New York State Rifle & Pistol Association: What is Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel Thinking?

ALBANY, NY (02/08/2012)(readMedia)-- Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel is appealing to the former Chicago Superintendent of Police for support to save her ill-conceived firearms microstamping legislation. Only in New York would an antigun zealot appeal to the authorities of a city that has been slapped for their unconstitutional laws by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Does it not stop? Governor Cuomo finally realized ballistic fingerprinting technology does not work and has called for abolishing CoBIS, an ill-conceived waste of money that has cost the taxpayers of New York approximately $40 million. Meanwhile, Assemblywoman Schimel continues to tilt at windmills by proposing more of the same scientifically disproven technologies which not even the State of California would implement.

How exactly does Assemblywoman Schimel plan to compensate taxpayers for the millions wasted on CoBIS? Will New Yorkers Against Gun Violence reimburse the costs for the worthless technology they misrepresented to the state legislature?

The legislature needs to see through the fog and stand up to the fringe special interests pushing these crackpot schemes.
