"The third rally to be held in Albany since Governor Andrew Cuomo's sweeping gun control legislation passed more than a month ago took place Thursday."
"Opponents said they're pushing for a full repeal of a law that's become a flash point for gun rights advocates across the country."
"'I think New York has become the poster child for how not to adopt legislation,' said NRA President David Keene. 'As we know, the governor designed this in the dark of night, rammed it through the Legislature, and then everybody said, 'Oh my God, what have we passed?'" ... |

"Some gun rights advocates who gathered here in one of the largest protests in a decade or more demanded outright repeal of the law."
"Others say well-crafted amendments are needed to make major changes to what they say are violations of their Second Amendment rights." ... |

"'We’ve lost battles before. We will not lose the war,' Keene said. He was cheered by the throng that filled the park west of the state Capitol, many arriving on buses from across the state and advocating repeal of one of the toughest gun-control laws in the U.S." ... |

"Thousands of protesters swarmed in front of the Capitol Thursday, protesting new gun legislation and fighting against what they say are infringements on New Yorkers Second Amendment rights."

"New York gun owners are PISSED. As you’d expect. Their legislators passed a bill attempting to strip them of one of their fundamental civil rights, and did so without even reading the drivel they were voting on. While the constitutionality of the bill is currently under challenge in the courts, the people are making their displeasure known. A massive rally outside the capitol building in Albany – attendance was estimated at 12,000 – gathered yesterday to protest the bill, a crowd some legislators said was the largest they’ve ever seen. The Times Union picks up the story with some notable quotes . . ." ... |

"On Tuesday, Robin Kelly became the de facto U.S. rep for Illinois’ Second District by winning the Democratic nomination to replace former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. As chicagotribune.com points out “Kelly didn’t mention Michael Bloomberg by name during her victory speech. But he made his way into nearly every news story about her landslide win.” The media narrative is no surprise; the gun control jefe spent $2.2m on ads for Kelly. Even before she won, the media painted Kelly’s electoral ascension as evidence that Bloomberg, the billionaire behind The Mayors Against Illegal Guns, is becoming the new NRA, only in reverse. Only he isn’t. Not according to the Trib . . ." ... |

"The weekend after a heated debate over gun control, Colorado state Rep. Rhonda Fields was flooded with emails, including some she later told police 'disturbed and shocked' her."
"Fields usually gets a few dozen emails in a typical weekend, she said. But a handful of the 3,000 she received, along with a letter, were so charged with profanity and references to violence that Denver police arrested the suspected author, and state troopers increased security for the lawmaker." ... |

"A bill that would allow a person to carry an unloaded concealed weapon without a permit passed the Utah House of Representatives Friday — moving the state a step closer to a so-called constitutional-carry state."
"Rep. John Mathis, R-Vernal, met with Gov. Gary Herbert this week to try to assuage concerns he had about the measure and HB76 was changed to remove the provision that allowed a person to carry a loaded concealed weapon without a permit." ...
-------
Submitter's note: I know I know, I hate the change too, but it's still a good bill, with no poisoned pills, and it still expands 2nd amendment rights in Utah. We have a statist milk toast for a governor so this is the best we can do at the moment. |

"Gun rights supporters turned out by the thousands on the muddy West Lawn of the Capitol on Thursday to make their opposition heard to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s gun control legislation passed last month."
"Buses from across the state showed up for the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association’s fifth annual Lobby Day and Rally, which drew a record crowd of more than 5,000 people and was headlined by National Rifle Association President David Keene. The crowd was energetic, waving signs and flags, engaging in spirited conversations about the law they uniformily despise, chanting against Cuomo and roundly applauding a cavalcade of speakers who took turns preaching the rights of gun owners." ... |

Nominated by President Barack Obama last November, Gonzales’s suitability for the post may be under scrutiny due to the way his office has handled the prosecution of the Reese family on gun and money laundering charges." ... |

"It had to happen eventually. The dedicated disarmament advocates at the New York Times have finally noticed the convenience that gun trusts provide. Wanna buy a suppressor? Okay, but if you hand it to your kid to hold while loading up your range bag, you’ve technically broken the law. And buying NFA items or passing your heaters on once you’ve assumed room temperature is a bigger hassle without a trust in place. Not to mention that getting a sign-off from your CLEO can be impossible, depending on where you live. So what’s the problem with gun owners setting up a trust to own their gets? Why, a distinct lack of government control and oversight, of course! ..." ... |

"The Daily Caller’s out with a breathless report today about Obama supporter and rumored Commerce Secretary candidate Leo Hindery Jr. Titled ‘Employees: Obama donor in process of buying up and ‘destroying’ America’s top pro-gun media outlets,’ the piece advances the story that 'Employees of Obama donor Leo Hindery Jr.’s media conglomerate InterMedia Partners, which now owns most of the top gun-culture media outlets in the country, believe that Hindery plans to gut and destroy all of them as part of a business plan that has already led to numerous layoffs and the virtual shuttering of prominent television production facilities in Minnesota and Montana.'

"'…Let me say this right off the bat: I was stupid. Also naïve. And I am truly sorry because, as pure as my motive for posting the list was, it became obvious to me that my tactic was colossally wrong. As my many critics will point out, what’s done can’t be undone. But I wish it could.' Well, as long as her motives were pure…. Gwen Moritz, the Arkansas Business editor, didn’t like that the state’s database of gun owner info was about to be exempted from FOIA availability. So she grabbed the latest version she could before the list went dark and posted it on line. Then, when the the state’s gun owners turned up the heat on her . . ." ... |
