Books and More Laws
On Wednesday, SCOPE suggested New Year’s resolutions and one of them was to read 2nd Amendment books. One member followed up and asked for a list.
How about you, the members, suggest reading material and we will publish a list in a future Email.
Please Email SCOPE at SCOPENYinfo@gmail.com with the name and author and a short description.

In October, Governor Hochul signed A.9862A / S.8479A which will require payment card networks to use certain merchant category codes (MCC) for ammunition and firearm dealers. New York becomes the third state, joining California and Colorado, to enact this requirement.
(This, of course, is a step to creating a gun registry so that guns can be confiscated. Expect, at first, only certain firearms are confiscated and then the list expands. Doubt that? See what happened in Canada – our 51st state? But as a warning to leftist politicians, also see what just happened to Prime Minister Trudeau who was the instigator behind it. Oh, and how did the anti-2A candidate for U S President do in the last election?)
Also signed by Hochul in October, S6649/A2882 requires firearms dealers and gunsmiths to post warnings at sites where firearms are sold and distribute warnings at the time of sale, including that firearms increase the risk of suicide, death during domestic disputes, and/or unintentional death to children.
(How would Hochul feel if an FFL posted a sign next to it which truthfully says something like: Numerous studies have shown that firearms are used defensively between 500,000 and 2,000,000 times every year. I add ‘truthfully’ since many on the left have a rather distant relationship with the truth.)
In October, the NYPD reported - and anti-2A organizations have echoed - that since January 1, 2002, 18,750 guns have been taken off the streets in NY City.
(What they don’t tell you is how many of those guns were illegal! But the left will use this statistic as a reason to write more anti-gun laws that the criminals will ignore and have no impact on the number of guns taken off of NY City streets.)
