Hochul goes after 3D printed guns

Her presser: Keeping New Yorkers Safe: Governor Hochul Announces Nation-Leading Proposals to Crack Down on 3D-Printed Guns and Other Illegal Firearms

There are already a number of bills pertaining to this. I’ll know sometime later which ones she specifically wants as part of this.

One of the most retarded members of the legislature is already salivating over this:

2nd elected official calls for exorcising gun rights

On: By: admin

For only the second time an elected official from New York has publicly called for citizens to exercise their 2A rights for self-defense.

Inside this article from the Post is this statement from Councilwoman Inna Vernikov:

“Gun-toting Republican Brooklyn lawmaker Inna Vernikov won’t face repercussions for bringing a firearm to a pro-Palestinian college rally — despite tough talk from progressive City Council members … “Carrying a weapon into public assembly, especially an assembly which consists of masked supporters of ‘Globalize the Intifada,’ is not only appropriate, but is necessary,” she said. “With the incoming [Mayor-elect Zohran] Mamdani admin, where criminals will be set free and law-abiding citizens punished, I urge law-abiding New Yorkers to exercise our Second Amendment rights,” she said …”

She ain’t kidding either:

Gun salesman of the year

On: By: admin

I predict Zohran Mamdani will be the top gun salesman of the year throughout the next 4/8 years of his administration. Several things point towards this.

Sign #1:

“… Jewish New Yorkers are arming themselves before an anti-Israel “mayor who despises us” takes the helm of New York City, several told The Post this week. Michael Bergida, who opened a gun shop in Marine Park, Brooklyn, called Samson Armory — a nod to the Biblical Israelite warrior and symbol of sheer strength — said his new business is booming. Bergida, 30, is arming everyone from fearful zaydes to terrified rabbis …”

Sign #2:

“… New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is putting together a team, and one of the people on that team is Alex Vitale, a professor of sociology at Brooklyn College and the author of a provocative book called: “The End of Policing.” That’s right: The new mayor has picked one of the leading intellectuals behind the Abolish the Police movement to work on community safety issues. That’s very interesting, of course, given that I was assured by my liberal friends that Mamdani isn’t actually serious about abolishing or defunding the police, and that when he tweeted over and over again that he wanted to do just that, he was — what, joking? Lying? Pay no attention to what the mayor of New York said five years ago, it’s ancient history! Surely, when Mamdani said “Queer liberation means defund the police” he didn’t mean “defund the police,” right? …”

Sign #3:

“… Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani vowed Thursday to stop clearing homeless encampments throughout the Big Apple — ending a signature initiative pushed by the Adams administration since taking office. The Democratic Socialist flatly told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Manhattan that he would stop all sweeps of makeshift settlements come the new year when he is sworn in as mayor …”

People should have paid more attention to what Mamdani had actually been saying and advocating for in public before the election. The City is going back to the 70s, but without the cool soundtrack.

NYC requires gun shop signs

On: By: admin

The Clown Council passed Int 1016-2024A, requiring gun dealers and licensing officers to display written warnings about the risks associated with accessing firearms.

This pleases Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz:

“… I am pleased that the City Council is poised to pass its own legislation which is similar to my legislation, but also adds a graphic requirement warning individuals of the dangers of keeping a firearm at home also be included … I welcome all allies who join me in fighting against gun violence and look forward to the passage of Council Member Bottcher’s legislation that would require when an individual amends or receives a license or permit for possession of a firearm, and where a firearm dealer displays or distributes a notice of the dangers of gun ownership, that a graphic warning that depict the nature of the health and safety risks described in the notice be adjacent to the notice …”

Albany proposed Local Law J of 2025

On: By: admin

Albany County Executive Dan McCoy announced an executive order Tuesday morning raising the purchase age for flare guns to 21.

The County Legislature then introduced proposed Local Law J of 2025:

After a year with over a dozen incidents involving flare guns in the City of Albany alone, many involving minors, the Albany County Legislature acted Tuesday.

Local Law J, introduced during the body’s regular monthly meeting, codifies that flare guns will be treated akin to traditional firearms in Albany County and must be primarily purchased, possessed, and used by those over 21 years old.

The law is currently sponsored by the Legislature’s Chairwoman, Joanne Cunningham, and was referred to the Law and Public Safety Committees for review during November meetings.

According to City of Albany Police statistics, 13 flare gun incidents occurred from July 1, 2024, to July 7, 2025, with at least half involving a minor. Some involved flare guns modified to fire traditional ammunition, but even when unmodified, incidents can still be chaotic and violent. The most prominent one from the past year was part of an incident during the Fourth of July weekend, where a minor discharged a flare gun that sparked a fire and eventually burned down a building at 333 Madison Ave.

The new law does not prohibit the purchase or use of flare guns on boats, for official military or government purposes, or for individuals under 21 participating in recognized and supervised training programs.

Anyone violating the new law could be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by a $500 fine for the first violation, and up to $1,000 for each subsequent violation.

The new law joins similar, but pending, New York State legislation introduced this summer by State Senator Patricia Fahy and Assemblymembers John T. McDonald III, and Gabriella Romero. It is also accompanied by a related executive order signed by Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy this morning.

Albany County Legislature Chairwoman Joanne Cunningham said: “Flare guns aren’t toys. As we have seen over the past year, these weapons can lead to tragedy and suffering, whether they are modified or not. This law is about respecting and accepting the responsibility that purchasing, owning, and using a flare gun brings with it.”

Albany County Legislature Deputy Chairwoman Wanda Willingham said: “Flare guns, just as any firearm, are dangerous. Plain and simple. This local law demonstrates how serious the responsibility of owning and using a flare gun and, therefore, any firearm really is.”

These people are idiots.

Everytown to offer firearms training

On: By: admin

Each time I think the antis cannot get any more ridiculous, they go ahead an prove me wrong.

From USA Today,”Everytown wants stricter laws on guns. Now, they’ll also teach you to use one“:

“Some activists devoted to ending gun violence had to look twice at the source of the ads for firearms training that flashed on their computer screens. Everytown for Gun Safety, which has made its name advocating for stricter gun laws and preventing violence, is now offering courses for gun owners. Organizers say the on-demand or Zoom-style sessions are aimed at responsibility and safety without any undertones of salesmanship …”

This sounds sus.

“… The new program, Train SMART, also risks angering a network of grassroots chapters and gun violence prevention volunteers at Everytown. Some recoiled at the launch and others quit their positions …”

HA!

“… “It looks more like what a grandfather teaches a grandson than what you get in the back room of a gun shop,” said Chris Marvin, Everytown’s veterans adviser who helped create the program that costs $20 to $100 and has sessions lasting 90-minutes, 150-minutes and up to eight hours …”

Aha! They’re going for the money.

“… Marvin, a former Black Hawk helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, said he and other military veterans designed the course to mimic military instruction from trusted sources …”

What exactly does being a helicopter pilot have to do with firearms training?

“… any gun training class will have to land on some key answers to thorny questions that will crop up from trainees. Should I even buy a gun? Should I store my gun loaded near my bed? Will I be safer in my home with a firearm? Marvin, the veterans trainer, said those answers are nuanced, but the Everytown training will focus on clear statistics: Yes, purchasing a firearm will increase the risk someone in your home could be shot; no, you should not keep a loaded pistol unlocked on your nightstand; no, you should not always assume buying a gun will be the key part of your home defense plan, Marvin said. Marvin said instructors will describe a balance on storage that leans toward safes that could still be opened quickly – or for changing your storage options when someone in the home is struggling with mental health …”

It appears they are actually hoping people will pay them to be told gun control propaganda under the guise of learning firearms safety. There’s no way this will go well for them. Given it’s causing some of their supporters to quit, it does look good for the 2A team though.

Failing on deaf ears

On: By: admin

A man decided to ignore New York’s and New York City’s gun control laws by openly carrying a long rifle in Manhattan then going into a building and shooting a bunch of people before finally killing himself.

Of course, the usual suspects tried to exploit this atrocity for political gain, starting with Governor Hochul:

“… Congress must summon the courage to stand up to the gun lobby and finally pass a national assault weapons ban before more innocent lives are stolen …”

Assemblyman Alex Bores:

“… Bores said, “I think it’s, as our governor said this morning, it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons. Now, this one was a pistol and a different one, and I expect many of my colleagues in elected office to pick at specific distinctions in weapons. But what’s clear is no one should have a magazine that can shoot 30 rounds. No one should have such a high-powered and maneuverable weapon and be able to walk around city streets or drive it into our state.” …”

Assemblyman Charles Lavine:

These people pathetic. Gun control has never been popular with the general public and with Democrat approval at 19% right now none of this crap is going anywhere and they know it. They are so lame they just recite the same tired talking points over and over oblivious to the reality that no one is paying any attention to their theatrics and phony hysterics.

The Clinton AWB is gone and is not coming back. At some point I expect SCOTUS will take up one of the similar state-level laws and knock it down once and for all.

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.

Signs, signs, everywhere are signs

On: By: admin

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.
