Gun nuts storm Albany to oppose year-old SAFE Act

[SecularMotion]

This time some of the gun nuts in the crowd in Albany strung up a likeness of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, then tried to say afterward that they didn’t want it to look as if Cuomo were hanging there in the Empire State Plaza, oh no, they just wanted him to look like a puppet.

What does that mean? The dummies in this crowd wanted you to think that the Cuomo dummy was the only one in attendance.

These are people who want the world to believe that Cuomo is an enemy of the Second Amendment because he doesn’t happen to think that a ban on high-capacity magazines and requiring background checks for ammunition dealers and a registry of assault weapons — all part of his SAFE Act, passed last January — are going to make New York less safe if Canada decides to invade.

“So much of this is simply not rational to me,” Andrew Cuomo was saying early Tuesday evening. “I would think that the entire experience in our state, certainly since we passed the law over a year ago, should have dispelled any of the initial fears.

1. What kind of ignorance does it take to describe a 10 round magazine as a "high-capacity" magazine?

3. I find it quite telling you read and use The NY Daily News

..as a resource, oh and Fox as well, any lie will do to win, because thats all it is anymore a contest and game, played with quips, hyperbole and innuendo.
Many of us have offered ideas, and compromise, you push for more, the next dead child is on your hands gun grabbers I reject your slanders, your lies and your agenda of theft and disarmament your supposed moral high ground disappeared the first time you used a dead child for your 'See I told you so" games.

And I will support the DEMOCRAT in my district, who votes on the correct side of 2A, will never suggest holding back funds to help DEMOCRATS win back the House, or maintain the Senate. Can you say the same?

4. How can a law ban a target pistol that has no military or LE use

and pretty much found only in the Olympics and ISSF as an "assault weapon" be seriously called "sensible"?

My question is, how many other "assault weapons" that don't look or function anything like a military firearm.

5. Gun control advocates will point out that the Walther GSP has a two stage trigger. ...

While they have no idea of what that means, they will feel that obviously two stage triggers should be banned on firearms.

[gejohnston]

6. OK, but it is banned because

of the location of the magazine well.

[spin]

7. Which makes the same sense as banning the weapon because of a two stage trigger. ...

What real difference does it make if the magazine attaches to the pistol outside the grip anyway?

8. heck

whats with the facts. Everyone knows two stage triggers are faster and more dangerous

stage one = fast
stage two = even faster

9. "Storm"? As in, "a violent military assault on a fortified place, strong position, or the like."?

10. Hopefully they can ditch this law sometime in the future.
