ALBANY, NY (01/22/2012)(readMedia)-- The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association applauds Governor Cuomo's proposal to scrap the Combined Ballistic Identification System (CoBIS). After collecting over 356,000 spent shell casings since March 2001 at an estimated cost of nearly $44 million, not a single crime has been solved because of the program.
"By any rational measure, CoBIS has been a total failure," said NYSRPA President Tom King. "What is astounding is that there are actually elected officials defending it. Only in Albany would you find people who think that a program which has run for more than 10 years without producing a single result is good public policy."
NYSRPA strongly encourages the legislature to put an end to this farce and pass A-1131/S-459.
Yes, it was just another liberal attack on the Second Amendment rights of the INDIVIDUAL. Far left liberals continue to prove their IQ is on par with that of a rock.
When I was 8, I had a shell case collection too, ranging from .22`s to 40 mm.
My mom threw it out when I left for college, along with my 1940`s comic book collection and baseball cards.
