Taking a Hard Left
Democrats Rally Behind New Yorker Jeffries to Succeed Pelosi as House Leader [More]
Emboldened by the “red wave,” are we?
We’re talking about a “gun sense candidate” who admits background checks are for registration and let (Freudian) slip his inspiration by a communist dictator.
I may just have to do an article as the furor for this totalitarian wannabe heats up…
Toy Story
New York: replica gun ban takes affect November 14 [More]
Do you think we should tell the “real reporters”?
I talked about tyrants of color before.
And long before that.

We’re the Only Ones Not Checking Out Alone Enough
Cop shoots 2 women before turning gun on self as New York AG takes over murder-suicide probe: police — Rochester murder-suicide shooting suspect identified as Greece Police Officer Tiffani Gatson [More]
Just think: If she hadn’t, she’d be empowered to enforce New York citizen disarmament edicts against you and me.
A Right Delayed
Attorney General James Releases Statement on Court Decision to Temporarily Keep New York’s Concealed Carry Gun Laws [More]
No surprise– they got a stay on Antonyuk v. Hochul.

We’re the Only Ones in Bad Form Enough
New York Police Making CCW Applicants Sign Warning Forms!?! [Watch]
Evidently in addition to:

GOA DEFEATS NY “CONCEALED CARRY IMPROVEMENT ACT” IN FEDERAL COURT [More]
And as David Kopel properly recognizes over at The Volokh Conspiracy:
Today’s 184-page preliminary injunction opinion in Antonyuk v. Hochul is the latest step in a challenge by Gun Owners of America, represented by Stephen Stamboulieh and Robert J. Olson.
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

A federal judge for the second time in two weeks has blocked a state ban against concealed weapons in places of worship from taking effect in Erie and Niagara counties. [More]
If a “historical understanding” is the standard under Bruen…

Blame to Go Around
The mother of a 30-year-old Buffalo woman who was killed by her estranged husband told The Post that Gov. Kathy Hochul was just as responsible for the brutal slaying as the man who pulled the trigger. [More]
Not to give Hochul a break or anything, but it appears there were also some all-too-common poor choices in play here, and I wonder if Keaira imprinted off of Tammy in her man-selection acumen and if they both were Democrats.

The Red Queen
Hochul touts “red flag” gun seizures as polls show crime top concern for New Yorkers [More]
It’s instructive how she minimizes concerns over pandering to a key Democrat constituent bloc by turning a blind eye to effectively addressing real crime, opting instead to go after citizens who have not been tried for or convicted of anything.

The Price of Non-Admissions
Pitiful, just pitiful. Corruption everywhere, members’ money being pocketed, embezzlers in the highest ranks, the Audit Committee covering everything up rather than investigating, and the spineless board being deceived and unwilling to object. [More]
Kinda makes me wanna go right out and join the Wine Club…

Predator Empowerment Zones Disputed
![]()
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in federal court challenging the new concealed carry statute in New York State that, among other things, prohibits concealed carry in churches. [More]
The Democrat authors of that legislation evidently didn’t feel six seconds gave murderous attackers enough of an advantage.
UPDATE
And here’s another case:
The Second Amendment Foundation scored a victory in a ruling by a Tennessee Appeals Court panel striking down a gun ban by a public housing authority in the community of Columbia on the grounds it violates the Second Amendment, citing recent Supreme Court language in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
We’re the Only Ones Discretionary Enough
At least six New York sheriffs say they will exercise their discretion in enforcing the state’s new gun-control law, arguing the new measure unfairly targets law-abiding citizens… [More]
New York needs more sheriffs who equate Hochul with a tyrant and laugh about their “Biden moment”…
[Via Jess]
Spoiler Alert
Law enforcement arrived at Zeldin’s home to obtain security footage of the incident from their home cameras, he said. He added that his daughters were “shaken” by the incident and that crime has run rampant in the state of New York. [More]
Unlike Hochul, he doesn’t blame the guns.
Now he’s within 3 percentage points of her, which just weeks ago seemed impossible.
And guess who is polling at 3% and what his position is on “vibrant immigration” with “two Ellis Islands on the Southern border…”?
I don’t suppose he’d care to take a little challenge…

Tyrants Haunted by Ghosts
The Department of Justice’s Statement of Interest informs the Court that the United States has serious concerns about the proliferation of untraceable firearms easily assembled from firearm parts kits and unfinished frames and receivers. [More]
Well, yeah. If we don’t know about them, how are we expected to confiscate them?

A Farewell to Arms
A man who spent 16 years in prison for a 2004 school shooting in upstate New York was attacked by a sword-wielding vagrant at the homeless shelter where he now works — and he’s going viral with candid TikTok updates on his recovery. Jon Romano, who was released from prison in 2020, had to have his arms reattached after they were severed in the terrifying Aug. 29 attack in Albany, that also left him with severe injuries to his head and legs… [More]
Finally — a “prohibited person” who was effectively disarmed…

Let’s Do It Again!

Yesterday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) re-filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of New York over the poorly named Concealed Carry Improvement Act, which took effect September 1st. Several additional plaintiffs who are willing to break the law or are currently in violation have joined the lawsuit, which was originally filed on behalf of a GOA member from Schenectady County. [More]
I posted this to my WoG Placeholder site because all that’s up on the GOA site at this writing is their July announcement.
Times Square Gun-Free Zone Plans Leave the Obvious Unmentioned

Take that to mean you can’t have a permitted gun with you in a private automobile, either. The entire city is being turned into a “patchwork quilt” designed to make it impossible to travel within its limits without violating the law. [More]
By ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision with impunity, this has effectively become not just a real insurrection, but a sanctioned secession.
