In the midsts of some bullshit, Chuck Schumer admits that the real agenda is no more private transfers, not an renewed and expanded semi-auto ban.
Lawsuit coming …
NYSRPA and NRA will be filing a lawsuit over the Cuomo gun law. Details will be available soon. In the meantime we need more members and supporters to help pay for the suit.
Journal News caves
The Journal News has caved to public pressure and removed their map of pistol license holders from their website.
Editor Janet Hasson claims this was done to comply with the new Cuomo gun law:
“… While the new law does not require us to remove the data, we believe that doing so complies with its spirit …”
Bullshit. And I mean literally:
“Police say someone mailed fecal matter to the home of an editor for a New York newspaper that has published the names and addresses of handgun owners … the package was sent to a Journal News employee. The newspaper identified her as CynDee Royle, who’s editor and vice president/news …”

Fuck You, Ed Cox!
State GOP Chairman Ed Cox is even more arrogant than Governor Cuomo:
“The state Republican Party is knocking Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the quick vote on new gun-control laws, saying he’s doing it to build his national profile … “For Governor Cuomo to state that the 20-year gun control debate justifies limited debate over the specifics of the SAFE Act is intellectually dishonest and downright absurd,” the state party said in a statement. “For example, a gun registration law in Canada that turned millions of law-abiding citizens into criminals resulted in such massive resistance that Canada had to rescind the law. Could that happen in New York? Never discussed.” …”
That’s right and elected members of his own party never discussed them or anything else. The reason they didn’t discuss them is because Republican leadership helped pass this law in the first place! The Republicans own this as much as Cuomo does.
