The Post-Standard reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/a> on Thursday invited Geddes Supervisor Manny Falcone<\/a> to bring a small group of gun owners to Albany to talk about the NY Safe Act.\u00a0 Falcone opposes the state’s new gun laws, but set his opinions aside Wednesday<\/a> when Cuomo came to announce $100 million investment of public dollars in an amphitheater and other major improvements to the town and village of Solvay …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why didn’t the Governor bother to do this before<\/span> passing SAFE?\u00a0 Because he thought he was on the winning side of the issue.\u00a0 Oops.<\/p>\n

“… Cuomo invited Falcone to bring a small group of gun rights advocates to sit down with him in Albany …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NYSRPA’s<\/a> office is literally right across the street<\/a> from the Legislative Office Building.\u00a0 Why hasn’t he called us?\u00a0 Because we’ll tell him things he does not want to hear.\u00a0 Plus, I know why he is doing this and it is not out of the goodness of his heart.<\/p>\n

A few weeks back Cuomo announced his support for legalizing crossbow hunting<\/a> in the state.\u00a0 This is a blatant attempt to get the “sportsmen” back on his side.\u00a0 Nevertheless, he got a bunch of Fudds<\/a> to go along with it and I am waiting for a press release to drop announcing what a great friend the Governor has been to hunters in the state because of it.<\/p>\n

Now he wants to a meeting with gun owners.\u00a0 When 12,000+ gun owners showed up on his doorstep<\/a> last year to protest he didn’t want to meet with any of them and made sure he was out of town that day.\u00a0 Two weeks ago he said in a radio interview<\/a> that anyone who supports gun rights should leave the state.\u00a0 What has happened in the last few days to change his opinion of gunnies?<\/p>\n
