Default RE: NY Blaze Orange Bill

Ya know I told you guys a story, hoping a certain point would come across your shallow minds.
What stood out in your story far more than anything else had NOTHING to do with blaze orange. It was thatYOU VIOLATED AFUNDAMENTAL RULE OF FIREARM SAFETY.Did you think we wouldn't notice or were you just oblivious? Now you have the audacity to call us shallow minded! You sound like a 10 year old who has just been scolded and then resorts to name calling.

Ok I made my point in the previous post. But honestly I feel too many of you guys are missing the point this bill is strictly about safety, andfor our own good. Too many excuses are being made here about why they shouldn't have to wear a little orange. I mean come on give me a break alreadly. Not 1 person here can't say they hate seeing orange on other hunters while hunting, or that their choice to wear camo doesn't place themselves at a higher risk. Ya gotta be totally ignorant if you don't!
So now we are ignorant if we don't see it your way? The point that seems to illude you is that no one is arguing that blaze orange isn't a good idea. The question is should it be law. I for one am simply tired of the self righteous nanny state attitude that people like you spew out. We can't have a system that passes a law to enforce every good common sense idea. It has to stop. As far as I know, there is no law prohibiting the wearing of blaze orange so if you want to wear it then wear it. Set an example and encourage others to wear it. That's how people in a free society should do things. Not pass laws regulating every little aspect of our life. Can you imagine the reaction of the founders if they were told that one day the government would pass laws regulating what someone must wear when they go hunting?

Look, literally hundreds of thousands of hunters wear bo. I didn't see a hunter this year who wasn't wearing it. And this all came about without any law requireing it. How come? Do you think just maybe, the people of NY state are smart enough to make their own decision regarding this matter?
