Once again you make a good point. If gunowners are voting these people in, then they/we deserve what we get but I believe the ones complaining the most are not voting. Votes and voters could change the tide, but I guess we will never know for sure unless by some chance they turn out at the polls someday. Until then I still tell everyone.....If you don't vote then don't complain.

You are correct Doc. I am not really a numbers guy and we all know figures lie and liars' figure. If the numbers are even close we are in sad shape. The claim is there is an estimated ADULT population of 15+ million in NY and only 3.1 million of those are registered to vote. Right around 20%. It is also estimated there are 4.5 million gunowners in NY state. If the numbers are true that would be over a million gun owners that aren't registered and do not vote period. You can't help those that won't help themselves.

I respect your opinion but there are approx. 13.1 million registered voters in NY State. In the last governor's election, a total of 5,902,996 votes were cast which is approx. 45.41% of the total voting population. Hochul received 53% and Zeldin received 47% of the of the votes cast. Against the total population of 13.1 million eligible voters Hochul won the election with 24.16% which means 75.8% of the voting population did not vote for her. Given the fact that roughly 54.6 % of eligible voters did not vote I would say we have a problem with voter turnout. 2022 New York gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

I have always enjoyed trapping and varmint hunting along with running hounds. Admittedly I got into for the money because a guy could turn a good buck in the course of a season. But as times changed and prices dropped I still pursued both because I enjoyed doing it. I don't own hounds anymore for a lot of reasons but would love to get back into calling and running some traps. Not for the money but more for enjoyment.

I guess if there is any good news from this is at least they are not going out of business. New York government keeps pushing their gun agenda and ONLY VOTERS will be able to slow it down. If they don't get out and vote when they should we will continue this downward trend. Lack of voter turnout will continue to be our demise. Low voter turnout is the major reason for our current situation and gun laws. The nation’s oldest gun-maker recently announced plans to shutter the factory in the company’s original home early next month, citing the steep cost of running the historic plant. Remington is consolidating its operations in Georgia, a state the company says is friendlier to the firearms industry. This small New York village made guns for 200 years.

Create a new law that requires certification (2023) and then eliminate the certified instructors without defining who will be accepted as certified instructors. Makes sense to me

Easy fix......Just need an antenna to plug into the TV and do a channel search. Most Rochester channels are easy to acquire with even the cheap ones sold at Walmart. I have a decent antenna mounted outside and can get around 47 channels. Don't hear too much good about Spectrum these days.

Have a Great Day....at least it is nice out for February
