Politicians, Guns and Newspapers

As much as I have an issue with Gannett with their whole gimicky way of doing things, I have to say that this article (that Yahoo News is referencing) is muckraking journalism at its best.

But as we all know, I have a real strong dislike of state Senator Greg Ball, the Republican from Patterson who represents Putnam County (and if I am not mistaken also represents parts of Westchester and Dutchess as well). This quote of Ball's really busts my balls, pun intended:

The asinine editors at the Journal News have once again gone out of their way to place a virtual scarlet letter on law abiding firearm owners throughout the region.

And who made you God? You are part of the reason why I have a strong dislike now for Putnam County, an uptight d**kw*d of a county. I don't care that you served our country in the military. I appreciate all of our men and women in uniform, veteran or not. But you come off like a snob. A real snob. People like you make me only want to enter politics more. And how the hell did Putnam County become a Republican one-party place?

No part of New York should have a Southern United States mentality.
