New York Democrats are touting how they’re ramming through the strictest gun control legislation in the United States. Forget towns like Ilion and the people who work for Remington Arms, those New Yorkers don’t count. Neither do all of the law abiding citizens that will now be considered felons unless they jump through bureaucratic hoops. Anything to keep people from thinking about the economy or the productive citizens who are fleeing this state in droves.
Anyway, I found this open letter to “Andrew the Pius” at iOTW and thought I’d share it with you. If you live in another state, thank your lucky stars. Well, at least for the time being.
Dear Andrew the Pius:
I know that hollering about guns makes for good TV, but it doesn’t exactly improve the state of the State or in any way advance a pro-business, pro-economic growth agenda for the State of New York. But good theater aside, I pulled out my copy of the US Constitution and for the life of me, I cannot find the “deer hunting” clause of the Second Amendment. Perhaps I need a law degree like you to parse the wording in order to decode its meaning enough to see the “deer hunting” clause of the Second Amendment. Because on its face, the Second Amendment says nothing about hunting of any kind.As we enter a new exciting phase in the State’s long, storied history, this the “Near Bankrupt Phase,” I am surprised at how little your State of the State Address seemed to care about the fact that businesses in New York are doing one of three things – relocating to more business-friendly states, downsizing the number of people employed in order to avoid the onerous costs of Obamacare, or just going out of business in general.
New York State has more people per capita on public assistance than it does people who pay the taxes to finance public assistance. This makes this state a grim place to invest.
Read the whole thing. Then read the lame response the writer received from Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli, who at least sent a response, which is better than Senator Dave Valesky can say. Valesky was my state senator before redistricting. I can’t say I’m disappointed that he no longer “represents” me.
@lonelycon Believe me. I know exactly how you feel. CA has the same stench.

If you REALLY want to know what is going on. read Joyce Malcolm “Guns and Violence”. Chapter 5. What Cuomo and the rest are doing is right out of the Blackwell Committee of 1918, and its support in the House of Lords. Naturally they claimed that a huge crime wave existed. There was no crime wave. They said “if it saves one life”. All must keep records. It was now up to the Police who gets to have a gun.
It was passed at 10:49 pm – at night, with a few minutes before adjourning. Only a handful were given the bill to read. (sound familiar). They claimed that you have elections and Parliament and courts, and thus NO NEED for weapons. Thus a RIGHT became a PRIVILIGE – at the WHIM of the Home Office and the police. Then the Home Office sent CLASSIFIED directives to police chiefs about who can have weapons. Are you getting the picture ?
Actually, one reason they wanted the law was to deal with Labor unrest. It was also done INCREMENTALLY. First get the law. Then say it needs to be ‘improved’, until you get what you have today – you can’t even defend yourself in your own home. Whose side are they on, anyway ? And BOTH sides were doing it. On page 135: “The protection not of natural rights but of social and political ORDER – equated with the state itself – was elevated into law’s primary objective.”
So. Everything these creeps are doing is Right Out Of the English Playbook. This is the socalled PROGRESSIVE agenda. You see it all over comments at Lib websites. The same arguments, the same rhetoric, the same propaganda, the same legal malarkey, and the same desire to DISARM the people. That is why they do not have any respect for the Constitution.
My suggestion is that Nadler, Feinstein, Bloomberg, Silver and Cuomo all should be DEPORTED to England so they can live with the conseqences.

The was a time when Nadler, Feinstein, Bloomberg, Silver and Cuomo would have been ridden out of town on a rail, perhaps even tarred and feathered.
Sadly, the type of mindset and individual that would do such a thing to a lying, scheming, conniving, freedom-stealing piece-of-crap politician no longer exists in our more “civilized” big cities.
What a shame.

Sighs… So sad. Those are the same type of responses I got from most of the wonderful state legislators I wrote when urging them to vote against sweeping smoking bans specifically because they were an unjustified assault on private property owners’ rights. They were pretty much all pre-written form letters telling me how grateful I should be that they were working so hard to ensure our ‘safety’. Everyone laughed at us and the slippery slope arguments that after you give up one ‘right’ then they have more time to attack others… Well, after the successful 5 cent ‘tax’ on bottles, Bloomberg’s attack on the Big Gulp, stop and frisk, the Patriot Act, the NDAA, warrantless wiretaps and surveillance, drone targetted killings worldwide, etc, when are people going to wake up?!?
These new laws will do absolutely nothing except show what the underlying problem really is, them being able to legislate away our rights through pervasive propaganda drowning out reasonable arguments on the airwaves and knee-jerk emotional reaction. Limiting magazine sizes only hurts law-abiding gun owners in their self-defense much more than those with criminal intent and is like cutting off your fingers before you need to dial 911. Like Bloomberg’s ban on Big Gulps… what the hell does that accomplish except making people order two instead of one?
What good are court cases when the defendent always has 30+ counts of violations stacked up against him and what does one more matter?
I firmly believe the truly insane people are the ones who are running the asylum. Though I’d love to deport them as physicsnut suggests, we do have to figure out an effective way to get the tyrants out and how to get sane, intelligent people in.

people NEVER wake up to a ‘boil the frog’ strategy. That is why they use it. That is how Australia banned guns. The control freaks want ORDER above LIBERTY.
There is a very telling video on RightScoop about what happens in Australia.
