The daily news is a worthless rag, written for people who can’t read or write English.
It’s typical liberal trash.

Politicians gravely fear a legally armed populace.

Chuck-You Skruumer is just about crapping his pants over this one...

“A well regulated militia, being necessary the security of a free state; the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” would gut a lot of gun laws. Period.

What the Daily Fish-Wrap fails to mention is that firearms violations are the first thing to be plea-bargained away in NYC.

The comments are great ...

Chucky sees the real problem — The problem comes when the chosen few who have these ‘special permits’ that citizens can't get, these States, if they have special permits, must then allow commoners from other States to carry in their States.

It's sort of the same story there are two classes of citizens. You and me, and then there is Chucky and his ilk.

Why is it that gunphobics seem to have such a hard time distinguishing between guns in the hands of criminals and guns in the hands of responsible, law abiding people? Are they really that stupid or is it that they think we are that stupid?

“check out some of the comments”

And the newspapers (claim to) wonder why they are all going tits-up.

But what flies in Sioux Falls, population 150,000, or capital city Pierre, population 14,000, does not make it in the world's safest big city, population 8.4 million, where the police have saved thousands from gun deaths by vigorously enforcing weapons laws.

Where is this utopian paradise? They can't be referring to NY, or any other large American city.

The Thune amendment would gut those safeguards. Anyone meeting the laxest standards of federal law - including people with misdemeanor convictions, long arrest records or alcohol abuse problems - would be able to walk the city streets packing heat. The NYPD could do nothing.

Hm, oh no, people with misdemeanors carrying weapons!! I guess this means someone unfortunate enough to get a public intoxication or disorderly conduct conviction shouldn't have the right to defend themselves in NYC! (And just to set the record straight, you can be charged w/ "public intoxication" if you are walking home from a bar after drinking... which is much more prudent, and probably cheaper than a taxi, than driving yourself home. Also, you could be charged with disorderly conduct if you say, refused to eat/pay for improperly cooked food at a restaurant... or refusing to assent to [illegally] being forced to disarm.)

“Saved thousands of lives by enforcing gun laws”?? Proof, please!

We New Yorkers KNOW there is no such thing as a law abiding American. (Except, of course for city and state employees.) So we can’t afford to let anybody have a gun. (Except, of course, members of M-13 and any black street gang thug in town. Important voting blocs, you see.) So this dangerous senate amendment must be defeated. (Or sure democrat voters might get blown away by honest, republican leaning dopes!)

Signed,

Your non-biased editors.

MY GOD...think of the carnage if law abiding American citizens were permitted to carry guns!! PLEASE, follow the lead of your city/state democrat party members. Keep guns where they belong. In the hands of M-13 and black street gangs.

My response:

So tell me, dear anonymous editor, are you one of those who’d think it more “honorable” to see my wife lying raped and dead in an alley than to see her standing there explaining to a cop just how her attacker (likely with many prior convictions) happened to get all those bullet holes in him? Please explain that to me and to any and all folks who have LOST a loved one in similar circumstances, unable to defend themselves because the likes of YOU, who might have one of these “Elites-Only” permits, don’t care to see the riff-raff allowed to exercise their God-given NOT government-granted) right to protect themselves and/or their loved ones.

As a retired U.S. Marine, I spent my adult life protecting the Constitution from all its enemies, as well as standing between my countrymen and those who would do them harm. I have also come to realize that the most harm that my countrymen, my family, my loved ones suffer comes from elitist morons who buy the government lies about “people who own guns go crazy and kill others” without bothering to check actual FACTS. Also without bothering to read the Founding Documents of this nation and actually see for themselves what it’’s all about. You have yours; the rest of us can take a hike.

It’s attitudes like yours, like Chuckie Schumer, who DOES have an “Elites Only” permit, of course, and the others of your ilk, that made me vow NEVER to return to New York to live and never, EVER, visit or live in New York City. And I was born and raised upstate, in some of the prettiest country on the planet. Thanks a LOT, dear anonymous editor. Next time look at some real FACTS before you open your mouth or sit down at your keyboard. Maybe, just MAYBE, you’ll learn something. It could happen!

New York has some of the strictest rules in the country

Save for their AWB, NFA, and open-carry prohibitions, those "strict rules" amount only to paperwork formalities. Once you jump thru all the hoops, you can own pretty much whatever you want, and carry pretty much wherever you want. Heck, you can carry a Serbu Super Shorty while imbibing Jack Daniels at a pub, so long as a few pieces of paper are in order.

Too many New Yorkers never really assimilated with American niceness and our Constitution. Some of them move to the West and push their big government policies along with their paradoxical disrespects against others they perceive to be peasants (Americans of American disposition). They should go back to their east European and northwest Asian countries of origin, IMO. ...nasty, voracious troublemakers.
