You are absolutley right Clint! The governors' fee proposal goes well beyond raising fees/taxes to meet the state's budget needs. This is an attack on the second ammendment rights of every New Yorker. The proposed fee/tax increases are so extreme that they can only be viewed as confiscatory.
I too have been a registered Republican my entire adult life. Unfortunately, there no longer is a difference between Republican and Democrat in New York state. I have changed my party affiliation to the
Conservative party.
By the way, good letter.
