Tish James wants to copy Gavin Newsome

She forgets the legislature just enacted A-6762B/S-7196, Relates to the dangers to the safety and health of the public caused by the sale, manufacturing, importing and marketing of firearms and whether such activity constitutes a public nuisance.

Tish James changes her mind

On: By: admin

Tish James has dropped out of the gubernatorial race and will instead run for re-election as Attorney General next year. Other declared Democrat AG candidates promptly dropped out after her announcement. James probably realized that she could lose the gubernatorial primary and be without a job come ’23.

That still leaves the Democrat gubernatorial primary. Best course of action right now is to support Tom Suozzi to do as much damage to Kathy Hochul as possible.

Democrats try to pull a fast one

On: By: admin

St. Lawrence Co. Democrats are trying to pull a fast one over on 2A rights supporters with their Congressional candidate pick:

“The St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee has endorsed Matt Castelli for congress. Castelli’s stand on gun rights is part of the reason … Castelli’s position on gun rights was an important factor in deciding to back him, Clark said … In 2018, the campaign of Democrat Tedra Cobb to unseat Stefanik was derailed when an undercover video surfaced of Cobb saying she would support banning assault weapons, but couldn’t say so before the election because it would hurt her chances … In a September interview with 7 News, Castelli emphasized his deep familiarity with guns – as a C.I.A. officer he carried weapons “in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.” “I was extensively trained and carried a Glock 17 and an M4 rifle,” he said. “So I will protect the rights of our lawful gun owners, our hunters, our sportsmen and women, to keep their families and communities safe,” he said. But Castelli also said more work needs to be done “keeping our communities safe from gun violence.” …”

In other words he’s going to fuck us over the first chance he gets. Don’t give him the opportunity.

NRA needs to be involved in Democrat primary

On: By: admin

NRA in Danger reports that they believe NRA will go to trial in the winter of ‘22.

Tish James is currently the New York Attorney General. She is giving up that office to run for Governor and there will be at least a 4-way Democrat primary for the nomination next June.

NRA should be honest and tell members and constituents to vote against her in the primary. This requires negligible effort, no money and has no downside. Put a statement in the magazine, use the weekly e-mail alert and send a presser to the media. With low turnout it is entirely doable to knock her out in the primary. Obviously this will not stop ongoing legal action by the state against NRA, but having the chief protagonist out of office by the time the case goes to court can only be good for them and may prevent the worse case scenario of corporate dissolution.

Rochester teams up with Brady Campaign

On: By: admin

One of outgoing Mayor Lovely Warren’s last official acts is to team up with the Brady Campaign to analyze firearms trace data.

From their MOU:

“Rochester, through the Rochester Police Department, will use its best efforts to collect trace data about firearms recovered within its jurisdiction. Brady will advise the Rochester Police Department on the types of data and means of collection as necessary … As needed, Brady will provide to the Rochester Police Department advice and guidance regarding the analysis of such data and assist the Rochester Police Department in generating a public-facing report containing the analysis of this data …”

This is suspicious. My guess is they want to use such data as an excuse to try and sue gun manufactures and dealers under the public nuisance bill the legislature passed this year A-6762B/S-7196.

Support Suozzi in the Democrat primary

On: By: admin

Congressman Tom Suozzi announced today he will run for Governor next year.

The current Democrat lineup now includes him, Kathy Hochul, Tish James and Jumaane Williams. I expect Bill de Blasio will add his name to the list soon as well.

All these people stink on gun rights. That being said sitting by and doing nothing has proven to be a failed tactic. Therefore gun rights supporters should vote for Suozzi in the Democrat primary as he is the least offensive of the bunch. Turnout will be low and in a 4 or 5-way race the winner will only get in the neighborhood of upper 30s to low 40s percentage of the vote. Gun rights activists can make a difference by blocking the much worse candidates.
