    Kamala Harris Says Freedom Means Banning AR-15s, National Gun Registry, & Red Flag Laws

    If 'freedom means banning', we should feel blessed to be so free with everything in our daily lives. No burden of having to deal with plastic bags. Gas cans that barely work. No styrofoam takeout containers. The list goes on.

    Troopers from Rochester arrest a 23-year-old for possession of a handgun

    GPS down?

    I used to boat on Skaneateles Lake when Clinton was in office. Every time he was in town, we could only get signal from one satellite, which couldn't give you position.

    Assembly Bill A705 -- Prohibits the sale of gasoline powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers

    This hasn't actually passed yet. Any politician who supports this doesn't take care of their own property. I do have battery powered tools where appropriate, but the number and size of lawns that I take care of can't be done without a gas or diesel mower. From the link in the article: NY...

    Congressman Joe Morelle authors legislation to keep stolen guns out of dangerous hands

    Joe Biden Beats His Dogs And Is Responsible For Attacks On Secret Service

    "In February 2024 Judicial Watch received 269 pages of records related to incidents of aggression by Commander, including at least 23 biting incidents." How many times would your dog have to bite someone before you were forced to put it down?

    NY to require warning signs in gun stores

    Maybe this is the law we needed all along to stop 'gun violence'. I'm sure they can make everything legal again and everyone will be happy.

    S-7365B, pistol converters, passed Senate

    "In recent years machine gun conversion devices---which can transform an ordinary pistol into an automatic weapon by allowing it to fire as many as 15 rounds in under two seconds---have proliferated across the country." Well in NY they can only fire 10 in less than 2 seconds.

    Assembly Bill A705 -- Prohibits the sale of gasoline powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers

    This is why I voted 'NO' on the proposal that 'everyone has the right to clean air and water'. I knew there was going to be something bad following right after it passed.

    Ban .50 cal rifles in America to prevent cartel violence (in Mexico?)

    Hochul says anti-gun violence programs have led to dramatic drop in shooting incidents statewide

    If the numbers are true, it's probably because they finally arrested (and jailed) the small number of dirtbags who were committing the bulk of the crimes. Nothing to do with the effort, just a coincidence.

    Convicted felon arrested with arsenal of weapons

    'Police said additional charges are expected and the investigation is continuing into how he acquired the weapons.' This should be pretty easy. He's required to have a handgun permit, all his handguns should be on his permit and in the NYSP database, and EVERY gun sold in NY requires a...

    Several Bronx men arrested for illegally possessing a loaded handgun in a vehicle following a traffic stop on the Thruway.

    'The men were arraigned before the Town of Greenburgh Court where they were released on their own recognizance. They are to reappear on May 7, 2024, at 9:00 a.m.' I wonder if they showed up.

    Pro-hamas protests breakout at UB with arrests

    "Earlier in the day a student walkout took place at Buffalo State University which was peaceful, calling for a ceasefire and for SUNY to divest any interest that they may have with Israel." First of all, what interest would a SUNY school have with Israel? Secondly, 'that they may have' means...

    The Trace and those charged with illegal possession

    If PA insists on having a permit to carry concealed, you can get one if you don't have a criminal record and it's only $20. If charging $20 is racist, or disproportionally affects certain groups, THE STATE can lower the cost to $0, or eliminate the permit requirement altogether. What's more...

    Bidenomics is a hit in swing states but polls show Trump ahead

    I'm a believer. I'm trying to buy a new vehicle. The cost of the same vehicle, same trim, same options, just this year's model is only $18,000 more than what I paid 5 years ago. Also, the lending rate from the same bank is 5% higher. This has to be good.

    The Texas National Guard has seized control of Eagle Pass / Update; Texas troopers have begun arresting illegals

    The funniest part about the states who support Texas is that NY and IL DON'T support Texas.

Strange how easily it could be fixed by closing the border, but NY and IL don't support the...
