I looked a lot into him. He’s a libertarian, he has a lot of support. He is PRO 2A and wants to get rid of the safe act, etc. he’s a very good canadite and is probably cuomos biggest competitor. Please take a look.
Larry Sharpe For Governor of New York 2018
“Why are so many college graduates unemployed, and why are more people leaving New York than any other region in the country? New York used to represent innovation, growth, and opportunity. But we’re quickly losing that edge to the highest tax burden in the country… and the worst business climate to match that. Government has gotten too big, too expensive, and too out of touch. Corruption and inefficiency are costing us jobs and leaving people behind. That’s a problem, and as Governor, I promise you a solution. WHAT ARE YOU MOST CONCERNED ABOUT IN NEW YORK?”

How New York is Entering an Endless Tax Spiral, and How To Stop It
How the Second Amendment Protects All the Others
It’s Always Time to Defend Our Rights
The Second Amendment protects the First Amendment. It’s always a good time to point that out.
I personally don’t like guns. I’ve had a few run-ins with angry people who’ve used a gun to make a point and criminals who’ve used one to coerce others to their will. No one got hurt, but it was scary each time.
I wish no one had a gun. But wishing doesn’t make it so. That’s not operating in the real world.
Guns exist, and we have to rationally deal with that fact. Notably, the government has guns—lots and lots of them.
In the wake of shooting tragedies, pundits and politicians often tell us that it’s not the time to discuss rights. People are told it’s a time to grieve . . . for thoughts and prayers. That seems reasonable.
However, lately, many have rejected the thoughts and prayers. They are calling on people instead to pressure our representatives to address the violence. On those occasions when they get specific about how that’s to be done, it typically involves making it harder to get a firearm and taking guns away from people who’ve done nothing wrong.
And the speed with which pundits and legislators move to promote laws which would necessarily infringe on your right bear arms is astounding. Florida was voting on legislation within days of the Parkland shooting.
The legislation to take guns is already written, awaiting the right moment to be introduced. And that moment is when emotions ride high from a tragedy—praying on people’s understandable shock, anger and grief.
But Due Process demands a legislative body rationally deliberate the merits of legislation—including its legality. And almost all gun legislation fails that test in several ways. The Second Amendment exists and it’s quite clear—the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The Fourth Amendment protects your right to privacy which mandatory background checks violate. The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination and many gun registry laws violate this right. And like all other parts of The Constitution, these protections apply to all levels of government—including state and local. These are laws which our representatives have sworn an oath to defend.
No Victim, No Crime | Larry Sharpe for New York
NO VICTIM, NO CRIME
NY SAFE ACT, DRUG LAWS: STOP PUNISHING PEOPLE FOR PRETEND “CRIMES.” PARDON THOSE ALREADY IN JAIL.
by Dan Smith
It used to be common sense that you needed a victim in order for a crime to have been committed. No one would argue that if you steal, commit fraud or physically hurt someone—i.e., there’s a victim, a crime had been committed. And in that case, the law needed to step in to protect the victim and punish the perpetrator.
In almost all other cases, where there is no victim, no one would think law enforcement had a role. Culturally, we may frown upon some behaviors, but we didn’t expect anyone to be prosecuted when consenting adults hurt no one else other than possibly themselves.
But today you can be jailed or fined for any number of infractions. If you hurt no one, but put the wrong substance in your body, if you have the wrong piece of equipment in your home, if you sell a prohibited item to a willing buyer without a state license, you may face fines or even jailtime.
On the more ridiculous side, cities and towns across the nation have been shutting down children’s lemonade stands. It’s gotten so bad that Country Time Lemonade has offered to pay for fines and fees of children who commit the heinous act of selling the cool beverage on a hot day.
Turning our attention elsewhere, some people think we need laws which prohibit behaviors which in some rare cases lead to someone getting hurt. Prohibitions of all sorts suffer from this failure of logic. Just because someone commits an actual act of violence with a certain type of weapon or dies after ingesting a drug, that doesn’t mean that the millions of others who own that same weapon or drug are guilty of a crime. That’s fear-based ‘guilty until proven innocent’ backward logic. This is where our nanny government has gone too far in trying to run our lives.
