The Sullivan Co. legislature passed a resolution reaffirming 2A rights and basically saying they will decide who can carry on county property.
Here is a copy of the resolution.
Why Molinaro lost the special election
Some on-target commentary on why Marc Molinaro lost the special election last week:
“… State Assemblyman Kieran Michael Lalor, who represents part of Dutchess County and runs the news site Hudson Power Broker, said he knew why Molinaro lost the election: “He had no base.” “Molinaro had none of the energy (behind him) that’s normally on the right,” Lalor said. “The social conservatives aren’t for Molinaro, the Second Amendment people — they might have pulled the lever for him, but they’re not organizing, donating and volunteering for like a guy like Molinaro … He’s driving around in a $100,000 taxpayer-funded SUV in a slick suit. He’s not going to relate to the guys at the gun club.” … “In a special election, it’s all you,” Lalor said. “And (Molinaro) did not have a base except the local political establishment.” …”
Kieran is correct.
