There are limited opportunities for 2A advocates to impact races in New York. Decades of gerrymandering districts along with the power of incumbency make it very difficult to influence the outcome of elections, especially for Democrats.
These are the races where I believe 2A advocates have a chance to play an important role. Voter turnout in the primaries is always low, especially in the City. Knocking out an antigun incumbent is more likely in these districts where a number of factors come into play including having a well-funded opponent, party disapproval and/or voter displeasure makes them vulnerable. Whether or not the challenger is pro-gun is irrelevant. Incumbents who voted for the SAFE Act, “Red Flag”, etc. must know they will pay a price for supporting gun control at election time.

No mention of Congressional District 27 with Duane Whitmer running and he’s actually a part of a lawsuit against Cuomo dealing with 2A rights
He’s not in a primary.
Duane Whitmer IS in a primary, and being primaried by a former Democrat/WFP shill. Please endorse Duane Whitmer for NY 27. He is an unabashed 2A supporter.
I stand corrected. His primary opponent doesn’t have an election committee set up. He’s not going to accomplish anything.
