Trusting Blakeman on the 2A is like trusting the NY Republicans who voted with Cuomo to make the safe act the law of the land. The urinalysis for a CCW in Nassau County was his brilliant idea.

He reminds me of a blonde bimbo that just got moved to a different position in the latest administration. She too, was all about the 2A, until she wasn`t. She though, was taking alotta heat, had to move her and get ready to install a worse one. Kinda like what we`re headed for, here in NYS.

So what’s the option? Seriously?
I will say I don’t trust him at all on this, but he’s better than Hochul and the democrats. So what’s do we do? Do we toss away our vote when it is possible Hochul will lose or do you vote for Hochul then? Maybe we vote for him and that’s better than the alternative. This is the decision we make often, sad but true.
I said it in the beginning of this thread I believe and I’ll say it again. I don’t give a shit if he’s a dried up dog turd , if he’s running against huckleberry I’m voting for him. I don’t know what will happen, if anything regarding 2A in this gulag seeing as he’s just one of a handful against a demon RAT super majority but I never was a one issue voter anyhow .

Not that I have a dog in this hunt, but politicians that align with me on that one particular issue seem to align with a lot of my other beliefs as well.
I consider 2a rights to be a pretty solid bellwether for a representative.

Spot on brother.... it ALL sucks, just gonna have to pick the one who stinks a little less.
Seems that`s what we do now when voting for the lesser turd of the stench, because they ALL, stink.
Even if we get a republican in, we end up with lame duck disease.
The demOrat`s won`t give a republican anything, but at least, it slows the demOdiseaser`s down.
Here's my take.
We know what we have with hochul the horrible. She is an unqualified shape shifting political amoeba that will do anything her handlers tell her to retain power.
She is very much ANTI 2a.
It's clear. Very clear. She's terrible for gun rights amongst many other things.
I don't know anything about that other fella.
He's probably just as bad and is lying to us to get elected just like everyone else does. However there might be like a 2% chance he's being authentic and genuinely will improve our situation.
In this case I would vote for the devil I don't know, over the devil we already know.
And to keep things in perspective.... There was a time in 2012 when hochul received an A rating from the NRA for gun rights. Yup I bet most people forgot about that. All pandering lies. She has no moral compass and would sell her soul to get power.
Hochul endorsed by National Rifle Association
Given that, she's a complete failure on ever level, I would vote for the other fella expecting to be let down and angry with a sliver of hope he would improve our situation.

Blakeman will not be the State's savior, his performance in Nassau is nothing to brag about, but things will be significantly worse under Hochul,... especially with the suck ass AG we are likely stuck with, a blue State Senate, and a likely veto proof progressive liberal Assembly.
By all measures and by a significant margin Hochul is worse for every taxpaying law abiding citizen than Blakeman.

At least blakemen can slow the progression of things and if he’s not horribly corrupt can maybe point out some corruption. Of course it’s all speculative and I expect little good to come of Blackmen is elected. However, if Hochul is elected I expect a lot of damage. Blackmen is within striking distance so it makes little sense to not support him and give him a try. We know what Hochul is about, and it’s all bad.

I don’t think anyone is this states savior. I’m not sure it is savable. I’ll take slowing down stealing our rights and money.
Perhaps I've written it before, but Blakeman is about a "C" when it comes to pro-gun issues, while Hochul is an "F" so don't get the idea he's anything more than a politician willing to say or do anything to get into power.
BTW: Elise Stefanik went into the Republican Party and said she'd run for Governor IF they didn't primary her, she had a 12 million Dollar war chest and the unquestionable ability to raise another eight, but then this self-aggrandizing fucktard from the Island decided HE was the best option, and She not only would not blow the money on a Primary, but refused to run for re-election to Congress.
Only reason why we have Ed Cox in charge of the NY Republican Party is because NO ONE else would take it, which is sad and pathetic...perhaps that's the best way to describe Ed.

You gave Hochul THAT much of a good grade? Dude, you gotta lay off the "kindness pills" these days!
As of right now, we really have absolutely no choice. We`re gonna have to vote "R" no matter who it is at this point.
If a "R" wins this time, at least i`ll know that my wife an i will have left this shit-hole communist fucking state with a "RED" win.
At least my wife & i can help y`all slow the bleeding out, while we pack the fuck up and get fuck outta this communist shit-hole soon!

So what about all those 2A first 100 day plans ???
They didn`t seem to make THIS list.
What about all the property and school taxes that are forcing people out of this shit-hole state ???

I’m not being a jerk but it doesn’t matter what his 2a plans are. The legislature will be so heavily democrat he can’t do that. He’s posting his plans that everyone can agree on and if the dems say no he has them. These are something everyone can support.

I`ll help you all out by voting for whoever the "R" is as i`m on my way out of this shit-hole state. But yup, you`re right, he ain`t gonna get anything done, so at this point, its a vote to help ease the bleeding out, yet you`ll still bleed out from all the other demOrats sticking the knives in you. Other than that, he`s a city slicker that whispers sweet nothings to get your vote. That`s what politicians, do. They want the brass ring and the money.

I fled New Yorkistan for Union County (adjoining Mecklenburg County / Charlotte on the southeast side of Charlotte) in 2018. And there is an awful lot to love in NC over NY!WAIT, is South Carolina better than North Carolina? My wife an i already lived in NC, and hated it.
Met a great woman (a true Southern Belle, and a pistol packing mama to boot) who lived in SC (York County,- just outside Charlotte to the southwest side), and moved over to SC in 2023.
And yes,- I think things here in SC are even BETTER than in NC!
What didn’t you like about NC, and where are you now?

Sounds like you got a great woman there! I don`t think a guy could ask for more than that if she`s a packin mama! Very happy for ya man!!!
Wife an i are still up here in central upstate NY, planning our exit now, and as soon as she retires from her job, which is very very soon, we gone! She has already started her SS & medicare. We lived near Greensboro NC many decades ago. Without the details, it just wasn`t our cup of tea so to speak, we`d never move back there ever again.
My shootin buddie is moving to South Carolina. He`s retiring this year, they`ve already had the reality company give them an appraisal on their home. He is still traveling down there again shortly to lock in a deal on another place they looked at. His son moved there last summer, found a place for him and his mom to possibly buy. So as soon as he gets things in order up here NY, he and his wife, gone! He says he can`t wait to leave this NYS shit-hole.
