The law presents no solution to their basic issues.

I find that revolvers are still a great technology.

Yes, but it is really difficult to mount the sights on a revolving cylinder so that the gun can be presented sideways.

Obviously not.

The magazine issue is easily resolved by bringing more revolvers.

A sideways presentation could facilitate a quicker reload.

“I find that revolvers are still a great technology.”

They always work when you need them to and never leave their micro stamped casings behind... unless if you have to reload.

This tired, overused, meaningless phrase about “common sense” is routinely offered by people who haven’t got enough sense to come in out of the rain.

So how much have all their other "basic common sense" laws improved things?

"Make it illegal for democrats to own guns and most of the problem will vanish. "

That does seem to be a winning stratergy.

So a new gun law would have stopped this shooting?
These people are idiots.
You already have some of the hardest guns laws in the country. How come they did not work????

In the wake of a recent shooting outside an East Village housing complex, local lawmakers gathered alongside community leaders last Friday to call for a special legislative session aimed at passing statewide gun control measures that would make New York’s gun laws the strongest in the country.

Well, if tyranny and violation of God-given Constitutional rights is strong, then yeah. Personally, I don't associate tyranny and violation of my civil rights with strength, but to each his own.

That’s the point. Common sense was a one size fits all set of ideas that we all shared. Today, common sense is relative, so, common non-sense is a more appropriate term. But to answer your question, I can’t think of any “basic common sense” laws that have done any good, other than to make some people feel good because they got to give them really good names.

Prediction:

Should this silly Micro-stamping of Casings pass and spread throughout the Country, the following will occur.

1. Sales of Revolvers will go through the roof.

2. There will no noticeable decrease in “Gun Crime”, but Littering will be decreased.

3. Criminals will pickup the spent Casings after they commit their Crime or they will substitute their spent Casings for those owned by someone else.

4. The term “I've been framed” will be a common refrain in Courtrooms throughout the land.

5. The Libtards will figure out another Gun Law to implement once it's determined this one was an Epic Fail.

On another note, me and the boss lady went to see Atlas Shrugged Pt 2 this afternoon here in Reno

I went to see the 1:30 PM showing (first was 10:30 AM). I was first in the theater at 12:50. The audience filtered in. Mostly elderly who stumbled and fumbled their way to seats.

The casting and production was first rate. Technology was current and relevant to the current day. Gas prices were only 10x current CA prices. The streets were full of "occupy" types railing about the "2%", the rich and "fair share". Like a page from the current Obamaville newspapers.

The Hank Rearden in Pt 2 looks more the part of a business man with "hands on" experience. The guy in Pt 1 seemed just a little too much like a "city boy" who never go t his hands dirty. I liked the Eddie Willers character better in Pt 2 than what I had perceived when reading the book.

I was concerned about where this shooting happened till I read it happened in alphabet city. That area has always been unsafe. If, for some reason I had to live there, I’d purchase a gun.

This is an attack on guns more so pushing microstamping. Some company needs money.

Shoot the criminals. What is so difficult to understand?

That is a solution which is 100% effective, yet libs go crazy if you mention it. There was a judge somewhere (OH?) who advised people to arm themselves. I think we will be seeing more such stories in the coming years.

The problem with all of these pols passing gun laws is that not owns one. There should be a law that anyone who passes anti 2A legislation loses all their armed security.
