Many, many times I have said there is no reason for Republicans to pander to gun control advocates especially in New York where the astroturf is heavily influenced by Democrat officials and party activists.
Here is the latest example of why this never goes the Republican’s way:
“A prominent anti-gun violence group took aim Monday at GOP gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro for voting 32 times against bills to strengthen New York’s firearms laws. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America also blasted Molinaro for saying on the campaign trail this year that he wants to dismantle New York State’s tough SAFE gun control law passed in the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting. “It’s an obvious problem ,” said Laura Burns, the group’s state communications lead. “He wants to go backward to weaken gun laws instead [of] maintaining what we have in New York and making them stronger.” …”
This is after Molinaro put antigun Julie Killian on the ticket and told the NRA he didn’t want any of their help.
BTW, how is his campaign going?

And his standing in the polls?
“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is holding onto a 22-point lead over Republican Marc Molinaro as the 2018 race for governor enters its final five weeks, according to a new poll made public Monday. Cuomo, a two-term Democrat, leads Molinaro, the Dutchess County executive, 50-28 percent, according to the Siena College poll of likely voters …”
That’s what you get for not standing up for what’s right.
Well, the plus side Jacob is we now have a strong conservative group of justices on SCOTUS. I am now assuming that the lawyer for NYSPIRA is getting ready to hit the switch and light SAFE on fire. At least it’s some good news under all this NYS bad news. Which isn’t surprising, Cuomo is already touting SAFE ACT part 2.
There is help in your corner. Safe act 2 includes teachers and medical personal being under red flag laws. Their job will just get way worse and all gun owners should be scared. Please just look into Larry Sharpe. His running mate is a hunter and has always been against The “UNsafe Act”. Killian who is Molinaro’s running mate vowed in in the media to have the Safe Act go even farther. NY’s only hope for total reform and constitutional rights is Larry Sharpe. NY could make history in 2018.

Larry Sharpe, a US Marine Veteran, and his Lt Governor candidate Andrew Hollister have been running with the premisis of repeal the UnSafe Act and pardoning those convicted of violations of the law, especially the more then 7 rounds, or non compliant accessories. If you commited an actual CRIME tho besides the Safe Act stuff, obviously he isn’t pardoning those convictions. Molinaro isn’t offering that.
