When I went in the military at age 18 back in 1963 I was proud to be a "New Yorker" and even more proud to be an American. I know my dad who flew in B-24's in WW-II felt the same way and I'm sure my buddies who lost their lives in Viet Nam felt the same way. I now feel disgusted when I see our country peddling so-called "democracy" to other countries as though we are some kind of "standard barer". The socialist regime that parades itself as "progressive" now running the country is destroying every vestige of respect other countries as well as our own concerned citizens have for America. The fact that our own President doesn't follow the U.S. Constitution or believe it is a valid document governing today's situations in favor of a more "global" view is an insult to our forefathers as well as all Americans. We are in a fight for our very lives in terms of the Constitutional issues currently being assailed by our own government both here in New York and the U.S. in general. The gun control issue is quite "secondary" in this sense and is merely a vehicle to push their agenda and even the "anti-gun nuts" should be very disturbed by the current tactics being used by our out of control government. Unfortunately the mass media, the "out of contact with reality" citizens and the self-serving re-election obsessed politicians at the state and federal levels are currently in absolute control of the "machinery" of change. This situation is really about Obama and his cronies view of the need for a new "world order" which doesn't include us. What he really is referring to when he repeatedly says We the people" is "We the government" it has absolutely nothing to do with the citizenry. I apologize for the rant but it is probably necessary in the way of ulcer prevention as I've never been so upset in my life.

Interesting situation - I overheard a guy today who has a 9 mm Sig 228 discussing the new law and his pistol came with (2) 13 round magazines. He said that when he tried to order new 10 round magazines over the Internet that they won't ship them to New York State. The 10 round magazine is the smallest that is made for the gun and the gun s no longer manufactured as it was replaced by the P229 so basically his $800 plus gun is useless. Unreal!

You folks need to hear this lady speak from a unique perspective....VERY powerful!

My dad got me into my first fish when I was 4 years old. Despite 60 plus years of fishing and thousands of fish caught afterward I still remember that first fish (12 inch smallmouth caught on a crab) :>) I got my son into ice fishing for the first time at 2 1/2 years (for a brief time of it) Then at 3 yrs he caught his first rainbow and this is a pic at 8 yrs. with his first 30 pound chinook. He is still my fishing partner after more than 30 years. Bobber just said it all!

NOTE: When I downloaded the above GUN FACTS PDF there was a trojan horse attached to or embedded within the file (PSW.Generic10.BHJA) and my anti-virus dealt with it. It could be a false read by the program but I just wanted all to know it is a possibility given the nature/popularity of the topic.

On his TV speech about the gun law Cuomo stated that "New York is now the safest state in the country as a result of this legislation".....what a sorry joke! It really shows how out of touch and naive these people are that are supposedly making decisions "in our best interest" and on "our behalf". The actual problems of illegal gun possession, criminal acts relating to use of guns, and mental problems and domestic situations leading to violence and the use of guns are so far beyond the scope of capabilities of the inept state government that their only resort is to attack the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens because we are "reachable" and the general public is so naive, ill-informed, and uninformed that they accept this charade as "legitimate constructive action" toward solving these problems.

One of my friends asked me where I thought his old Mossberg 22 LR tube fed semi auto rifle would be classified. I didn't have an answer because everything I have read says detachable magazine....and even the old lingo refers to preban MAGAZINES as far as the 15 shot capacity goes....anyone have a for sure answer?

Last night I wrote a lengthy letter to the N.Y.S. Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb He is actively involved in this issue and voted against it so folks may wish to send him your comments for starters. Here is his email address: [email protected] P.S. Even the anti-gun people should be upset about this as it is is an infringement on everyone's rights when the government makes its own decisions affecting the citizenry and the opportunity for input, commentary, or due process is aborted. This was decided behind closed doors and then rammed down the legislatures throat by the governor essentially thwarting any input that would be truly representative of the people of the state (either way)....that is exactly what totalitarian states do to their citizenry.

Looks like the legal challenge is already underway http://www.wktv.com/news/local/Attorney ... 51321.html

I imagine that the next nail in the coffin will now come from ODRAMA in an executive order at the Federal level Hooray for democracy!

Isn't it interesting that these are the same jamokes that can't pass a budget on time or enact meaningful legislation other than "State Pickle Day" and yet in a couple days vote, pass and have signed legislation this important and all without the ability of the public to comment on it or be a part of it....great day for democracy... so glad I served in the military representing New York State. The Founding Fathers would be beside themselves if they were witnessing what is happening to our country.
