New York Gov. Andrew “Madness” Cuomo, has successfully pushed through his anti-civil liberties gun control legislation. The most odious aspect was the limiting of magazines to only seven bullets since most semi-auto pistols have magazines that carry at least ten, Even the venerable M1911 carried eight! While this is a travesty for the millions of law-abiding gun owners in the state of New York, it also sounds the death knell for the Republican Party in the state of New York.
The Republicans control the state Senate with a coalition of renegade democrats. Even without the Democrats, the Republicans still had 31 of the 63 seats in the State Senate.

Cuomo in about a day (the Democrats in the Assembly had a 100-49 advantage already). To make matters worse, this was rushed through after a non-public secret deal behind closed doors was struck.
Here is a list of those who aided and abetted Andrew “Madness” Cuomo’s attack on the 2nd amendment: Mark J. Grisanti, Kenneth LaValle, John J. Flanagan, Philip Boyle, Carl Marcellino, Kemp Hannon, Jack Martins, Charles Fuschillo, Dean Skelos, Martin Golden, and Andrew Lanza. All of these turncoats were from New York city or Long Island. All of the upstate Republicans voted NAY.
In the Assembly, five Republicans voted YES: Brian Curran, Chad Lupinacci,, David McDonough, Tom McKevitt and Dan Losquadro. Again, the yes voted came from New York City or Long Island. ALL of the upstate Republians voted NAY.
Clearly, the Republicans in the state of New York can no longer be trusted due to the actions of the New York City and Long Island state Senators. The party has effectively committed suicide. Thankfully, New York as an active and ready alternative to the Republican Party: The Conservative Party in New York.
