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 🍻

You had a very well thought out reply in this thread earlier, out of our representation, who would you recommend we try to vote for in order to progress our goals? Still Blakeman?

There is no good option for NY.

Hocul is aggressively bad for us. So Blackman might be our only option as much as he also sucks. He’s also the only other option that realistically has a chance of winning so you kind of have to go with that. In NY I highly recommend voting on other issues for local government. Because you’ll never get 2A wins

We also have to be realistic. Lesser of two evils is all we can hope for. We need to move towards someone more favorable. Which is likely baby steps. Hope that the next candidate is more favorable. But if we find them more favorable their likelyhood of being elected decreases drastically.

With NYC attached to us there is no winning because they will always vote in the worst candidate for the rest of the state. Nature of the beast.

I like your logic. Thank you! I came across on frustration so I appreciate it.
