    Hochul says buy our regulated, highly taxed weed because it’s safer and more socially equitable

    I don't have any facts to back it up, but isn't most 'illegal' weed sold by minorities? If so, doesn't that already make it socially equitable?

    D.A. Bragg, Senator Hoylman and Assemblymember Rosenthal Announce New Legislation To Combat Proliferation of 3D Guns

    "New York is continuing our fight against gun violence by making manufacturing 3D-printed guns and ghost guns illegal." Thank God. Since the law making it illegal to possess 'ghost guns' didn't work, this will surely take care of the problem!

    Lasers on handguns?

    I used to have a laser on my nightstand handgun. It had the buckshot pattern below. I think it would be pretty intimidating for someone to see that on their chest. I took it off when I changed to a TRL-7 and red dot. I was going to go with a TRL-8 but couldn't get myself to spend the extra...

    Use Marijuana? No Guns for You

    It's funny that when the D's are in charge they don't make weed legal federally, even though they seem to think it's important. Kind of like how the R's treat carry reciprocity...

    Federal suppressor ban and buy back introduced, no you won’t be able to keep ‘em

    In the article: “Gun silencers are devices designed for a very specific purpose – to suppress the sound of gunfire from unsuspecting victims and reduce the chances they can run, hide, take cover, and call the police during an active shooter situation,” said Sen. Menendez in a press release...

    3 students try to shoot and kill middle school boy on school bus in Maryland

    I have a few comments: 1- Who would have thought you could get a pistol permit at that age in Maryland? 2- At least they were wearing masks. Covid is still a thing, you know. 3- Love that 'Biden-Harris' sign in the union president's office. 4- They probably should send that gun back to the...

    The IRS is hiring special agents prepared to use 'deadly force' if needed and is paying up to $95,000

    "Applicants must be US citizens, aged between 21 and 37." Isn't that age discrimination? All they're doing is "investigating financial crimes'.

    Submachine gun and semi-automatic handgun seized and two arrested

    "A check of the vehicle revealed a “MAC-10” style submachine gun with an extended magazine on the back seat. That weapon and the Ruger handgun recovered in Mount Vernon, were later determined to be stolen." So the guns weren't on the suspect's pistol permit?

    At least 20 injured, multiple dead from shooting at Alabama Sweet-16 birthday party

    The two arrested are 16 and 17. The gun control people were complaining that Alabama recently dropped the age to carry to 18: Concealed Carry in Alabama. I guess these two guys identify as 18?

    Nys board of education says no more Indian names or images used for team mascots

    But it was ok last winter for NYS to have billboards along I81 that said 'Be a road warrior, plow for NYSDOT'? Isn't the state appropriating 'warrior'?

    Man Found with Weapon in Wally Worlds Parking Lot Oneida, he was in his car.

    It would have been more accurate if the article were titled 'Off-duty cop spots man with gun in stolen vehicle in CNY Walmart parking lot'. I like how the stolen vehicle part was an afterthought.

    Biden’s Push for “Smart Guns” Is Quietly Taking Shape Apr. 16, 2023

    HJ RES 7 ~~~ the Covid-19 pandemic is officially over

    I miss those signs on the highway.... Now it's just stuff about accidents ahead, road work, wear your seatbelt, don't drink and drive, and other stuff so much less important than wearing a mask. At least there are still used masks in parking lots to take me back to a better time.

    Any one have opinions on urban carry holsters?

    I have the LockLeather holster you linked to, but mine is for a Hellcat. I've only worn it a few times as I just got it, but I do like it. You can adjust the retention loose enough that the leather is the only thing holding the gun, to so tight that you'll never get the gun out of the holster...

    Bill in NYS could push minimum wage to $21.25/hour by 2026 and then increase with inflation every year

    Hochul to crack down and increase fines for illegal weed dispensaries

    I'm no genius, and I have no desire to smoke weed, but I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be an issue if the state actually made it legal and treated it (and taxed it) like any other product available at a store.

    According to a Loyola professor, your pantry may be rooted in racism

    Kathy Hochul wants you and I to pay for actors and directors salaries if they shoot movies in NYS

    Huh, I thought the actors and directors were paid from profits that the shows and movies they make. I guess using Hochul's line of thinking, tax dollars should subsidize everyone's salary if they work in NY.

    ‘Fruit stops’ should screen out expanded-magazine guns

    "Gov. Gavin Newsom was clearly correct when he lamented that no matter how strong California gun laws become, they can be thwarted by folks who visit other states to buy weapons not available here." Sounds to me like they should put up a wall around CA and not let anyone in or out.

    Nys local officials petition the state to close roadways down differently in severe weather events

    Since highways are easier to keep plowed than city streets, it seems like the last roads to close should be highways. In my area, I usually don't have to shift to 4WD until I get into the city.
