Blakeman looks to deputize armed residents

On: By: admin

1010 WINS reports:

“Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman confirmed Wednesday that he’s looking to deputize armed residents in the event of a county-wide emergency like a hurricane … Blakeman said the special deputy sheriffs will not run around the county and act like police officers, instead they’ll keep order in the county in case of an emergency, such as a severe weather event like Superstorm Sandy. “They would be protecting our utilities, they would be protecting government buildings, they would be protecting shopping malls if there was looting,” Blakeman told 1010 WINS …”

Notice that neither Blakeman nor any of the other electds, including those who claim to support 2A, still won’t come out in public and call BS on Gov. Hochul’s signature gun control law and demand it’s repeal, but they will engage in nonsense in Nassau and Westchester.

City of Albany Resolution 9.12.24R

On: By: admin

Several City of Albany Councilmen have introduced Resolution 9.12.24R, a nonsense resolution that says:

“… the Council calls for those in possession of handguns, whether legal or illegal, to stop using these weapons in moments of anger or retribution and instead calls for individuals to reach out for help in settling disputes or arguments …”

These are unserious people.
