How many of NYC’s billionaires and hundred millionaires will move to Florida? Even the Bloomberg’s of the world can’t afford those kind of levies.
And these numbers don’t include social security tax, which was previously proposed to be 7.5% on the “rich” (>$400K per year, currently it’s...

So far in 2021, the NYPD has recovered 135 ghost guns and 45 frames — figures that lead cops to believe they’ll find more than the previous high of 145 last year.

Whew. I thought we would be spending $6.5T. But now it's 1.2T in infrastructure and 3.5T in free stuff. What a deal! And they can completely ignore the early signs that we are headed for disaster, like today's blowaway CPI number...
Eric Adams = not progressive enough. So 100,000 new votes "materialized" to close the gap between Eric Adams and Kathleen Garcia to less than 15K votes, with 120,000 absentee ballots uncounted.

Tish James has given us this press release today that would seem to intend major changes to Article 35 of the Penal Law, aka Justification, aka self-defense.
The changes seem aimed at police but these may be implemented more broadly. They include:

FWIW, lots of inventory including ammo. Just beware when bidding for ammo you enter the price per box multiplied by the number of boxes you want. Be careful about that.

No, not the recoil. It was the thought that it was over $1 per shot at today's prices and I burned through 4 boxes of slugs.

It's a Umarex/Glock 19 in .177 caliber BB. The weight and balance are uncannily accurate relative to a normal Glock 19. It even includes a safe action trigger like the real thing. I figure this will make a good winter training aid when coupled with a pellet trap.
