Biden-appointed federal Judge Sanket Bulsara has ruled in the case of Wysocki v. Nassau Co. that Nassau County committed a “plain violation of the Second Amendment” when it disarmed the plaintiffs in response to their “daughter’s mental-health emergency” and refused to return the firearms and licenses despite evidence that the “threat long ago dissipated (if it ever existed at all).”
Bye, bye Bill
The media made a big deal about extreme Left candidates winning in primary elections, but one bright spot was long time incumbent Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli going down in flames to challenger Onondaga County legislator Mo Brown in the Democrat primary by a 104 vote margin.
I don’t know if Mo is 2A friendly, but Magnarelli certainly was not. The close vote shows the importance of getting gun owners involved in primaries as well as the general elections.

Primary recommendations
Tuesday is primary election day.
I love primaries because turnout is always low so it is easier to effect the outcome. I’m not impressed with the choices available so this is my recommendation:
- In the AD-129 Democrat primary, vote FOR challenger Maurice “Mo” Brown to oust incumbent Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli who never supports 2A.
- In the CD-10 Democrat primary, vote FOR incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman even though he’s a giant, glowing asshole because it will be hilarious when super-douche Brad Lander goes down in flames.
This is as good as it gets. Vote early and often.

Should have thought about this before
Governor Hochul finally signed the state budget.
“Every proposal included in this Budget was a fight for New Yorkers and their future. Working with my partners in the Legislature, we delivered an ambitious agenda that will lower costs for hardworking families, keep New Yorkers safe and create opportunity for all,” Governor Hochul said. “While Washington continues to make life more difficult for New Yorkers, I’m doing everything in my power to make real, tangible progress on the issues New Yorkers are facing and I will always fight for the people who call this great state home.”
Yeah, right.
With regard to the antigun initiatives:
- Require first-in-the-nation minimum safety standards for 3D printers sold in New York to be equipped with basic technology that prevents the unlicensed, illegal production of lethal firearms and firearm parts.
- Require the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services to lead a task force of experts to recommend regulations that will ensure New Yorkers are protected from these dangerous weapons. Following the implementation of the resulting regulations, state law will allow for recourse against any actor who sells a 3D printer in New York without equipping it with such technology.
- Criminalize the unlawful possession, sale, or distribution of blueprints that allow the printing of illegal guns and gun parts, and the manufacture of 3D-printed firearms.
- Prohibit gun manufacturers and firearms dealers from selling pistols that can be quickly and easily converted into machine guns using common tools.
It occurs to some people there might be 1st Amendment issues with this, as well as 2nd Amendment:
“… [Sam Levy, the director of policy advocacy at Everytown for Gun Safety] said there’s “no question” that the regulation raises First Amendment issues but said the law’s proponents have “no desire to negatively impact or limit anyone’s free expression” or “ability to use these things in ways that don’t endanger public safety.” …”
Gun control advocates hate free speech and free expression because they cannot defend their dumb ideas under public scrutiny.
“… “This is ultimately asking tools not to work for the creator and go through a filter, a censorship filter,” Rory Mir, the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s director of open access and tech community engagement, told USA TODAY … Mir said the Electronic Frontier Foundation believes the law “isn’t tenable” but hopes officials will adopt the “least encumbering” restrictions if it moves forward. “We hope that this process is something that is done openly, transparently, and if it’s found to not be feasible, that they do make good on not moving it forward,” Mir said …”
The process will not be open or transparent and they will ride this horse into the ground just like they did with COBIS.
This whole thing is going to blow up in their faces just like it did in the 90s when the feds targeted Phil Zimmermann over PGP and encryption.
