NYAGV gets a huge payout

[gunpoliticsny]

Gun control advocates will get a huge payout from the state according to this press release from the Governor:

“Governor Kathy Hochul today announced more than $6.3 million in federal funding that will allow seven programs in Brooklyn and Manhattan and Albany, Erie and Onondaga counties to expand their anti-gun violence work and increase critical services for victims and families. Administered by the New York State Office of Victim Services, the two-year grants will fund outreach staff to connect with victims and families, crisis responders, licensed social workers and other staff, as well as training, equipment and emergency funding for essential items such as clothing, housing and transportation expenses … Governor Hochul’s extension of Executive Order 211 allowed the Office of Victim Services to streamline its application process and work directly with programs interested in obtaining the funding. The following organizations will receive $6.36 million over two years: … New Yorkers Against Gun Violence (Manhattan): $580,000 … Office of Victim Services staff continue to work with other programs eligible for Community Violence Intervention Act funding and the agency is slated to award additional grants … New Yorkers Against Gun Violence are receiving OVS grants for the first time …”

I would rather see that cash flow go towards actually punishing those criminals that use guns to commit crimes rather than this crap.

If I'm reading this correctly; they want criminals committing crimes to give people government jobs.

I'm wondering if we can all hound them and reach out to the NYS Office of Victim Services saying we are getting raped by FUKH on laundering tax payers money? Maybe they can pay our transportation expenses... lol

This is nothing more than window dressing where all of the funds will go towards bill-boards and nothing more. Most of the funds will likely go towards salary and expenses of course.

The roads are driving me NUTS. Rt17 to work is literally deteriorating more each day. There are spots where you have to pick the best pothole, because you're going to hit one of them.

Every other state seems able to maintain their roads. I guess NY spends our money on more important things.

Most of that money will end up back in the pockets of the politicians after being laundered through some lobbiests.

"Anti-gun politicians in Albany have given $6.3M to NYAGV to reduce gun violence. When asked how they would do this they replied 'by contributing to the campaigns of anti-gun politicians of course"....

What will they do with the $ once NY is declared "Shall Issue" by SCOTUS?!

Will they provide training for legal firearm owners as support for those exercising their right(s)?

I would imagine if the State is supporting one side of the discussion they would also need to channel finds to the other, or by example, be complicit is creating a special class of citizen!
