Besides being anti-gun, this is just more “we can’t be insensitive” crap which has gone overboard in our country.
Bunch of liberal phonies trolling for votes. I’ll bet their county Gov’t sessions have a visible police presence. I’ll bet some of these hypocrites have guns at home. You would be surprised how many libs and Democrats like their rifles and guns as much as our side does. I would say its about equal
When you see headlines “Gun sales going through the roof!!!” Half of those sales are to libs
It is not specifically the “Gun & Knife” show that is being targeted, it is a new push to anything and anyone related to guns the next demon.
Gun owners will now be treated like smokers or child molesters. Anyone associated with guns will now be considered EVIL.
And what, exactly, does a gun and knife show have to do with the CT killings?
Nothing, it’s political theater and looks good at the present moment. Wait until their “constituents” get back to them and inform them about the imminent loss of their positions.
Gordon Liddy said it best on closing the “gun show loophole.” He said “I’m a convicted felon. If I want a gun I’m not going to a gun show or store to get one. I’ll go to Rocco who I met in the joint and buy one out of his car trunk.”
I had to chuckle over this one. I heard the same thing back in the early 70’s when I went to a tech school in NYC. If a criminal wants a gun he can get one faster than a law-abiding citizen. It might cost more but there is no paperwork trail either.
So what will it take for the MSM and these “Politicians” to admit that criminals are criminals because they don’t give a damn about the laws these yahoos lobby for and pass.
Only if we allow ourselves to be.
Smokers could have turned the tide on this demonization if they had stuck together and forced the fact that they too have rights.
The same goes for gun owners. If we let the left demonize us without fighting back, we deserve to lose our rights. We have to get right in their faces and argue our points just as vehemently and, if necessary, violently as they do.
Our forefathers fought and died for our rights; are we going to give them up just because someone talks bad about us or hurts our feelings?
I see this as a states right. New York does not want these shows anymore just as South Carolina just put rules on Obamacare making it hard to implement. No difference really except we accept one but not the other.

bump for future use....
Westchester NY County Executive Rob Astorino a “Catholic” “Republican” cancelled the gun show? I think he is up for re-election next year. I’m making a list of politicians that think our constitution is toilet paper and I will never ever vote for them regardless of whom they are running against.
I have no problem with the county doing as it wishes. If they are willing to absorb the financial loss, it's no skin off my nose.
