I am writing today since Albany routinely disrespects the rights of lawful gun owners.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo repeatedly ignores the needs of residents of the north country; he likes to pander to residents of the city. We need to get greater protections for lawful gun owners, not like the bills that are on the floor of the state Assembly.
That is why I am glad we have Elise Stefanik as our congressional representative. She has repeatedly worked to protect gun owners like me who just want to protect themselves in their own homes.
We need more representatives like her, not like her opponent Tedra Cobb. I will be proud to vote for Elise in November. And if you want to protect your Second Amendment right, you should too.

Not sure who's taking what guns....still got mine...same one's I've always had...still hunt..target practice..and enjoy same... ....very confident in my ability to protect myself and family...don't want or need an assault rifle, and frankly don't have a clue why anyone needs a weapon of war... SAFE Act hasn't changed my life with firearms at all.... Frankly, the diner gang(s) that think they've discovered an interpretation of the 2nd A that no one else has, and want to make their county exempt from gun laws and expect the rest of us to honor scare me more than any Politian...
stefanik is an enemy of this nation and you're whining about this issue? republicans have done a good job of leading you around with a nose ring. Given enough time, the republican party will be the ones taking your guns when it doesn't fit their elitist 1% agenda. What fools you people are.
Ms. Pickert:
Please tell me why you need a gun. And what type of gun, and why. And the number of bullets it should hold and why? (Lousy shot doesn't count!) And what exactly was disrespectful? (Disagreeing with you is not a disrespect.)
One in five families in Theresa are on food stamps. If you count Social Security and disability it is more like 40-50% of Theresa residents are on welfare.
Sorry New York is only paying your welfare bills, I guess you want to throw a temper tantrum about guns? Grow up and get a job.
