Do you think that Gov. Cuomo will get the message?

He and his kind will NEVER get the message. None of this legislation is about protecting anyone except those in power. The aim is not to "save lives" but to DISARM the US population. We've seen again and again, those who are producing this kind of legislation are constantly surrounded by their own people WITH guns. They do not want to get rid of guns. They want to get rid of OUR guns. Nothing will change that agenda except a change of government. It fears us so it wants to disarm us and that will not change so long as they are in power. It's really that simple.

I believe Cuomo will win reelection. He just doesn't have a strong opponent. Rob Astorino is nice and pro gun, but Cuomo will wipe the floor with him.

he will not get the message. not ever.

I agree, NYC will carry him to victory.

Plus there are "gun owners" who care only about hunting, and Cuomo has taken great pains not to disturb hunters.

Rural vs Urban New York.....or the Armed vs the Unarmed when it comes to significant parts of population in New York. Similiar issue in CT. I fear that their will eventually be a confrontation at some point....

Rural vs Urban Maryland.....or the Armed vs the Unarmed when it comes to significant parts of population in Maryland. Similiar issue in CT. I fear that their will eventually be a confrontation at some point....

Sensibly limit voting to only land owners, as it used to be, and watch our problems disappear overnight.

Unfortunately, I believe you are entirely correct on this one.

One vote per net tax dollar paid? Oh wait, that wouldn't be fair as 1% pays enough tax to swing every election.... yet they don't pay "their fair share" !

Tyranny of the majority. A bunch of smart guys once had some things to say about that. Oh yeah, we know them as the Founding Fathers.

For now at least. Those hunters may rue the day they supported (or tolerated) him.

Those hunters need a lesson in American history and the true purpose of the 2A.

I can tell you the attitude of some hunters here in NJ.

We have a group here called the NJ Outdoor Alliance (NJOA) which is a group focused on conservation. Conservation also involves hunting and fishing.

Last year the Senate President pushed some really bad gun bills. We also had an election last year.

Guess who NJOA endorsed? They endorsed the Senate President because they claim he did so much good for wildlife and the environment, and that he had an A rating from the NRA. It is true that he had an A rating from the NRA, but he went down to a D last year due to his newfound love for gun control...

The billboards on that page looked photoshopped. They may be real billboards, but for the sake of making things look good for the website, I'm pretty sure that the billboards were photoshopped to make them look right.

Aside from that, this one of those "preaching to the choir" threads, and regardless of the truths in the matter, the masses are asses, and I doubt if those billboards will change anyone's mind - for people who agree, they'll continue to agree, and for the people who don't, they'll see it as a ploy by the gun lobby, and won't do the research necessary to understand that they aren't.

Agreed. I'm so tired of this mythical "gun industry", that uninformed people keep blaming 2A lobbyist . Where the hell did that even come from? It isn't like big oil or big tobacco, where there's substantial sized companies. What do we have... Colt and some retailers?

The images are not shopped - it's a LED billboard with rotating messages, located right by the exit for the State Capitol in Albany.

Ok - so a single billboard, multiple messages. Interesting.
