“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” While Assemblywoman Walsh broke her campaign promise to protect and restore 2nd Amendment rights she also broke her oath to preserve and defend the constitution as well where she provided support to unconstitutional measures on the following expressed in an email sent March 14, 2018: “Last week my Assembly Colleagues and I helped pass several measures to address the issue of gun violence across our state. While I voted in favor of bills that would ban bump stocks and increase wait times for gun buyers flagged as needing more time to vet through mandatory background checks, I strongly believe that we must turn our focus to improving school safety rather than only having a dialogue about gun control. We can all agree that we want our students and staff members to be safe when they go to school, and in order to do that we must bring together experienced experts to make recommendations and move forward with potentially life saving measures for New Yorkers.” Updating her constituents is certainly appreciated. However, Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh voted on criteria that suggest ignorance both on firearms and trends on violent crime in New York where one can only wonder why a yes vote would fly to begin with. Bringing in experts is also concerning as the anti-gun Democrats will make sure to find only those so-called experts intended to provide false and incorrect information. Transparency for those on a list for whom the ‘experienced experts’ will be is expected with alternative sources open to constituent’s advice, if necessary. The Assembly Speaker's claim is incorrect and false information on bump stocks Taken from Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s state website: “The legislative package includes measures that would prevent individuals determined to be a danger to themselves or others from possessing or purchasing firearms, establish a longer waiting period before delivery of a purchased firearm to a person who has not cleared a background check and ban devices that turn legal firearms into machines guns, commonly referred to as "bump stocks." Bump Stocks do NOT turn firearms into machine guns. His claim is false and misleading, intentionally or not, to all legislatures and to the public. It appears that there is a serious issue where legislatures are not appropriately educated on firearms where even the ATF does not recognize the Assembly Speaker’s claim that bump stocks turns semiautomatics into machine guns: “In a letter dated October 12, the ATF Association informed lawmakers that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) approved bump stocks because they do not turn a semiautomatic rifle into “a machine gun.” The ATF Association letter was written by the group’s president, Michael Bouchard, who said: The National Firearms Act of 1934, Title 26 U.S.C. 5845(b) defines a “machine gun” as any combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. ATF also holds that any item that can cause a firearm to fire more than one shot by the single function of the trigger is also regulated as a machine gun. The Las Vegas killer used a “bump slide” accessory that attaches to the stock of a semi-automatic rifle and enhances the rate at which the shooter can pull the trigger on the firearm. This increases the rate of fire close to that of an actual machine gun. However, under the current law, it does not make it a machine gun. A semiautomatic fires one round–and only one round–each time the trigger is pulled. An automatic fires continuously with one pull of the trigger. A bump stock allows a trigger to be pulled quickly–thus allowing the gun owner to mimic automatic fire in short bursts–but he is never firing more than one round per each pull of the trigger.” 1 The ignorance that Assembly Speaker Heastie is showing is troubling. Next on Reducing Gun Violence in New York What was the opening statement on Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s state website ? “Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie today announced the Assembly plans to pass legislation to help prevent and reduce gun violence in New York. “ Reduce? So what are the stats for New York? Released for data up through 2016 4.4 per 100,000 for New York Highest Alaska 23.3 Lowest Massachusetts 3.4 National Average 11.8 These stats were NOT all violent related. New York ranks the third lowest in gun deaths. See ‘Notes’ for sources and additional information. So where is the growing problem? Let’s dig into this a little further. According the NYS Crime Report Final Data for 2016 published September 2017, here’s what we find: Page 4 Referencing “Trends in Violent Crimes by Firearm 2015-2016”, Regional Trends: “Homicides increased (+1.6%), driven exclusively by a 10.2 percent increase (293 vs. 266) in homicides reported in the 57 counties outside of New York City. Homicides in the five boroughs decreased 4.8 percent (335 vs. 352). See Appendices 1 and 2 for more details. Despite the statewide increase, there were significantly fewer homicides when comparing 2007 to 2016: 808 vs. 628, a decrease of 22.3 percent. Homicides by firearm showed a similar trend, declining 27 percent. The number of non firearm related homicides also decreased (14.4%) when comparing 2007 to 2016, but there was a notable increase between 2015 and 2016 (+13.5%). It is important to note, however, that non firearm related homicides reached an all time low in 2015, with 230 reported.” Message to all New York State Assembly – Did you miss this publication or ignore it? Calling for reduction in gun related violence is deceiving and disingenuous, deliberately or not, to the constituents of New York when it is already occurring in a state ranking as the third or fourth lowest along with declining rates on recent trending years in 50 states for gun violence. The measures on several of these bills are suggest deception, ignorance and total lack of regard to the unalienable 2nd Amendment rights by attempting to pass laws on false premises. This is unacceptable. Although Assemblywoman Walsh does suggest not limiting the debate to only guns we see capitulating on bills that are unconstitutional, based on incorrect claims while incrementally removing rights of law abiding citizens which again, is unacceptable. More on Ignorance: Ignorance being a pervasive issue across the United States where an excellent commentary published March 9, 2018 in the Washington Examiner addresses this very problem: “It’s the ignorance of lawmakers, gun control activists, and media commentators that is inexcusable and insulting. Understanding the issue is the bare minimum required of their respective professions. Yet, so many simply refuse to learn the topic.” What is really threatening the safety of children? Consider the event that occurred in Pennsylvania where a student went on a rampage injuring 22, many seriously. Has anyone heard or even recall hearing about it? It occurred close to four years ago. Although it did make the news there wasn’t much attention given post the event and the story ‘quickly’ faded away. Why is that? Those who pay close and objective attention understand that it doesn’t fit the anti-gun agenda’s narrative. The choice of weapon was a knife. The student was arrested, charged as an adult and the case was closed as far as the media and the rest were concerned. The case doesn’t close for this obviously troubled student, victims and families. What were the underlying causes to begin with? Many will ponder a very common denominator of possibly being on anti-psychotic drugs. However, if he was or not on prescribed medications there is often another common anomaly that is revealed with these types of events: “The attacker “had the same expression on his face that he has every day, which was the freakiest part,” Moore said. “He wasn’t saying anything. He didn’t have any anger on his face. It was just a blank expression.” What is going on? There are so many points to consider. First, why are children being politicized for an event such as a walk out? If keeping children safe is so critical why are these children subjected to this type of psychological conditioning and indoctrination whether or not it is line with family or individual values be it from any other source to include the government schools and the state government? What right did the schools have to sanction this? Isn't this child abuse? Using children for political gain was also used by Hitler, Mao and Castro. In the meantime while we hear the fallacious calls by the state government to protect the kids it is clear they are NOT protected from the REAL reasons for causes! There is a much bigger problem. And certainly they are all encompassing. Any child that can survive today’s insane society without some degree of harm and tarnish is a miracle.
The surface was only scratched on these points. And one can only wonder why this poor child had a ‘blank stare’ at the 2014 incident. The insane everyday environment that he and all children are subjected to and being harmed from are right in front of all of you and all either fail/refuse to see it or are willingly partaking in, be it the ideology, accepting corporate campaign donations and promising their agenda’s, unconstituitonal federal program funding such as Common Core, pressure from within in order to tow the party line or state line and etcetera resulting in the destruction of these children. This is what they need to be protected from instead. Forget about all of that. Let’s focus on gun violence and that affects 0.004 percent of the New York population, where although every life counts pales in comparison to the genocide occurring at Planned Parenthood where New York ranks first on totals and pass additional unconstitutional laws that punish law abiding citizens instead. And really, forget the kids. They’re without question desperate for the sound guidance, wisdom and leadership that have been lost and now they are only lost souls. Of course, let’s forget that part. They’re only important as pawns in the game for political agendas in order to strip away more rights at least here in the state of New York government. 1 ATF Association: Bump Stocks Do Not Convert Semiautomatics into Automatics
