Letter to Bondi

On: By: admin

Back in February President Trump directed the Attorney General to examine all state gun laws and regulations to see if they comply with recent SCOTUS rulings on 2nd Amendment rights.

Congresswomen Elise Stefanik and Claudia Tenney have just sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bond to review New York’s gun laws:

Letter to AG Bondi

This is nice, but unless Bondi takes legal action against New York it’s just light political theater. I mean something serious, like challenging Hochul’s gun control laws and/or the phony SAFE Act all the way to SCOTUS. I’m not holding my breath on that.

NYAGV wants budget handouts

On: By: admin

New Yorkers Against Gun Violence is pushing for inclusion of A-2084/S-1289 in the state budget which would create a state Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

This is simply a way to put politico’s otherwise unemployable loser friends who cannot find productive work in the private sector on the public dole where they will advocate for whatever those politicos want.
