Rant mode on!
To those who could care less about NY, I apologize but this has to be said.
Yesterday July 29 I attended a pro gun rally at the NY state capitol plaza put on by the NYS rifle & Pistol Assn. A lot of good people went to great trouble to set up this rally in our state capitol. I got up in the middle of the night (OK so it was 5AM) to drive to Albany to attend.
I was very disappointed. Only about 200 people bothered to show up! None of the regular blowhards for RKBA were there. Even John Lott, who was supposed to speak, didn't show up. The local media was there and we looked like total jerks. There were almost more General Service employees working on the grounds than pro gun people at the rally.
Last month the NRA set up a seminar on how to influence political campaigns. Paid for a hotel conference room in a ritzy local hotel, sent three people from Virginia as presenters. Many people pre registered, but less than half showed up!
The showing was pitifull, but at least most of the local loudmouths were there. As a NY'er I was embarrassed.
This State is worthless, full of lazy , stupid, jerks who are only interested in their kown petty little worlds. Don't expect NY to stand up and fight when the constitution is finally trashed. They will be too busy watching football on TV or travelling to Atlantic City to hit the tables.
To all of you who can't spare the time, you deserve to loose your guns. And you will, very soon.
