he chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators vowed there will be a showdown on Jan. 9 over whether a gun and knife show can take place at the County Center in White Plains, as reported here earlier by Daily Voice.

"I support the Second Amendment, but it doesn't have to be at the County Center," BOL Chairman Michael Kaplowitz, a Democrat from Somers, said on Tuesday.

Kaplowitz accused Republican County Executive Rob Astorino of quietly lifting his ban on gun shows to allow the Jan. 21-22 gun and knife show at the County Center "in a play for Upstate support" -- assuming Astorino attempts a third bid for governor.

"It doesn't play well in Westchester County," Kaplowitz told Daily Voice.

Kaplowitz said he has enough votes to pass a gun show ban at the next meeting of the 17-member county legislature. "We are drafting legislation for the Jan. 9 meeting. I am pretty confident we have the nine votes to pass it," Kaplowitz said.

Unfortunately fighting 2A is not a negative in westchester.

How ridiculous is it to say I support the 2A but not at the county center. How about saying that about the 1A? Maybe the can draw a chalk outline around the CC and call it a safe space?

In the Liberal Wonderland of Westchester, being anti-2A plays just fine....unfortunately.

Those officials that are anti-2A here are content to be big fish in a little pond. Their positions will not affect their careers in this godforsaken constitutional wasteland.

I was taught that this type of sentence is that of bullshitters.

You know you would have our votes and complimentary security detail. Plus some of the sicker minds on here can create some pretty good slander ads.

Keep thinking your the little fish and you will be. You will never win a battle you already admit defeat to. The country has made a statement in this past Historic election. The statement was we will not tolerate corruption and one way government. Stand up and fight spread the word or remain defeated in your mind. Orange County was the same way 25 years ago but we fought to get it changed. Fight fight fight don't give up.

Here is my email to him.

Mike, I recently read an article regarding the Westchester County Gun Show, and your opposition to it. Its always an indicator to hear someone start a sentence with "I support the 2nd Amendment, BUT...". You see, it doesn't work that way. You either do or you don't, and clearly you do not.

As a home owning, tax paying resident of the 4th District, I would expect you to uphold our Constitutionally protected rights, and not just the ones you like. I was looking forward to attending the Gun Show with my wife and children, and spending money in our county to invest in ourselves, so I hope you reconsider your position on the Gun Show.

In fact, while I am writing, I would like to see proposed legislation to oppose the NY UNSafe Act of 2013.

Patriotically,

Jon Gibson






I urge everyone to email this guy if you can, and your own representatives in wastechester too.

NOT NYS!!
Why do these 2A stealing assholes think that by starting their sentence with:
"I support the 2nd Amendment, BUT....."
that we can't see right through their lying??!!

I would much rather have the dickhead say:
I am going to trample all over the 2nd Amendment, because I do not support it!!

I certainly would have real hatred for this person, but there would be a bit of respect for them having the balls to tell me where they stand!!

What if they were trying to block a gay pride event? Or black lives matter? Or some alternative art exhibit? The disgusting confidence of that political hacks statement makes me sick. And I'm right on board with the "I support the 2nd amendment but..." bullshit. Fuck every asshole that ever has said or will say that. Substitute any other right into that sentence and see how that goes.

Huh? I was referring to our elected officials. They are anti-2A because they are in the Liberal Progressive Utopia of Westchester. They can get away with being anti-2A because most of their electorate thinks likewise. Even the Republicans down here are Leftists.

As far as the last election...Westchester was solidly blue (65% voted for Clinton, 71% voted for Schumer).

As far as fighting, I do it in my own way. I jump through hoops and acquire as many tools and supplies as I see fit. I see every permit amendment as a middle finger aimed squarely at my county officials.

Sorry my post was not directed directly at you but just a statement of how a fight needs to go. I guess what i am saying is it was encouragement to never let up from Political BS.
