whenever the left perceives its losing ground in one venue...they try opening another.

as their grasp on federal power recedes this election cycle, they realize that only by extending their power locally can they retain influence.

this IS ALL BEING COORDINATED..somewhere...look at Bloomies daily meeting schedules to find out whom he’s working with....

But after speaking to the public, Huff told this newspaper that what she wants most of all is the increased police presence that public housing tenants have been seeking for years, alongside other security measures, like surveillance cameras and functioning locks on the buildings’ front doors.

To protect them against whom? Responsible, gun owning, law abiding citizens?

Or career criminals who already ignore the gun laws that are currently in place and carry anyway with guns they likely bought on the black market, which is where they'll continue to get the guns no matter what draconian legislation is passed by the government?

It just boggles the mind that people cannot think through something that simple in the first place.

“The gun lobby opposes this because they believe any law that places restrictions on any gun seller or purchaser is a bad law, and we’ve seen the violent effects of that thinking over and over again,” said Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh, a sponsor of various statewide gun control measures...

How are all those restrictions working out for you, pal? It is insanity to think more of the same will improve matters.

The truth is the so-called "gun lobby" are freedom loving americans who value their right to keep and bear arms so that they can defend themselves against the very vermin your restrictive laws empower. Yes, empower, because restrictive guns laws do not punish criminals, or prevent them from acquiring weapons. They prevent or discourage the law abiding from arming themselves.

It is time to "Escape from NY."

Less than one minute with a file on a new gun,and the microstamping is rendered useless.

OTOH, plenty of other states will welcome the gun manufacturers with open arms! (unintended pun)

[Myrddin]

It wasn’t a criticism, just an observation. I’m well on my way there.

Microstamping will only facilitate the process of prosecution at the expense of fact.

This is bad law. NY, contact your reps.

Well, your *observation* had a tone of disrespect to it and FWIW added nothing pertinent to your overall comment about the film.
