Liberal Congressional hopeful Jack Schlossberg—grandson to President John F. Kennedy—needs to make political hay by demanding that states with so-called “weak gun legal guidelines” needs to be penalized as a result of weapons from these states find yourself utilized in crimes in New York, however the Residents Committee for the Proper to Preserve and Bear Arms says he has it backwards.
Schlossberg is campaigning to succeed Democrat Jerrold Nadler, longtime consultant from New York’s twelfth District, who’s retiring and won’t run in 2026. Schlossberg made headlines within the New York Submit by declaring, “There’s an unlawful stream of weapons into states throughout the nation from a pair states with weaker gun legal guidelines. We should always no less than have a penalty to make it possible for we will fund enforcement of this frequent sense concept.”
Nevertheless, CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb countered, “How about penalizing New York for all of the criminals they launch on cashless bail, who then commit crimes in different states?”
The veteran gun rights advocate stated New York doesn’t have a “gun drawback, it’s received a legal justice drawback.”
Earlier this yr, President Trump signed an government order directing Legal professional Common Pam Bondi to submit an inventory of states and native jurisdictions which “considerably eradicated money bail as a possible situation of pretrial launch from custody for crimes that pose a transparent menace to public security and order, together with offenses involving violent, sexual, or indecent acts, or housebreaking, looting, or vandalism.”
“Schlossberg is pandering to far-left Democrats along with his gun management concept,” Gottlieb noticed, “moderately than acknowledge it’s liberal Democrat insurance policies which have allowed repeat offenders to roam the streets of America, committing crimes and bringing distress to sincere folks, a lot of whom have bought firearms to guard themselves from recidivist criminals who needs to be doing time in Empire State jails and prisons.
“New York’s legal justice system is a practice wreck,” he added, “and all people is aware of it. Whereas prosecutors and courts go gentle on repeat offenders, politicians in Albany and New York Metropolis go exhausting on law-abiding residents for exercising their Second Modification rights. It’s time to carry the New York political institution accountable for the difficulty it causes, as a substitute of penalizing states which acknowledge the rights of law-abiding residents.
“President Kennedy, who was Schlossberg’s grandfather and an NRA member, might be shaking his head and rolling his eyes in Heaven,” Gottlieb concluded.
