If someones gonna shoot at me I would rather have them just point instead of actually aiming at me, I dont know about you guys

If they cracked down on gangs or drug dealers they would save 100 times more lives and reduce gun crime

NYS Congress: LIES! We won't turn on our constituents! Let's take out on law-abiding citizens!

Well I e-mailed the "corrections" to Sen Padavan, let's see if he willing to look  at the facts instead of the feelings.

1 Section 1. The New York state legislature finds that semi-automatic
2 assault weapons are military-style guns designed to allow rapid and Not true: "assault weapons" have full auto capability. Full automatics are heavily regualtes by the Federal Government since 1934 and prohibited in NYS.

3 accurate spray firing for the quick and efficient killing of humans. The Not true: One cannot accuratly control a weapon during rapid or automatic fire, and "spraying" would envolve even more rapid movement, thus prohibiting the "efficient killing" of persons. Killing a person or animal efficiently with a firearm reguires a well placed shot.

4 shooter can simply point - as opposed to carefully aim - the weapon to ANY weapon can be "pointed" with the exact same results of pointing an "assault weapon"  As with any firearm, a well placed shot requires careful aim.

5 quickly spray a wide area with a hail of bullets. Gun manufacturers have  Since these "assault weapons" are semi-automatic only, ANY semi-automatic firearm could be used in the manner mentioned. "Hunting rifles" which you've all sworn would not be regulated  fall nder this same catagory.

22 ing most gun owners, believe that assault weapons should not be avail-
23 able for civilian use. Not true:  Of thousands of gun owners posting threads on dozens of web sites, NONE have indicated that they were serveyed or that they support increased anti-gun legislation.
You folks that still insist on following the Democratic partys play book on pushing gun control are putting yourselfs in grave danger of looseing more seats in the Assembly and Senate. If you don't think you're playing with fire, you just let me know and I will send you multiple internet sites where you can get a "feel" on what gun owners in New York State think about having more of their rights stripped.
