vest,” Jacobson, a City of Newburgh Democrat, said in a statment. “Bullet-proof vests are necessary to protect those whose professions put them at risk of injury. Otherwise, bullet-proof vests are used by those hoping to protect themselves while committing crimes.” …”
That’s just nonsense.
