“One person briefed on the meeting said Cuomo threatened to remove sheriffs from office, a little-used power afforded the state’s chief executive under the state constitution.”

I’m not about to believe that until you can quote chapter and verse.

Below is the text from the NY state constitution. The Sheriff would have a trial. I stated the other night at a forum we had against the safe act that I am sure that the attendees and thousands more would be there to defend our Sheriff Tim Howard. He was with us and he is a great friend. I openly invited Cuomo to TRY and fire Howard, I want him to try I really do. We have no recourse against this thug ass. So at every opportunity I am in his face in the media challenging him.


“The governor may remove any elective sheriff, county clerk, district attorney or register within the term for which he or she shall have been elected; but before so doing the governor shall give to such officer a copy of the charges against him or her and an opportunity of being heard in his or her defense.”

Two articles covering the forum.

The fight against New York’s new gun control law is shifting into the political arena as gun rights supporters say they will run candidates against state legislators who voted for the law.

Speaking at a packed meeting Monday night in the Shannon Pub, gun advocate and local tea party activist Rus Thompson said the 6 million gun owners in the state are a threat to re-election of Governor Andrew Cuomo next year.

Meeting leaders say repeal of the law isn’t likely any time soon, with the Legislature slated to go home next week. That’s why Thompson said the key is political action in primary challenges.

“Like with the Erie County Legislature we need to run people against those who voted against a repeal of the Safe Act,” said Thompson.

Not a bad article at all, the comments? People are just blind. One comment states that he has a fundamental issue with groups that require loyalty oath. Did I require a loyalty oath? NO, I didn’t, what I did was ask the crowd of Patriots to swear the same oath our lawmakers swear to every time they get sworn in to office. Thing is that the people that attended most likely know more about the constitution than all elected people in the country.
