I'm glad to report that yesterday's rally in the state capitol appeared to be a success for 2nd Amendment supporters not only in New York, but across the nation. Indeed, it is estimated that there were between 7,000 - 10,000 people in attendance! Though the speech I wrote was not delivered verbatim (there was not nearly enough time), Assemblyman Gary Finch used it to form his brief address to the crowd.
NYS Assemblyman Al Stirpe (D-Onondaga, Madison Counties?) (who apparently voted in favor of the tight gun restrictions) reportedly was so flustered that he dropped the "f" bomb during a closed-door meeting with protestors.... not realizing the meeting was on camera until it was too late!
It was also reported that during a meeting NYS Assemblyman Samuel Roberts (D-Syracuse Area) stated that most of the people in his district felt Cuomo's SAFE Act was wrong, but that he would vote in favor of it again if he had a second chance simply because he himself thought it was right. This is literally the opposite of being a representative!
At any rate, below is a copy of the speech. Thanks again, and please feel free to pass this along to whomever you feel needs a brief history lesson!
