The Chicago Sun-Times ran a piece by Neil Steinberg today (as News, rather than Opinion) that contained the sentence "Guns are part of the right-wing lunatic fringe of fear, the Obama-loathing, government-hating, minority-despising, science-scoffing quarter of Americans existing in a shadowy permanent grief state over the 1950s, over a white-bread America where they were king that never was and never will be". There's no arguing with that kind of closed mind. A professional politician, on the other hand, is generally interested in power (money, control, etc...) and self-preservation. Support the ones that vote your interests and vote out those that don't. Register and vote! One vote may not make a difference but how many thousands don't bother, thinking it will make no difference? Cuomo wants to do better than his daddy. Some of our representatives let themselves be bullied and some couldn't wait to sign on. Vote out the people that betrayed you.

They haven't figured out the specifics yet so so costs have not come up yet.

All three of your "simple limits" were ALREADY illegal in New York. Fully automatic weapons and silencers have been illegal for decades most places in the country, except under very strict federal licensing requirements.

I'm disgusted by what "our" state government just did to us, without our permission, without asking our opinion.

So will your turkey shotgun be considered an assault rifle because it has a pistol grip? I hope Cuomo gets a landslide LOSS of votes for anything he runs for in future - it's just a chest-thumping power play from a guy desperate to do better than his daddy...
