Despite this notice<\/a> from ILA<\/a>, the bill to legalize silencers S-1290A<\/strong><\/a> is not going to see it.<\/p>\n

The legislature is scheduled to go into recess in two weeks.\u00a0 This is the time of year where Republicans try to justify their existence to gun owners by asking committees to consider some of their bills.\u00a0 Even if Senate EnCon<\/a> moves the bill to Rules<\/a>, I do not believe there is sufficient support in the upper chamber for it to pass, let alone move it through the Assembly<\/a> and have Governor Cuomo<\/a> sign it.<\/p>\n

The Republicans do not have the ability to make political deals on pro-gun legislation (or much of anything else) anymore even if they wanted to, which they don’t.\u00a0 This is political theater, nothing more.<\/p>\n
