Campaign kickoff stunt
“A longtime local Democratic politician is running for a New York state Assembly seat. Willie Lightfoot Sr., who is currently in his 2nd term as a City Councilman at Large will run for Assembly in the 137th district. That’s the seat currently held by Democrat Demond Meeks … Lightfoot said that it is time “for us to come together to take back our city from the dangers that have plagued it.” Lightfoot has been active in anti-violence efforts, his campaign statement talked about his push to establish the Roc Against Gun Violence Coalition …”
Not surprised by this. I suspected he was up to something when he released his so-called “Gun Violence Action Plan” a few weeks back.
Greene Co. calls for removal of ammo check fees
The Greene Co. Legislature approved Resolution 311-23, supporting S-7645, Repeals certain provisions establishing a fee for background checks on certain firearm and ammunition purchases and amends the source of funds for the background check fund accordingly.
Rocah bows out
Good news for 2A supporters!
Westchester Co. D.A. Mimi Rocah will not seek re-election for a 2nd term next year.
She is a big time gun control supporter and her leaving is a blessing. It gives us a chance to get someone better in the office. Doesn’t have to be a pro-gun advocate, just someone who doesn’t misuse the office to promote their personal political agenda.

“Good moral character” and “good cause” struck down
A federal judge has rendered a decision in the case of Srour v. New York City and struck down New York City’s “good moral character” and “good cause” requirements for gun licenses, and stayed the decision until October 26 so the state has time to consider appealing.
Quattrone gets screwed
Last month State Supreme Court Judge J. Emmett Murphy failed an ammunition background check.
Now it’s Chautauqua Co. Sheriff James Quattrone’s turn to get denied.
