My magic "8" ball tells me that every gun bill brought up for a vote will pass the Assembly

THEY FAILED!!!!

I'd be against all, exept the first two...................lets keep our kids safe, and if not, take the blame

THEY FAILED!!!!

Who Failed? I thought this wasn't going to be voted on until May25th

I'd be against all, exept the first two...................lets keep our kids safe, and if not, take the blame

Okay but the first bill would make it a crime to use your gun for self defense. How would you be able to use a locked gun for self  defense.


btw... there is this smoking hot chick at work that is killing me, she has a really nice arse....

Quoted: THEY FAILED!!!! Who Failed? I thought this wasn't going to be voted on until May25th

I'm not sure what he means.  The .50 bill is out of the codes committee and has been referred to the ways and means committee because it has financial implications. EVERY other bill from post #1 except A5213 has been reported to the assembly for a floor vote. Our only hope is that they are killed in the Senate.


A04471 Actions:

02/10/2005 referred to codes                                                  
05/17/2005 reported referred to ways and means

The .50 bill provides for the reimbursement of up to $8,500 to owners of lawfully possessed .50 rifles in NYS.   The W&M committee will determine the cost and impact on the NYS budget if this bill is enacted.

On page A22 of todays Newsday.  The bills failed to "get the nod" from the rules comittee, which prevents them from being debated on the House floor.  Unless I'm reading something else

Can you send a link to that article?

It will be a cold day in hell when the Assembly codes committee doesn't advance an anti-gun bill in NY.

Gun-control bids blocked
From no-fly names to foreign felons, McCarthy measures on blocking buyers fail to make cut in House

WASHINGTON BUREAU

May 19, 2005


WASHINGTON -- It's common sense that a person barred from flying on a commercial plane because of suspected terror links should not be able to buy a gun, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said, and Tuesday she offered an amendment to a Homeland Security funding bill that would stop such purchases.

But that measure and five others offered by McCarthy, including one that would prevent people convicted of felonies in foreign courts from owning firearms, failed to get the nod yesterday from the powerful Rules Committee, which decides what does and does not get debated on the House floor.




 






"We're checking the shoes of 80-year-old grandmothers, but right now if you're on the no-fly list, you can still buy a gun," said McCarthy (D-Mineola), who is casting her signature issue, reducing gun violence, as one critical to the safety of the country.

A spokeswoman for the committee said it selected about a dozen amendments, from more than 90 offered, that best "covered the different issues raised by the members."

Andrew Arulanandam, the National Rifle Association's public affairs director, said he could not comment specifically on McCarthy's amendments. However, speaking generally, he said the amendments were deeply, conceptually flawed.

Arulanandam said barring people from buying firearms because they are on a no-fly list could cause law-abiding citizens to "be denied their civil rights." He said people have been put on the list by mistake.

"No one in the country, with the exception of a handful of people, knows the process of how to get on the list or off the list," he said, noting that the name of Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) once appeared on a no-fly list. It was later removed.

Likewise, Arulanandam said, preventing people from buying firearms if they've been convicted of felonies abroad would be unworkable because standards vary around the globe.

"In certain cultures, the very act of being a missionary is a serious crime," he said.

While some of McCarthy's amendments were not immediately germane to the homeland security bill - such as closing the gun-show loophole that allows purchasers to avoid background checks and reinstating the assault-weapons ban - their outright rejection is illustrative of how inhospitable the climate is in Congress for any type of gun control legislation, political analysts and lawmakers of both parties said.

"It's an issue right now that I would say there is no great enthusiasm for on either side," said Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), who also has introduced a "no-fly/no buy" bill.

Democrats have been skittish on gun control out of an unfounded concern that it was a loser for them, said Robert Zimmerman, a member of the Democratic National Committee from Great Neck.

McCarthy said she's prepared to keep on fighting.

"Though I work on a lot of issues, I know I'm here because of the gun issue. And I'm not going to give up."

Another one who should go F*u&k herself...I don't even feel sorry for the loss of her husband anymore. If he or some one had a CCW maybe he would not have been slaughtered like a sheep.

So instead of trying to fight for the right to carry she would rather fight to take it away so more people can join her husband...Like I said GO F(*CK YOURSELF and join your husband

Dateline is Washington, so these are federal versions of gun bans that failed. The new york ones will pass the legislature.

shootemup, the article you referred to is from the The U.S. House of Representatives.  The bills gunnnut listed are from the NYS Assembly.

All the anti-gun forces in the U.S. Congress are in a tither. They can't get any of their BS anti-gun legislation out of committee never mind enacted into law. Unfortunately The NYS Assembly is controlled by NYC democrats and almost every anti-gun bill is assured of passage in the Assembly. Our saving grace for the moment is the Republican controlled Senate.
