    nickles and dimes add up. Are you willing to give half of your retirement to support such follies as Cuomo wants?

    Driving is a priveledge. Bearing arms is a right. Also the second is not just for hunters they are just putting up barriers to gun ownership.

    NY State suffers because of the control caused by the small liberal land mass. The state residents are abused with high taxation because of the waste and demands of NYC.

    Kids used to take their rifles to school for the first 200 years of our countries existence. There was no problem. No one had to pay a fine or take a class to own a gun.

    How does having insurance make it a barrier to gun ownership? Would you not have homeowners insurance or liability insurance for your business in case you get sued?

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    I never realized that the United States was 2,000 years old. As far as kids taking their rifle to school, I can only assume that the school authorities decided that rifles served no purpose and didn't belong on school property.

    ...sigh...the 2nd A is OUR insurance policy.
    You're confusing realities..............
    why not buy insurance for your food when you buy it. It makes good sense since you might get sick......

    "This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty.... The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction."
