    Hochul Signs Bill That Will Fine Fossil Fuel Companies $75 Billion to Pay For Damage Caused to Climate

    Weird. I thought natural gas was bad. You know, one of the most cost effective, reliable, and clean heating fuels. https://nypost.com/2025/02/16/us-news/kathy-hochul-steps-on-the-gas-amid-con-edison-rate-hike-furor/ EDIT: Oh, now I get it. Kickbacks. "The permit approval comes with $3.5...

    New House Bill Allows Everyone To Carry In New York Except People From New York

    If this passes, I predict the CCIA Part 2 will include that you can carry anyplace you can now, but your firearm needs to be a bolt action handgun with a 3 round mag- because if magazine capacity can be restricted to 10, why not 3?

    Legislative agenda for week of January 27

    I think that would be the best place for this law. It will ensure that only the assigned LEO can use the firearm. It's for his/her own safety. Once they prove that's reliable, then make it an OPTION for the rest of us. But... I won't buy one.

    A National Guardsman lost their rifle when it fell off a truck on a Delaware highway

    Seems like an odd way to transport 300 guns (in individual cases). And wow, 300 guns going to DC for the inauguration! https://taskandpurpose.com/news/national-guard-rifle-missing-found/

    Solar generator/ panels

    Ecoflow's support is fantastic. I had an issue with a solar generator not showing the correct run time for a medical device connected to my Delta 2. They gave me a full refund, paid for shipping back for the power station and spare battery, and gave me a great price on a larger unit and solar...

    So the "FBI Seizes More than 150 Finished Homemade Bombs from Virginia Home" but "Spafford is facing one count of possession of an unregistered destructive device and one count of possession of an unregistered short barrel rifle." What about the other 149 destructive devices?

    NY proposed requirement for criminal BG check to purchase 3d printer.

    Kind of off topic, but I haven't found a single folding knife on Amazon that can be shipped to NY, but throwing knives and axes are no problem at all.

    I wonder where this new Keltec 5.7x28 pistol stands with NY's Safe Act and CCIA ??

    According to the website, a pistol must have a detachable magazine to be scary. Nothing about on-board capacity is mentioned at all. I might need one of these. https://gunsafety.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2021/01/pistols_banned_features.pdf

    I wonder where this new Keltec 5.7x28 pistol stands with NY's Safe Act and CCIA ??

    I expect stripper clips to be redefined as detachable magazines. Or detachable magazines to have a new definition.

    NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Responds to Subway Safety Concerns: Crime Surge ‘Cannot Continue’

    You guys are looking at this all wrong. The people pushing people in front of trains were jumping the turnstiles, costing the MTA money. Now they'll have to pay the fee before pushing someone in front of a train. Everything will be good now.

    NY proposed requirement for criminal BG check to purchase 3d printer.

    I think my son might be a criminal. He used a 3D printer in shop class in high school. I feel better getting that off my chest. Does anyone have the phone number to red flag him?

    NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Responds to Subway Safety Concerns: Crime Surge ‘Cannot Continue’

    "Hochul said her methods are “helping police solve crimes even faster,” I'm sure the woman who was burned to death and everyone who has been killed by being pushed in front of a moving train are really happy about this. It's much better to solve a crime than to prevent one in the first place.
