That’s Yang Li, he’s a very dedicated RKBA advocate, and he even bought a case of EFAD to give out to his group in New England! In fact, he just emailed me the link to that video! Small world! “STICK TO YOUR GUNS!”
Appreciate the post. Good one.
Each and every day my status as a citizen devolves towards the status of a subject. There will come a point where that devolution will no longer be tolerated.
We are quickly approaching that point of no return. Then, it will get ugly, very ugly.

We are seeing the results of allowing them to ignore the Constitution with the Sullivan law passed in 1911 to protect organized crime.
100 years of being unable to bear arms for their own defense has conditioned them to believe that it is right and proper; that anyone who says otherwise is a moron.
It is why New York City is one of the epicenters for this nonsense.
You can bet that the LEO response would be that they are more often put in harm's way than we civilians are. To that I would point out that they also have trained back up available with a quick radio message, and you can d@mn well guarantee that the old adage about "When seconds count, the police are minutes away" doesn't apply to when they're responding to a fellow officer's distress call.
I expect the ratio is even lower than stated. This does not factor in the fact that government “elites” may have more than one bodyguard.
What timing!
The overlords don't like that kind of insubordination. If you speak to a cop, you risk a beat down.
Bright fellow, that Bracken.

So how long into the future will it be in places like New York where the Cop Cars will be traveling in pairs or having at least four officers per car?
Why I ask? Simple, it’s through laws like these that the “Elites” and the Police show their base fear of the populace that they are supposed to “serve” here in America.
It is a blueprint, only one or two very short steps from total confiscation, which is where it is no doubt intended to wind up. It would ban nearly all current models of rifles and pistols. But even this "permissive" blueprint would still retrograde New York's law abiding citizens back to the firearms technology of around 1861, the Civil War.
1. Confiscation of “assault weapons”
2. Confiscation of ten round clips
3. Statewide database for ALL Guns
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder’s information to be replaced to the public
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than 5 rounds or pistol grips as “assault weapons”
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to 5 and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines
7. Limit possession to no more than two (2) magazines
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years
11. State issued pistol permits
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons”
Heck, even the old venerable Colt 1851 Navy Revolver (of which over 250,000 were made, plus multiples of that in various other models) carried 6 rounds, with more firepower than allowed by the above "blueprint", and were available for civilian use!
With this "bleuprint", New York peasants would now be limited to 5 rounds - until more stringent measures were enacted,... for the "safety and security" of the children and the public, of course!
"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?"
Or, as occurred with the '94 10 round limit, an explosion of tiny pocket pistols in .45 ACP and 10mm and even tinier .40 and 9mm ones. I have such a small, single stack 9, a KelTec. However my somewhat compact .45 ACP has an 8 round double stack magazine, and is now banned in New York.
Both magazines are "out of stock", including at KelTec's own site. Imagine that. People buying them so they can turn them in to the government? I think not.
Watch for Obummer, Reid and Pelosi to try the same thing.
The House, under Speaker Jellyfish, is the only thing that stands in the way of something similar passing at the federal level.

“New York Senator Chuck Schumer, do your bodyguards limit themselves to the same seven-round magazines that your state now mandates for the commoners?”
Um...it’s not limited to commoners. Word is... In their absurd haste, legislators forgot to exempt cops from the prohibition.
Not that the ruling class is subject to their own laws.
Definition: A legislative act that singles out an individual or group for punishment without a trial.
Unfortunately this is not one, nor is it, technically an ex post facto law. It would only punish possession, etc, after the date of enactment. It might be a "taking" law, in violation of the Takings clause of the fifth amendment. Have to see more details to tell. But it's in gross violation of the Second Amendment, which the Supreme Court has ruled applies to the states as well as the federal government. So if they are willing to ignore that, they'll ignore the more esoteric violations of the Constitution as well. New York's Constitution has no RKBA provision.
