“You combine the high tax load along with the fairly restrictive and fairly anti-gun stance that the state has, it makes it difficult to do business selling a product that the state doesn’t like.” – Just Right Carbines GM Anthony Testa, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new gun-control law targets gun makers [at nydailynews.com]

  1. Yeah, late to the commenting game here, but after waiting almost 6 weeks I do finally have my StealthGear holster and I totally love it. Very slim profile, lightweight, and very comfortable. I honestly have no problem holstering my gun. The first couple times were tricky but that was just because I was getting use to the position and angle, after a little practice holstering is no issue at all. Time will tell how well it stands up to wear but at this point I’m glad I got it!

  2. Born in NY, raised in NY, still live in NY…but I won’t die here. I’m headed for greener pastures as soon as I can. Firearms manufacturers, dealers, enthusiasts aren’t the only folks that this state is running off. It’s a shame, but I believe their rotten little house of cards will have to collapse before any meaningful changes happen here. There’s only so much blood you can wring from your citizens.

    • I wasn’t born there, but lived there twice…just left. NY (the state) is one of the most beautiful places in the lower 48, and it’s a shame that it’s run by NYC-centric imbeciles. I miss the state and most of its people, but not its govt.

      “You combine the high tax load along with the fairly restrictive and fairly anti-gun stance that the state has, it makes it difficult to do business selling a product that the state doesn’t like.”

      Truth is, it makes it hard to sell or produce even the things the state does like. There’s a reason industries of all kinds (except wine, whine, and Greek yogurt) are deserting the state, and have been for the better part of a century.

  3. “An income tax equal to 4% of an individual’s income…In states which were at any point in time a part of the Confederate States of America, this tax shall be equal to 10% of an individual’s income. Taxes levied …pay reparations to the descendants of African slaves”

    This type of blatant discrimination completely contradicts the left’s agenda. This is troll bait if you ask me.

    • Don’t most blacks live in states that were formerly part of the Confederacy? So we tax blacks to pay reparations to blacks. That sounds like it would be as effective as a typical government program.

  4. Come on guys, this one is too easy.

    The guy’s name is Richard Cabeza.

    Cabeza is spanish for “head”.

    Dick is often short for Richard.

  5. I am many things, an American, a Patriot, an Insurrectionist, a Free Man.

    I believe people should be free, that they can do what they want so long as it does not bring harm upon another.

    I am proud of my Nation.

    I will die fighting for freedom before I die as a slave.

    I hate being categorized into a group, for I am not defined by a set of ideals set by another.

    I consider myself Insurrectionist because:

    I am in favor of the overthrow of the Governments of the US for their transgressions are great. However, the government must be reinstated with as little modification as possible. It went astray not because it was poorly contrived, but because it was deliberately taken off course by underhanded methods for greedy, selfish, un-American reasons. It is the people and the alterations that perverted our system to retain these very same people that need to be eliminated.

    It is not the revolution that scares me, for one thing that man is good at is destroying the works of other men. What scares me is who will be left to rebuild, how they will rebuild it, and what temptations will put them to the test.

    To me the goal is not revolution, it is not anarchy. The goal is the restoration of America, of Liberty, of Freedom. If we can achieve this without revolution, great, but be an insurrectionist keep the cards on the table and be willing to play your hand.

    We are supposed to be a Republic, not a Democracy. Can you keep it?

  6. Trayvon spelled backward is Novyart.

    The Urban Dictionary defines Novy as a bad texter. The UD defines art as: “The purpose of art is to create an emotional response in the person that is exposed to that art.” Therefore we can state that the deeper esoteric meaning of Trayvon’s name is that he was a bad texter who was into creating bad emotional responses in people.

  7. It’s not that counter-intuitive. A guiding principle has always been that you don’t have the right to use your liberty to harm others. Or more eloquently “your freedom to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.”

    How does this apply to the Second Amendment?
    Well.. I guess you don’t have the right to fire your rifle in a crowded movie theater. But you’ll note that evil, deranged people are perfectly happy to ignore that little detail and shoot up movie theaters anyhow.

  8. I wish there was a way to determine exactly what happened but there isn’t. Circumstances seem to indicate a conclusion that isn’t palatable to responsible gun owners…

  9. It tells me that mental illness may not just occur all of a sudden but develop over a period of time allowing a level of premeditation not thought of before!

  10. Emerson’s line is: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.” Don’t be that fool.
