"However, the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association hit back on Tuesday, claiming that Republicans knew exactly what was in the budget."

[unixfox]

They had to pass it to see what was in it.

[facedown]

They’re either lying or incompetent. My guess is, both.

[yldstrk]

what the morons in New York can’t read

[FES0844]

“Hidden” = they didn’t read it. Disgraceful.

[grania]

Shouldn't we be the ones who are furious because they voted for the bill without reading it?

The US Senate is worse than useless. We'c be better off if it could be abolished.

[cuban leaf]

Gee, maybe they should have read it.

[ArtDodger]

Jackass politicians, you are being paid to read the bills before voting on them. Do your jobs!

[from occupied ga]

He said he would’ve voted against it if he knew about the SAFE Act funding

Total BS. Anyone who actually believes this crap deserves to live out their life in the police state of NY.

[stanne]

Can they read?

This sounds like third graders telling their teacher som lame excuse for not getting work done

[Da Coyote]

Funny, one would have thought that those idiots could read.

What a bunch of lying feces piles.

[BuffaloJack]

Nazi New York !!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“We have to pass the bill to know what’s in it.”

[Savage Beast]

They should have read it before they voted for it.

[BitWielder1]

They knew but pretended not to.
That way they could pass it and then claim ignorance.

If ignorance of the law is no excuse for regular folks,
then ignorance of the law you're about to legislate is a serious offense.

[Amagi]

First of all didn't any of these lazy bums, or their staff members, read the damn bill before they voted on it?
Also, it seems to me that the Founders recommended short legislative bills, in part to avoid dishonest abuse such as this.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is Prime Example # 1 of why the Welfare State is out of control. The Leviathan just lumbers along no matter who is in charge, spending an ever-increasing amount on silly nonsense and unsustainable transfer payment programs. No one really understands what it spends. The morons in the legislature simply vote for it and when they are called on it, say they are “outraged” over the spending. But God Forbid someone propose a 10% spending cut — a real spending cut. They are pilloried as a hearless monster.

[LucianOfSamasota]

Because attorneys don’t read agreements before they sign them?

[txrefugee]

Can’t they READ??? They certainly can lie.

[RedMDer]

Read the bills before voting!

[mulligan]

Our current education system must not teach people how to read. What a poor excuse but in concert with corrupt politicians.
