Mario Biaggi, the crooked Congressman who came up with the “cop killer” ammo myth, finally dropped dead at age 97.
A sign to come for ’16?
The Big Ugly
Although things are not all finalized, it looks like the SAFE changes made by the Senate will not make it through final legislative negotiations.
One take on the Big Ugly negotiations – Cuomo, Heastie entered the room ready for battle, Flanagan for a cocktail party. Guess who won.

Please vote for NYSRPA
Lucky Gunner is donating the legal fees awarded to them by the judge in the Brady Campaign’s failed junk lawsuit against them to pro-gun organizations.

Any monies received will go to offset legal costs associated with our lawsuit against the SAFE Act.
Numbers mean nothing
According to numbers released today by the NYSP, 23,847 people have applied to register a total of 44,485 newly defined so-called assault-style weapons.
It is reasonable to assume that only a very low number of people are complying with the law. It is also safe to assume these numbers are much higher than the actual numbers as there are probably lots of Seymore Butz’s and Al Kaholic’s on the list.
Neither the Governor nor legislature will care. Cuomo will never admit he made a mistake and I don’t expect many in the media to call him on it.
Steve McLaughlin debates mandatory storage bill
Nozzolio’s nonsense
Why didn’t NBC ask all the Assemblymembers who voted for SAFE (like sponsor Dan Quart) and who the knife bill if they see a double standard?
Still there
The state legislature has not gone into recess as scheduled. They are still in Albany debating serious issues:

It remains to be seen whether the Assembly will take up companion legislation to the SAFE revision bill.
Trump dump
Back from the dead
Microstamping bill A-6192 is on the Assembly Codes Committee agenda for Monday.
This is interesting as the enacting clause was stricken on May 12 which should have killed the bill. That action is no longer listed, only the original introduction to Codes on March 16 is.
