We out here in Ca will probably end up with ex Gov Jerry Brown
as Atty Gen which is bad enough...but I have to feel for
New York's pro gun front if this character gets elected as
Atty Gen.

New York State Attorney General candidate Andrew Cuomo today earned the endorsements of the New York City Patrolmen's and Port Authority Police and Sergeants Benevolent Associations, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Million Mom March and New Yorkers Against Gun Violence (NYAGV). The groups praised Cuomo's integrity and record of accomplishments working to protect public safety, and fighting to get illegal guns off our streets.

thank God i moved out of that socialist experiment!
notice, all guns are illegal in NYC, and if you want one, you better pay up $459 and wait 6 - 12 months. :fire:

Same here, I spent the first 32 years of my life there and that government was all I knew. I left in 96 and I haven't been back since.

The problem us New Yorkers have is..well...NYC. (Many of us wish it would just drop off into the ocean!)

Most "upstaters" are rational when it comes to gun (or any other) laws, but voting pro-gun is a waste of time. The politicos pander to the NYC crowd, and we get out-voted every time (Hey, come on, they actually elected HILLARY CLINTON!).

I live about as far from NYC as possible, and still be in same state (in fact, other than to go through the airport, I've never been to NYC!) But, becasue of the "leadership" at higher levels, there's a trickle down effect, and the local politicians aren't much better.

Yes, I could (and would like to) move, but all my family and business are here so Im stuck for the time being.

For the first time in my life I will vote pretty much republican across the board. As a life long NYC resident, Democrat and recent gun owner I've never been more sick of our crop of local politicians. Consider me a convert

I'm glad I escaped NY back in '94. At that time Mario Cummo was governor, he was about as pathetic as they come as a state leader, it sounds like sonny boy is no better. I'm really thankful I got out before She Clinton got the position of senator.

dfaugh, where in the state do you live? I feel for ya man, I felt the same way living there, if you weren't from the rotten apple your vote didn't count.
