A sobering email received from NRA-ILA today reminded me the fight is never over when it comes to protecting our Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Especially for us New Yorker's this week.
Complete list taken from NRA-ILA is as follows, please take the time to contact your representatives and request them to vote no on the following legislation.
