All about guns, legislation and politics in New York
Letitia James released a video highlighting inconsistencies in the rhetoric of her rival Democrat Attorney General nominee Zephyr Teachout when discussing the SAFE Act:

I am a big fan of Gun For Hire’s podcast.
Host Anthony Colandro needs help to petition his way on to the 2019 NRA Directors ballot.
