The Democrats’ dream for America This is what happens when the politicians are allowed to suspend the law for their political agenda and not offend their voters. In Rochester, NY, 80 stores were looted, some totally ransacked. They recruited over 150 volunteers to quickly clean-up the broken glass and mess the looters left in their wake. They didn’t want photos of the trashed stores going all over the internet. They had to quickly hide the serious damage and products stolen out of the stores. Who didn’t get looted? Stores with armed security were left alone. Most of the stores pictured were looted, some were boarded to stop looters.

Second Amendment Rights Lobby Day in Richmond, Virginia
On January 20, 2020, Virginia gun owners as well as Second Amendment supporters came to Richmond to lobby against the new Governors and democrat legislators proposed new draconian gun control measures even stricter than NY’s SAFE Act. Despite the Governors "state of emergency" and supposed rumors of violent actions by "white supremacist, racist, nazis etc. the March on Richmond happened. Official estimates by the media and government sources said 20 - 22 thousand (20,000 - 22,000) showed up. Unofficial totals went as high as 40 thousand (40,000). The state capital was awash in Second Amendment supporters from all over Virginia and many other states. Most carrying one or more firearms. Surprise, no one fired a round, no one was arrested and Richmond had probably the lowest crime day in its history. Many reporters despite being ready to show how the great unwashed redneck gun nuts would be vile and violent, were shocked at the relaxed atmosphere and civil nature of the participants. Of course despite the massive turnout and the overwhelming sanctuary city movement the democrat laden legislature voted for the new gun control bills and Governor Northam signed them. So much for our representatives listening to the people.

Meeting in Chanango County for Sanctuary County Most attendants wanted to get rid of the Gov. Cuomo. The recent bills including the bail reform act that the NY legislature passed and Cuomo signed was a major subject along with the recent gun laws that passed. Constitutional/Sanctuary county was the most important topic.
Sheriff’s attending were: Ernest R. Cutting, Jr. (Chanango Co.) and Lewis County Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli. Several speakers, Claudia Tenney former House of Representatives Congresswoman, GOA-NY President Mike Mastrogiovanni, Sheriff Cutting, Joe Cirigliano the leader of the program, 3 representatives from the Libertarian Party, several others running for political offices. Many in the room signed the Sanctuary County petition paper master list. It looks like they have now over 3000 signatures for the Sanctuary County petition. Here are some pictures from the meeting:

Turnabout is Fair play! The Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance (SASO) for New York State counties. With the help of Erich Pratt at Gun Owners of America and his legislative counsel, this template was adapted for NYS counties. It is modeled after the SASO that passed in 8 State of Oregon counties last November. Unlike county resolutions, SASO’s have teeth, and actually punish county employees for non-compliance. This is another tool we have to help protect our Second Amendment. Please it print out, get a few friends together and take it to your county sheriff and county legislatures. Nobody is going to protect our Second Amendment except us! PDF of the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance ---------------------------------------- ALERT!

N.Y. CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TAKE AIM AT THE FBI BEFORE THE NATION’S HIGH COURT, April 18, 2018 Webster , NY - Civil rights attorney Paloma A. Capanna announced the filing of a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in the case of Robinson, et al. v. Sessions, et al. The Petition requests permission to appeal to the nation’s high court, a privilege granted to approximately 80 cases per term (year). The case of Robinson v. Sessions concerns the civil rights of individuals who lawfully purchase a firearm through a federally-licensed dealer, using the NICS background check system. The government defendants have admitted it compares every firearms customer against the ‘‘Terrorist Screening Database,’’ even though a NICS-to-TSDB match cannot result in the denial of the attempted firearms purchase. The Plaintiffs charge that this violates Brady Act restrictions on FBI use of a customer’s personal information. ‘‘This is outrageous,’’ said Bill Robinson, lead Plaintiff. ‘‘The FBI has run more than 222 million background checks for firearms purchases against the Terrorist Screening Database without the legal authority to do so. The Brady Act guaranteed our right to privacy for the information we fill out on the ATF Form 4473. The FBI is violating the black letter of the law.’’ Capanna describes the case as ‘‘unusual’’ because the government has already admitted all of the material allegations made against it. ’’Robinson v. Sessions needs to be heard by SCOTUS because the FBI reads and quotes the law, but then does not follow it. If we can’t stop the FBI’s activities in this case where all the allegations are admitted, then we are one giant step closer to the implementation of a government super computer where all of your personal information is linked.’’ The case was dismissed in the lower courts. There, the judges said that the person who would have standing to bring such a lawsuit is a person alleged to be a ‘‘terrorist’’ as part of the TSDB. The Plaintiffs are asking SCOTUS to reverse and grant standing to proceed with the case on the merits to obtain a permanent injunction against the FBI, ATF, Terrorist Screening Center, and the U.S. Attorney General. THE PETITION IS AVAILABLE ON LINE AT: https://law-policy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Robinson_PETITION_SCOTUS_filed-04172018.pdf. PRESS CONTACT INFORMATION: Paloma A. Capanna, Attorney & Policy Analyst 633 Lake Road Webster , New York 14580 (585) 377-7260 (315) 584-2929 mobile www.Law-Policy.com
LATEST NEWS ON PETITION The case of Robinson v. Session is now docketed at the U.S. Supreme Court under number 17-1448. (Note that the 17-1427 number is the lower court number that was assigned at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.) The answer to the Petition is due from the office of the U.S. Solicitor General on May 21, 2018. After that magic May 21 date, the papers will advance to the clerks of the Justices. At some point, our Petition will hit a conference rotation and we’ll have the greatest prayer revival of our lives on a given Friday. Stay tuned! You can retrieve .pdf copies of all documents

A federal court is hearing testimony this week about
bribes for gun permits in New York City. A massive gun licensing scandal in New York City, now the subject of a Manhattan federal court trial, could easily be an indictment against so-called “discretionary issue” laws that allow authorities to decide who does or doesn’t get to exercise their right to keep and bear arms, which is supposed to be protected from such corruption by the Constitution. According to the New York Daily News, what happened in the New York Police Department’s license division amounted to “greenbacks and goodies from Former Assistant Brooklyn District Attorney John Chambers and other gun expediters, to speed up the permitting process.” Chambers is the first of seven people accused of bribing New York cops in order to smooth the process for getting a gun permit in The Big Apple, according to the New York Post. Gun rights activists have long complained that it takes an inordinate amount of time and expense to get a gun permit in the city. Ironically, this trial has opened coincidental to the introduction of a national “purchaser licensing” gun control measure by outgoing Connecticut Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty, an anti-gun Democrat. Published accounts so far have quoted former NYPD Sgt. David Villaneuva, a former supervisor in the License Division, who has testified that he accepted “greenbacks and goodies” from Chambers, a former assistant Brooklyn district attorney, and other so-called “gun expediters.” The purpose was allegedly to speed up the process for the privileged, to get or retain gun permits that can take many months for average citizens to obtain, provided their applications are approved. These courtroom revelations could ultimately provide ample arguments for dismantling such “discretionary issue” systems, replacing them with the kinds of “shall issue” laws now in effect in dozens of states where police and sheriff’s departments are required to issue licenses or permits to any qualified citizen who applies. Instead, New York is clinging to what many believe is a discriminatory system, by only changing some of the ways it does business, along with changing the License Division staff. The scandal erupted last year, nine years after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a handgun ban in Washington, D.C., affirming that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms.

School Shootings and the Second Amendment Ralph Esposito First let me say that no one in their right mind feels anything but horror and sadness at the terrible tragedies when a sick individual commits multiple shootings. Our hearts go out to the victims and families of such evil. Putting a sign up saying this school is a gun free zone is not an answer. Using emotional theater by parading the victims and their families crying for strict gun control is also not an answer. Years ago many schools had shooting ranges. It was not uncommon to see children walking in the halls of many schools with their rifles to get to the rifle club practice -- yet there were no mass shootings. The media talking heads will denigrate the Second Amendment in this debate. In truth the Second Amendment does not give us the right to own firearms; it affirms that we have a right to have arms and explicitly stops the government from infringing on our owning firearms. United States v. Cruikshank (1875), the Court ruled that "[t]he right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second Amendment means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government. How do we as a nation keep our children safe while not giving up the Right to Keep and Bear Arms? There are many suggestions. They span everything from banning guns to armed guards and allowing teachers to legally carry their handgun. At the Second Amendment Radio Show and GOANY we do not favor any type of gun ban or restriction. Looking at other countries that have strict gun control we see mass shootings happening. Just remember the shootings in France. Not only fully automatic rifles but grenades were used. The 10 ton elephant in the room is that no amount of gun control will stop bad people from getting their hands on guns, explosives, knives and other things they can use to kill. A gallon of gas can fuel your car for 20 or 30 miles of driving or used to burn down a house. It is not the object but the person and their intent. Response to the tragedy Budd Schroeder 1. Show empathy for the victims of the shooting. 2. Focus on the need for more attention to those who indicate a tendency for violence. 3. Pass a law to make it mandatory for school officials to alert law enforcement when they see a student who is showing tendencies for violent actions. 4. Stress the need for armed security in schools either by staff trained in proper responses and have the ability to be armed or having an armed person for security. That would add very little cost to a school budget. |
