In fact, I could give a sh!t about what happens anywhere in New York State. I'll not knowingly purchase anything from there, do business there. If you are a freedom minded person, you should leave there. Failing that, you need to get rid of your government riddled with rabid Democrats. IF you can't do that, then your state is doomed. One of the original colonies that created this great nation, and I doubt they even teach that in NYS any more.
Background checks are an utter exercise in stupidity anyway. They do absolutely nothing to stop criminals and only control the law abiding.
We really need to know all the details. If the Coburn amendment is included, I might accept it. The Coburn amendment destroys the anti-freedom types scheme for gun registration. It sets back their clock at least 20, if not 50 years.
I could also accept amendments that would call for destruction of 4473s after a year, on the grounds that "old" gun traces are worthless (virtually all gun traces are worthless).
The details are very important.
The other side is that working out all the details consumes time, and moves us more toward rationality instead of emotion. That works for us, and makes getting other legislation that President Obama wants harder. More time is our friend.
Legislation should be deliberate, not rushed.
