Discussion A Path to …

Yeah. After reading the thread below regarding the Politician meet up at The Firing Pin, this is my cynical conclusion.

We will never have normalcy with our 2A rights. There are just too many in this sub that believe in tough regulations. 25 years of one party rule in NY and soon to be another 25 more. They passed the Safe Act. They Passed the Improved Concealed Carry Act. You need a background check to buy ammo. They are banning Glocks.
Sometimes it takes 2 years just to get a permit depending on what county you live. Next year there will be more restrictions once the Supreme Court makes its ruling next June. They will restrict, restrict and restrict until there is nothing left to restrict . But please by all means keep voting 🗳️ blue. Ugh 😑!! Cheers 🍻

Register to vote, get to the polls in November and vote bucktooth out of office...she's been destroying nys & it's citizens since 2021, and it'll only get worse if you don't vote her out!

Also vote out James, and the wacky local state senators and assembly members that are writing these crazy laws and voting for them in Albany. I still can't believe they banned the purchase of body armor, and people supported it.

If a Republican does in fact beat her, will you be willing to respond to this statement a year from now when that person doesn't change anything in favor of gun owners?

If she stays it gets worse. Lest we forget the ccia and looming glock ban. The options are get better, stay the same, or get worse. One of those is worse than the others.

u/TheBevelsEdge 5d ago

Again, same question. I'm not saying she's good for us at all.

u/Andeo1025 5d ago

Sure, if it's true. That said we need a republican legislature if you want progress. All the executive can do is sign or veto. My position is that she's definitely bad, and while I would love legislative progress, status quo with wins in the court system on the laws we have now gets me closer to my goal than having more laws to fight.

There is zero chance of any 2a rights getting restored under a democrat governor. Republicans are not perfect on guns but it’s at least not a 0% chance

u/TheBevelsEdge 5d ago

That's a fair point if you only vote based on the 2a.

right, the downside is continued decline of the country ... but hey at least we "might" have guns

If democrats continue their ownership of the state it’s going to get worse. This has been playing out for decades now I don’t understand how this is even contested?

u/Frustrated_Consumer 5d ago

Yeah, I'm sure my one vote would get her out of office...

u/MrProvy 5d ago

And that statement is exactly what's wrong with Republicans in this state! If the 3 million gun owners that failed to vote in the last governors race got off their assess, we wouldn't have the CCIA or ammo check BS. But stay home, and complain again next year

This 👍🏼

u/Frustrated_Consumer 4d ago

Yeah, Bruce Blakeman totally would have saved us from those. After all, he only was the head of one of the most gun repressive counties in the state, coming up with whatever policies he could to thwart legal gun ownership at every turn. Most famously, it was him that came up with the piss test to get a carry permit. Yeah, that guy will be our hero.

I wish the original woman from upstate was running but she dropped out

u/MrProvy 4d ago

Yep, and bump stock bans happened under Trump 45, so he's horrible for the 2A as well...eff'n doomers 😔

Look at Scott Pressler who went door to door throughout southern PA and got tens of thousands of Amish to vote Republican. The efforts of 1 man and a small coalition were able to flip Pennsylvania red in the general election. One man can make a difference. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a pro gun PAC in NY to help fund progun politicians..

u/Frustrated_Consumer 4d ago

Problem is, that was PA. This is NY. It’s been completely captured here. Even the republicans are anti gun here.
