Support Cacace for Westchester D.A.
Thanks to this letter-to-the-editor rant, Westchester gun owners know who to support in the Democrat primary for County District Attorney:
“This June, voters will turn out to the polls to decide which District Attorney candidate best reflects the values of the Westchester community. With two Democratic frontrunners—Susan Cacace and William Wagstaff—and Democrats maintaining a strong registration advantage in the county, it would be easy to assume that either candidate would share the principles of Westchester voters. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case … [Susan Cacace] chose to run for judge on the Republican and Conservative ballot lines—despite the Conservative Party’s extremist positions on gun safety … Just the other week, a major GOP donor, who defended gun owners as “New York’s Top Firearms Attorney,” held a private fundraiser for Judge Cacace’s DA campaign …”

Everytown staffer running for Assembly
Found this useful nugget of information at the Columbia Daily Spectator:
“The Columbia University Democrats hosted a New York State Assembly District 69 candidate forum on Wednesday, allowing candidates in the competitive race to share their platform with students and Columbia community members … [Melissa Rosenberg] said her platform draws upon her background as a policy analyst with the Supportive Housing Network of New York and nationwide gun violence prevention with Everytown for Gun Safety. For Rosenberg, these crises will not disappear or be remedied with incremental changes. “I think we need to see more bold changes,” Rosenberg said. “And I’d be one to advocate for that wholeheartedly.” …”
Victory in this race shall be defined as Rosenberg losing. Any of the other candidates winning is better than her.
We can narrow it down a bit more, though:
“… [Micah Lasher], who grew up on the Upper West Side and previously served as the Director of Policy for the State of New York under Gov. Kathy Hochul, highlighted his efforts to enact gun safety laws following mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde …”
A big victory shall be defined as both Rosenberg and Lasher losing.
This is no way should be construed to mean that either of the other declared candidates are much better on gun rights. However, these two bigots have expended much personal effort to deny citizens their rights and need to lose.
2A advocates should not sit out this race which will effectively be decided in the June Democrat primary.
School Anti-Violence Education Act
A-4917B, Enacts the “School Anti-Violence Education Act”; creates a school anti-violence education program; provides that funding will be provided through the omnibus school violence prevention grant program, has been amended and resubmitted to Education. There is no companion bill.
This is just another money-funnel to leftist groups who will in turn promote the legislative agendas and re-election campaigns of politicos who diverted public monies to them.
Blakeman looks to deputize armed residents
“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.
