It Sucked

On: December 21, 2012December 21, 2012 By: admin

NRA had a press conference today to address the Newtown murders.

It sucked.

They should have spent a lot more time talking about mental health issues as opposed to arming school personnel. The culture wars crap, blaming video games and movies, reminded me of Tipper Gore and the PMRC attacking Twisted Sister in the 80s. Their rhetoric was not helpful for us in New York.

Don’t Panic

There’s talk that Gov. Cuomo will call for a total semi-auto prohibition bill with no grandfather clause for guns and magazines holding 10+, or even 7+, rounds.

Now is not the time for panic. While gun control is still being pushed by many in the media, the pushback has already started. Things are much different for us now than they were 20 years when Clinton pushed his bill through Congress. We are in a much stronger position in Washington and even Albany, although there is still a lot of work to be done particularly here at home.

Now is the time for everybody to contact their reps. and let them know that more gun control is not the solution, it is the problem. Join the NYSRPA and support our PAC too.

Obama’s taskforce not want antis want

On: December 19, 2012December 19, 2012 By: admin

President Obama is setting up a taskforce led by Joe Biden to examine the issues in the wake of the Newtown murders.

The antigunners cannot be happy with this. They want nothing less than a blanket endorsement of their all their proposals backed up with concrete action from the Administration and Congress. It goes back to what I posted earlier, that the gun control movement is dying out. If they cannot move a legislative agenda now it’s over for them, at least on the national level.

State of the State

On: December 17, 2012 By: admin

Gov. Cuomo is being coy on gun control. It looks like we’re going to have to wait until January 9 to see what the deal is.

Cuomo on gun control, says there will be proposals in State of the State.

The end of the gun control movement

On: December 16, 2012 By: admin

The gun control movement is dying. It has been for quite some time. While it will never entirely go away, it has been steadily sliding towards irrelevance. The horrific murders in Connecticut will not change that.

The usual suspects have come forth, spewing the same hate they always do. Rep. Jerry Nadler, displaying all the dignity and class New Yorkers have come to expect from him, called for President Obama to “exploit” this atrocity for political gain. It will not work.

Dinosaur media outlets will try and blame “the gun lobby” for lack of movement on the antis agenda, asserting they either pay off and/or intimidate politicians into silence on the issue. Those delusions may provide a degree of comfort for those in places such as the New York Times editorial boardroom, but hiding from the truth will not make it go away.

And that truth is this: Our county has had a debate on guns and the gun control side lost that debate big-time. Guns sales are up across the county and black rifles are the most popular sellers. More and more people are carrying concealed firearms for personal protection. Mainstream television programs from Top Shot and American Guns to Pawn Stars and MythBusters feature firearms. When you can go out and buy ammo just for shooting zombies, you know that our side has won the culture war on guns.

The antis and their media allies will continue their shrieking and teeth-gnashing, further embarrassing themselves and accelerating the movements political demise. The sooner that happens the better.
