I now know how much New Yorkers for Gun Safety<\/a> spent on\u00a0their ad campaign<\/a> back in early May: $400,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The PAC is controlled by Cuomo<\/a> and an examination of their disclosure report shows the bulk of their money came from a handful of wealthy, politically connected Democrat donors in Manhattan. \u00a0i.e. They’re just rich astroturf.<\/p>\n

Given their ads were a total flop and failed to both move the antigun agenda in Congress and raise Cuomo’s potential presidential profile, I wonder how they will remain in business before NYGS joins the ranks of other failed front groups like Americans for Gun Safety<\/a>, American Hunters and Shooters<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n
