It’s ironic you see TV commercials on Fox News telling us that if we open a business in New York, we don’t have to pay taxes for 10 years, or something like that. Ironic because Cuomo is not a job creator, but a job destroyer that will be sending ammo sales to other states.

The legislation, put into effect incrementally since Jan. 15, 2013, bans the sales of some popular semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines, requires federal background checks on private gun sales, and imposes felony penalties for illegal gun possession.

“I often buy specialized ammunition, and to buy that in a gun store tends to be very expensive,” he said. “I understand the store needs to make a profit. But now when my supply runs out I’m going to have to make a choice — do I want to pay the extra price at a gun store, or drive 50 or 60 miles to go across the border into Pennsylvania?”

Go to Pennsylvania, my friend. The other day I heard some NY gun dealers bragging that the SAFE act doesn’t affect them, that only 10% of the weapons they sold were banned. Well, maybe now it will affect them, maybe now they will protest.
