Edit: The original proposal was to drop the age to 12 to hunt with a gun in EnCon bill A-3008C/S-2508C. That was removed. What passed in a different bill A-3005C/S-2505C was a 2-year pilot program for 12 year old to hunt deer with a gun north of Westchester. They stuck that under criminal...
The state legislature passed EnCon budget bill A-3008C/S-2508C.
Contrary to the claims of people who didn't keep up with current events, provisions relating to lowering the hunting age have been removed.
It's clear the Dems are having problems with the gun control agenda. Schumer is throwing stuff to the wall to see what sticks. The antis are desperate for a win and will take anything to maintain a semblance of relevancy.

Elections have consequences. As with others, there was an opportunity to knock Mimi out in last year's primary. Nobody did anything, therefore nobody gets to complain.
Senate EnCon advanced the bill.
During the meeting Sen. Patty Ritchie asked if the bill was for both rifles and shotguns (Yes). She said she heard from her constituents regarding the shortage of ammunition and asked if there was any “grandfather clause.” The response was the bill would take...

Yes, it's a long shot but I like Rob and it's not as if we have a lot of material to work with. My people tell me he's going to run again and is looking for support so I'll plug his campaign unless something better comes along.
Rob Astorino is planning on making another run for Governor next year and is looking for support. He did run as pro-gun back in ’14 and had not he been screwed over by Senate Republicans I believe he could have knocked out Gov. Cuomo.

Because I know Orrt is doing the same thing Republicans have done for decades. They automatically get the same bills reintroduced year after year then do nothing. They don't talk it up, they don't put on political theater with supporters in the Well, they make no effort to move it. The antis...
There was an opportunity last year to knock Fat Jerry out in the primary. Nobody did a thing. Therefore nobody gets to complain about anything he does.
Because that would require the allegedly pro-2A groups to admit their incompetence and impotence has led to the current political state whereby elected officials feel free to inflict one 2A abuse after another without fear of reprisal.
