New York –-(Ammoland.com)- From Long Island to Buffalo yesterday’s election results are a repudiation of gun control and politicians supporting the New York SAFE ACT. Here are the results.
On Long Island:
- * SAFE Act opponent Lee Zeldin defeated New Yorkers Against Gun Violence endorsed incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop in District 1.
- * SAFE Act supporter Assemblyman Ed Hennessey was defeated by pro-gun Dean Murray in District 3.
In the Hudson Valley:

- * New Yorkers Against Gun Violence Board member and endorsed candidate Justin Wagner was defeated for the second time in Senate District 40.
In the Capital District:

In the North Country:

In Central NY:
- * NRA endorsed John Katko defeated antigun incumbent Congressman Dan Maffei in District 24.
In Western NY:
- * NYSRPA endorsed Peter Lawrence defeated New Yorkers Against Gun Violence endorsed Gary Pudup in Assembly District 134.
- * New Yorkers Against Gun Violence endorsed incumbent and SAFE Act supporter Senator Ted O’Brien lost in District 55.
- * New Yorkers Against Gun Violence endorsed incumbent and SAFE Act supporter Senator Mark Grisanti lost in District 60.
“While Rob Astorino was unsuccessful in his gubernatorial bid, much of his loss can be attributed to the lack of support by the Republican establishment,” said NYSRPA President Tom King. “Elsewhere, in elections across the state, gun control supporters were the clear losers. In fact, loss of the Democrat majority in the State Senate can be directly attributed to the current administration’s gun control policies.”
King concluded, “If the Republicans were smart they would learn from this. If not, they should consider this as well: In spite of the fact that Senator Martin Golden fully supported the so-called SAFE Act, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence still came out and publicly endorsed his opponent.”

I hope that cuomos lackys realized online ammo is more traceable than over the counter sales. Purchasing online give the seller names and addresses.
Or bloombergs bodyguards
Don’t sell guns or ammo to Cuomo’s bodyguards.
As a lifelong resident of the once great State of New York, I say good riddance and many more to follow. The progressives in New York keep themselves in office through a myriad of skullduggery including, but not limited to, not requiring ID to vote thereby allowing a million or more illegal aliens to participate in our sacred right, gerrymandering, erecting hurdles for challengers that are all but insurmountable, etc., etc., etc. I see a lot of posts denigrating states like mine but, I am here to warn all Americans. We have failed to take seriously our Founders most fundamental… Read more »
