“””The famous “shoulder thing that goes up” bit:”””

I think a barrel shroud is the shoulder thing that goes up and holds all the high magazine clips.

I’m quite certain she sleeps in hell tonight. And I don’t say that with any pleasure hell is a horrific place and she’s gonna spend an eternity there.

The other riders on that train were disarmed because of gun-grabbing sociopaths such as Carolyn McCarthy.

The murder should have met a hail of gun fire and a train car full of smoke.

Larson’s The Far Side has a homeowner confronting a burglar with his Dobie-O-Matic, which is pretty much a Doberman launched from a shoulder-fired slingshot.
Make certain places “gun-free” soft targets,
Which attract maniacs like blue-bottle flies to a fresh cow patty, then
$*** happens.
“We need more safe places!”. This dead broad, good riddance
Stop being nice to these screwballs.

Yes. Her husband. I suspect that she was an autocratic harpy of a wife, and with him gone , she turned it on everyone else.

I prefer “Woe unto thee who call evil good and good evil.” This was a dreadful person in the way she used her power.

I absolutely disagree. Though I am aligned 180-degrees in opposition to her thoughts on gun control, that doesn't make her a bad person. Her salvation from hell is much more based on whether she received Christ as her Savior, and if she chose not to willfully sin on a regular basis.

Sliwa had his chance. There’s no reason to suggest he’d do any better this time around. Best to stick with Adams.

Come to think of it, that's pretty common in NY for the Republican Party to cede elections to the democrats

Yep, The NYS GOP State Party crashed and burned, terrible shame.
