NY Senate - Prepare to bend over, Ladies and Gents

[Bozo]

It's looking like the Independent Democratic Conference in the NY Senate is going to re-align itself with the mainline Democrats again, which will end Republican control of that body. With majorities in both houses and the governorship, Dems will be looking to enact all sorts of "progressive" lunacy. That presumably includes a lot more "Common-Sense" gun control legislation, if some of the ridiculous bills sitting in committee are any indication.

Get out now!

Telling us something new? Not that I see... Or are you trying to say the Republicans in this State are actually Republicans and not moderates who pretend to represent contrasting interests vs the Democratic Representation here in this State while consistently going along with their agendas?

Because in all my years, I haven't seen it yet! Just saying...

 

[VietnamEraVet]

If that happens, it will not be a surprise. And given SCOTUS’ refusal to grant Cert to Kolbe v Hogan on Monday, that undoubtedly sent a clear signal to the anti’s that they are now free to hit us with a mountain of BS gun regulations.

Cuomo must have shot a load all over himself at the prospect of signing more anti gun right crap. Ugh...

 

[PinkPanther]

And this is why the registration was implemented in the SAFE Act...

 

[Saltwater60]

We will have to see what happens. I hope they won't do anything too crazy, but it is NYS so I expect nothing less. I'm assuming they will go after AR's further and ammo restrictions.

 

[Karpteach]

Buy ammo NOW!!!
While you still can. It’s gonna be like Cali. You could buy no more than 200 rounds or something like this

 

[GOPerfect]

And... This of course is 100% the fault of the voters. Maybe more should get of their asses and vote each time. But they won't. They will stay home, wait for the results and bitch about it!

 

[Mosinitis]

All of these partisan prediction have a remarkable way of not materializing. Obama, Paterson, DiBlasio passed ZERO gun laws, which is more than I can say about most of their republican counterparts.

I think the problem is that 90 percent of the voters don't think you should have more than 200 rounds. That's an arsenal.

My cousin wears a MAGA hat. He always votes Republican is a fiscal conservative and says he's pro gun. When he saw one of my ammo boxes loaded up to the top with 9mm, he couldn't understand why I needed so much.

He's no fudd. Just ignorant. He's not a hunter or has ever served in the military. He has a Glock 19 but it's a home defense gun. In his mind he cannot understand why you would need more than a few boxes of ammo. When I give him scenarios, he just thinks I'm crazy.

Then you have the liberals of course. We are a minority. Nothing will change that no matter how hard we try.

I have known many that think similar.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Well, at least we'll get stabbed in the front this time.

My prostitution days are over. I heard @Darth is still available though

One word for you.....

While I agree with you, but look at what's happening now. More republicans than ever are talking gun control. I vote every time, but honestly I feel I waiste my time most times. Nothing changes, too much corruption, and they all lie. Supreme Court punts all the time on any gun control. Nothing will change until the money dries up and we as citizens stop finding the government. We need to stop paying taxes until they represent us.

If anything, I'd suspect a "list type" system like CA uses. Not on the lost? You can't buy.

Cuomo said he wanted full confiscation of assault weapons. That only didn’t happen because of the a Republican majority.

This is not true. Confiscation didn't happen because it had less chances of being upheld by the courts, not because republicans prevented it. This lie was used by NYGOP to pretend they did something. No one believed it then and no one believes it now.

Does he not go to a range to practice? As soon as I started going to a range I realized how much ammo I should have on hand. That plus the ammo shortage of a few years ago. I agree with karpteach. Time to start buying ammo. Better safe than sorry.

Confiscation has already happened of registered guns in NYC under David Dinkins, it was already a tried and true tactic when Cuomo said this statement via The NY Times: In the interview, Mr. Cuomo did not offer specifics about the measures he might propose, but, while discussing assault weapons, he said: “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”

He was asked during radio interview if this was a possibility. There was no attempt by him or anyone to put that into a bill. Can NYGOP do anything, besides lying about their record. CHRIST!!!

All of this was negotiated in the back room with Cuomo, Skelos, and Silver. You have no idea what was in the various drafts as all we ever saw was the final bill at 11pm on a Tuesday night.

 

[Cureforcancer]

NY competes with CA in progressive stupidity.
The very great mayority of Republicans in office in NYS are RINOS anyway...the very few who are not can not advocate too much conservatism as they end up losing their post (many rural areas excluded).

NYC runs the show in NY...always has.

Blue states will become bluer and Red states will become reder.

Your whole assertion is based on a blurp that this wasn't outside the realm of possibilities. He or anyone else never said that this was proposed or pursued.

 

[Burzum]

Yes, it is called the bulk of the Republican legislators and Supreme Court justices.

I don't buy that for a second.

UnSafe passed in spite of the Republican majority.

They'd take em all in a NY minute if they could and both parties would be ok with doing so.
