Just Another Day at the Office for NY Lawmakers

[Redmanss]

If its a dead issue then why are all the dealers in the area talking about it and other threatening legislation? Someone I am close to in the State Police has acknowledged its existence again. Obviously with complete control of all branches of government why wouldn't they bring it up again? It's the general consensus in the LE and shooting community that Cuomo wants to rid NY of all guns and gun owners and will approach every feasible angle to do so.

The NYS Legislature has a website with all pending bills and their status for the 2019-2020 sessions. Feel free to post the link of the current bill(s) so everyone can be fully informed of it, who the sponsors are, and all NY voters can contact their representatives as may be appropriate.

Me personally, I'm just sitting out here in Wyoming shaking my head at everyone living along the coasts, and hoping the polar glacial melt hurries the fuck up because I want some fresh from the ocean shrimp without having to drive so damn far into occupied territory to catch it.

Enjoy your life in Wyoming. Not everyone has the choice to just pick up and leave the state their entire life revolves around. Just because it isn't a pending bill on the legislative website doesn't mean it isn't being talked about.

This is how we roll in NY

Albany, NY - Opponents of New York’s new gun laws are demanding answers about how Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York state Legislature can rush bills into law with little time for anyone to even read the bill.
The NY Safe Act was passed with no hearings, no testimony, no time for opponents to make a case to their legislators.
It’s not the first time a controversial bill was turned into a midnight emergency.
Others include same-sex marriage, pension reforms, requiring annual teacher evaluations, and, in some years, the entire state budget. It was an emergency to pass tax credits for brownfields clean-up, which had the unintended consequence of paying the Destiny USA developers $56 million in public money for a clean-up project that experts say could not have cost more than $1 million.
The New York State Constitution gives governors a tool to use to get a law passed as soon as enough legislators say yes and before anyone else can get to them. In the case of gun laws, it has angered the public like no other rushed bill. But creating emergency legislation is a time-honored practice in Albany.
Bill Mahoney, researcher at New York Public Interest Research Group, pulled together a list of the 415 times a “message of necessity” has been used to pass something the state deemed an “emergency.”

While I agree that the Sheriffs may not comply and were pretty outspoken about it, make no mistake the State Police are not so understanding as they have to answer to Cuomo and officers fresh out of the academy are taught all about the SAFE ACT and what to look for.

Enjoy your life in Wyoming. Not everyone has the choice to just pick up and leave the state their entire life revolves around.

Every free man has the choice, they just fail to make the choice. I left a whole lot behind when I moved back west, including my two teenage kids who still live with their mother in Maryland, so don't think I'm just talking out my ass. I don't sit idly by and let my rights get trampled by crooked politicians while I pay them thousands upon thousands in taxes to belittle and enslave me. I leave. Same as I left a cheating wife at the cost of my kids and hundreds of thousands worth in possessions and assets, same as I left 14 years of active duty time in the Marine Corps rather than continue to be their whipping post recruiter boy in the middle of a war. I actually vote with my feet when it comes to my morals, often to my financial detriment, but I can assure you I sleep like a baby at night.

Just because it isn't a pending bill on the legislative website doesn't mean it isn't being talked about.

Absolutely true, but discussing expired legislation like it's still actively being debated is foolish.

My point was to get the facts straight, contact your reps and senators to oppose any future similar legislation, but spreading word on an old bill without stating the full facts of it just makes us look like we have zero understanding of the legislative process and gives the elitist left more ammo that we don't know what we're talking about. Very similar to the old addage of "Think, then speak", thinking also means to research and be informed, then get vocal.
