¾ of NYers Say New Law Requiring Permit to Get Semi-Automatic Weapons Will be Good for the State & 79% Hope Supreme Court Upholds NY Law Requiring Lic

[Madmallard]

For what it's worth.

Loudonville, NY. By 76-14%, voters say a new law requiring a permit to get a semi-automatic rifle – including being at least 21, passing a background check and taking a safety course – will be good for New York. By a similar 79-15% margin, voters want to see the Supreme Court uphold New York’s decades-old law requiring a license to carry a concealed handgun, according to a new Siena College poll of registered New York State voters.


A new law enhancing legal protections for individuals seeking or performing abortions in New York will be good for the state, 63-19%. By 60-24%, voters want the Supreme Court to uphold the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and declare Mississippi’s abortion law unconstitutional. Governor Kathy Hochul has a 46-37% favorability rating, compared to 44-34% in April. Her job performance rating is 41-52%, up from 36-57% in April, and 46% are prepared to re-elect her in November, compared to 44% who want ‘someone else,’ up from 40-45% in April.

There is no saving this state. No voting our way out. No candidates will undo this.

 

[99cummins]

Polls mean nothing. You can make the numbers say whatever you want just by who you ask. I’m sure people were polled in an urban area or college. Anyone here ever been asked about a poll?

 

[4WHLDRFTN]

Yeah,, Sienna poll also claimed that cumho had 80% fav

I totally believe this poll, and yes it includes people with pistol permits.
I have said before that the current case in the Supreme Court probably won't do a thing about the illegal, unconstitutional Sullivan Law or Pistol Permit Scheme in NY. It may remove "restrictions" in NY City.

However, this changes things.
This new "law" puts semi-auto rifles on the same plain as our current pistol permit scheme. This is a boom for NRA Instructors and FFLs. (Wow! who woulda thunk it)

Many NY'ers including current pistol permit holders don't have a problem with the illegal, unconstitutional Sullivan Law or Pistol Permit Scheme in NY. This poll shows how stupid and conditioned NY'ers have become. After all the Sullivan Law was created in 1911. 122 years ago.

Most NY'ers including gun owners think it is the same way everywhere else.
They are ignorant of the fact that in the other states, buying a handgun is no different than buying a shotgun like you would in NY. Now that ignorance has morphed into we are going to regulate the shit out of not just handguns, but we will start with semiauto rifles, Bolts and shotguns will be along in a few years.

What part of "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?

Keep in mind the majority of the population usually approves of the atrocious which is how and when they start. Death by government by the people who allowed that government to get into power.

 

[pjzwtl]

I can believe it. This state is still loaded with tools driving alone with masks on.

 

[Jmac00]

ley me get this right, A few weeks ago in another thread I said the state was doomed, you can say "stay and fight, but what has the got you"

Now you'al are starting to realize, this state is truly fucked. There is no saving this state. The people WANT to be controlled, they want to be coddled, they want government to take care of them.

Your option is: Move. Yes, the liberal disease is spreading. But I'll live in a free state as long as I can, or until I die, which ever comes first

 

[Grimscale]

What is this "76-14%" crap? Does this mean 76 people in their study, representing 14% of the total, agree with heil hochul's bullshit? How would that in any way be 3/4 of the new york population?

Or does that "76-14%" mean something else? I've not seen statistics listed like this before.

Maybe it means the percentages of NYC vs NYS?

That whole article is a mess.
Why can't they just say "we polled 100 people in a predominately liberal area and 14% of them agree with us, so we're going to say it's 3/4 of the entire population of the State".
Oh, wait, they did.

The NY gun laws on pistols is an example of the slippery slope of gun control. The 1911 Sullivan law was only a concealed carry permit. It was not needed to purchase or possess. There was no pistol registrations or you could only posses those pistols on your permit. That I believe that was added in the 1960’s. When I was adding pistols to collection in the 1980’s, there was no amendment wait time. I walked into county clerks office with dealer sales receipt, walked out with it on permit. Private sale we both walked into clerks office, she took it off his permit and added to mine. The county clerks office would attend major gun shows, You could buy a pistol, add to your permit and take possession without leaving the building.

These are generational changes and the gun grabbers are playing the long game.

We have been seeing this playbook being run on “assault weapons”. Safe act. Now safe act two. More restrictions on ARs. Then let’s bring all semi autos under the ban. Then NY compliant ARs are no longer compliant. Restriction and registration. You can see the end game.

I moved out of NY just before safe act. Planned to move back on retirement, but chose PA instead.

 

[ManualF150]

Soon NY will be a law-abiding citizen gun free zone.

Meanwhile crooks and thugs have more arms than the police...

 

[Celt]

It shouldnt matter if 99% think its good. Thats the intent of a Constitutional Republic, its to protect the RIGHTS of the minority against "mob rule".

 

[Jezman]

NY politics love the poll game, amazing most people think it is reality. Ignorant voters and crooked politicians makes for a great state.

A Sienna poll contracted by Bloomberg dollars with a poll only taken by the youngest person in each household. Yeah, that'll get the results they're looking for with that weighting. The 3 kinds of lies ... Lies, damn lies, and statistics

 

[Bigfoot]

I have 2 more years to go before I can get the fuck out of NY.

It's going to be a long 2 years.

There are at least 1 too many stars on the American flag.

Ditto. Stick a fork in it. It's done.

"Siena" They also said Hilliary by a landslide.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

AND Judicial Watch...NYSPA...GOA...work on other "important" issues in other States. I used to be a member of JW...GOA...even donated extra. Told them until NY becomes a target , I'm out.

 

[BerettaGuy]

An old police partner is coming to visit me in July.
I have to tell him about NY Gun Law and let him make his own decision.
Ain't living in the Unionized Socialist State of Radicalized New York great!
ps. Somebody tell Burce Sprigstein to shut up! NY is not part of the USA.

 

[GOPerfect]

All of the Courts will fail the citizens of this lost State.

So many hang on and pay such close attention to different Court Cases, as if there is going to be some kind of saving grace in the decisions made.

NY State will never go back to being in the column of free lands to live.

We are and we will be stuck with every law these assholes pass.

I say good, NYer's as a whole continue to elected the enemy. They are getting what they wanted.

The citizens as a whole are allowing this State to be destroyed.

A few years to go and I shall leave like the smart ones before me.

POLL = (P)eople (O)bviously (L)eaning (L)eft....

Sure. No doubt about it.

But does it make you feel better if only 3 out of 5 (60%) instead of the polls claimed 3 out of 4 people support it?

It's just background noise. This state is NEVER getting gun right back. There are far too many people who are totally ok living like they are south Ontario.

It's not just a license to carry concealed, it's a license to possess. Precious few understand this and you can bet that wasn't spelled out in the polling questions. Wording and order of questions is critically important and will swing opinion polls by 10's of percent.

Even so, I echo the opinion that this state is forever lost to the tyrants.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Pavlov would be proud of the conditioned response the government and media command of the drooling masses.

 

[OwnTheRide]

What is this "76-14%" crap?

76% of the people polled were in favor of the legislation, 14% were opposed, 10% were neither.

Biden vote counters.

 

[RedBreast21]

And you were expecting what? lol

 

[Truebeliever]

Most people don’t realize how hard and arbitrary the permit system is. Most think the permit system is like in other states where you fill out A FORM,( not a book of forms) and later you get your permit. Sort of like a passport or TSA pre-check.
The best case that SCOTUS will do in this case is make NYS a “ shall issue” state

 

[mark60]

I don't know a single person who was polled. I don't know a single person that's ever been part of a most Americans want more background checks poll.
