Republican legislators’ amicus brief denied

Albany Republican legislators’ amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs in Antonyuk v. Nigrelli was denied because the plaintiffs do not want their help.

Mayor Walsh pushes Congress for more gun control

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh is pushing Congress for more gun control:

“… Walsh has specific asks—he said that Congress needs to establish universal background checks regardless of whether someone is purchasing a gun from a store, online or at a gun show. He wants to see harsher penalties for those caught trafficking guns across state lines. Walsh also called for gun manufacturers themselves to be held accountable and face legal repercussions …”

He’s not getting any of this and he knows it. He’s just trying to divert attention away from all the existing gun control laws which he supported and which have obviously failed.

Silence from Republican “leadership”

Notice that neither of the Republican legislative leaders Will Barclay and Robert Ortt have sent out any pressers regarding the supporting brief they filed for Antonyuk v. Bruen.

This is not an oversight.

Contrast their behavior to that of Claudia Tenney who sent out this presser, “Congresswoman Claudia Tenney Leads Congressional Amicus Brief to Supreme Court in Defense of Second Amendment Rights.

They’re playing games.
