All about guns, legislation and politics in New York
Incumbent Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente will be in a three-way Republican primary next Tuesday with David Gordon and Michael Hennessy.
As to where the candidates stand on 2A:
When in doubt, vote the incumbent out. With low turnout gun owners have an opportunity to push Picente off the cliff.

A-8174, Provides for an exception to firearm storage requirements related to persons less than sixteen years old when such person less than sixteen years old is at a shooting range under immediate supervision, or when such person less than sixteen years old is the holder of a hunting license or permit, is on the Assembly Codes Committee agenda for Tuesday, June 11.
“National Gun Violence Awareness Day” was this past Saturday:
“Hundreds of Brooklynites dressed in orange marched across the Brooklyn Bridge from Cadman Plaza on Saturday in an annual demonstration against gun violence …”
Was the demonstration a success?
“A 40-year-old man was fatally shot on a Harlem street corner early Monday, police said …“
No.
The Supreme Court declined without comment to hear a case regarding regulation of silencers.
I don’t think we can read anything into their decision at this time. They turn down the overwhelming majority of appeals and already have one 2A case on their docket for next term. As much as gun rights activists would like it the court only has a limited amount of time to hear cases and there are other issues before them besides 2A.
