How The Coronavirus Is Changing NYC's 2A Community

From the article:

"Markowicz tells me that she has noticed one interesting phenomenon: left-leaning New Yorkers who’ve previously been just fine with the city’s draconian gun control laws, but are now ticked off that the process of acquiring a firearm for home defense can take months and cost hundreds of dollars in fees. Even as the coronavirus has claimed businesses like John Jovino’s Gun Shop and left others like the Westside Range clinging to life support, Markowicz believes that the new demand for firearms among New Yorkers could ultimately have a positive impact on gun culture, and perhaps even gun laws in the city."

Nice thought but good luck with that...If the furher can kill thousands of Seniors...Gun control is a snap for him

By a positive impact they mean two months ago 96% of people in NYC hated guns and were fine with the laws and today 94% of those assholes have yet to change their minds. So we gained 2% support. Yeah!!

You guys might disagree but I think if another outrage(like the one in Minnesota) but this time in NY were to happen even 1 where the public are causing riots and burning up ship, the residents of NYC might truly see gun control for what it really is.

CNN and NYT will make sure the gun haters stay on point. Not until people are being dragged out of cars or homes being randomly entered by crowds of hooligans will you see a real change, because when cops have retreated and crowds are moving through your neighborhood looking for victims nobody is going to save you but yourself.

I agree and IF they attempt entry without permission and with intent to harm......I think that would be a poor decision on their part.

Why did the Mayor and Govenor let this open lawless crowd get away with this ? Not pointed out by cnn is the crowd is a mixture of races...not all minority...but that wouldn't fit their agenda

There’s a lot of guns in NYC legal or not but I believe if there were more ranges and less gun control we’ll be able to see them more. At the moment only time you’ll see a firearm is in the news or if the police was involved in a shooting.

My range, one of two on Staten Island, has over 300 active members. Funny thing is I just got back from the post office to buy my money order to pay this year’s dues.

While I don’t disagree 100% they can see what’s happening in Minnesota so why would it happening closer make much of a difference.

Although I will agree with you just talked with my mom and dad and they are outraged by what’s going on here in NYS with corona and in Minnesota. My reply was why do you think I’m so well stocked. They said I see now and so does your brother. We will see though. Just monday I spoke to my dad about getting a pistol to carry and he said no he didn’t need one. He was a cop for 32-33 years so I don’t know??

300 isn't a lot.

We have ranges up here with that many members in towns with 1/1000th the population in the vicinity. And these are people who can shoot in their own back yard and don't *need* a range.

Trust me in 1 year or less they will be back to being Antigun.

True but keep in mind what hoops people have to jump through to own guns "legally" here and how much it costs. I know a lot of people who own guns but won't join because they don't want to do work parties and such as well.
