Some big box stores stopping ammo sales
Some big box stores are stopping ammunition sales.
Hochul’s Law basically reiterates the old SAFE requirement saying there shall be an ammo check database. It doesn’t exist. There’s a reason in the nearly 10 years since SAFE was passed one hasn’t been created and I don’t see it being created anytime soon.
Sullivan Co. resolution reaffirming 2A rights
The Sullivan Co. legislature passed a resolution reaffirming 2A rights and basically saying they will decide who can carry on county property.

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.
