Bass Pro Supports Andrew Cuomo

Yesterday, August 20th, the Bass Pro store in Utica, NY allowed Cuomo to enter and use their facility for a photo op. It is hard to believe a store that sells firearms and who has a customer base that are primarily gun owners would support this man. Please take a moment and e-mail Bass Pro at: basspro@mailmw.custhelp.com Tell them what you think of their support of a tyrannical arch enemy of the Second Amendment. Many people in New York State are requesting that they issue a national statement condemning Cuomo and his unconstitutional gun laws.

Ray-- around here, the signs are all pointing to him being Federally indicted very shortly for direct involvement in--- wait for it ---hindering a State Government corruption investigation. You can't make this crap up. He is despised and hated by sportsmen and gun owners more than any politician in the history of the state. They are waiting to break out champagne on the day he is charged.
more than any politician in the history of the USA.
This is really not correct. Since the SAFE Act was forced thru by Cuomo in secret during midnight hours, he has gone to great lengths to avoid contact and criticism by the gun owning public. He will not make announcements of appearances in the upstate area without much more than a few hours lead time notice. No opposition or demonstrators are allowed to get anywhere near him when he is speaking. Security is very heavy. The venues are highly controlled, generally they are held on private property so public property access cannot be claimed. He has ordered "First Amendment Zones" near his appearances. These are pretty much fenced in cages where people are kept a long distance away from his speech locations. He would never just "pop in" to a place like Bass Pro. The risk of being confronted by gun owners is way too high for him. You can bet the store was in on this and the area was cleared for him to do his PR stuff. You (lucky) guys not from New York State have no idea what this person is really like. He is an absolute gun HATER. Bass Pro slapped every gun owner in the State of New York--- and the USA---- right in the face by cooperating with this man. They are a disgrace to the firearm sales industry. They had an opportunity to embarrass him and call him out for what he did to New York and wants to do to your state,too. He had visions of the White House, but is now caught up in a major Federal corruption investigation that has pretty much ended any national office hopes he had. Bass Pro is not deserving of a pass in this matter. Sorry for the long post, the facts need to be known.
Checked out his twitter page and you're right about the pictures at Bass Pro. The problem is, he was there just like anyone else can go there and put pictures up on twitter. It's not as if he was invited by Bass Pro, and they can't just kick him out for no reason either.
Of course they can. They can't say "you're Italian, leave now" but they certainly can say they don't want him in their store.

News Flash to liberals everywhere: If you want to get internet idiots to put gun stores out of business for you, just walk into one uninvited and have your picture taken. The idiots will boycott the store, thus victimizing it twice.

I was really against boycotting Bass Pro just because Cuomo dropped in until I saw this. Now if we threaten to boycott Bass Pro unless they drop the sponsorship or move it to a different state, maybe Cuomo will realize what can happen when he messes with us.
If we could get enough events such as this taken away from NY, then maybe he'd get a clue that there is a country beyond his domain and that his policies are not as popular as he thinks.

No....but that does not mean we are "bent over and taking it".
Perhaps you should think before you speak ill of fellow gun owners.
Look at the NYers on this board....does it sound like we are the sort of people that just give up and wring our hands? You must be thinking of the sheep in the cities.
You stance is just what gun grabbers want. Divide and conquer, right. Thanks for your support and words of encouragement.
Cuomo is trying to promote bass fishing tournaments in the state. He went to Bass Pro (which also promotes bass tournaments) to further that cause.
How in the world some of you can translate that into "Bass Pro Endorses Cuomo's Anti-Gun Stance" is beyond me. And then you want to boycott the entire chain of stores because YOU failed reading comprehension?
Rant mode off.

Well, then, how about boycotting Cuomo?

Yea but he is on his 7th wife now. I think his cousin was his third wife. Not only was she a cousin but she was 13 too. He had just divorced his other wife who he married when she was 14.
I guess he liked them young,
Here she is:
Andrew Cuomo likes them a little older. He has a shack job that is a TV Cook.
I think some of you have it bass ackwards.

Anyone interested can take a look at the above link and read about this law. This is the watered down version that was passed. Initially, weapons confiscation was proposed, and they could have passed it. They backed off as they knew violence would take place. Anyone who is not in this state to deal with what was finally passed and observe the behavior of Cuomo has the lack of comprehension. We know all to well what we are up against, and cutting him and Bass Pro slack for promoting fishing is not an option here. This stuff will spread like a cancer if people like Cuomo are not challenged. It could come to your state too, and there is a guy in the White House who would love to implement this nationwide. New York gun owners have a documented 4% compliance rate with the registration requirements. The treasuries of our gun rights organizations are cleaned out from fighting them since 2013. New York city controls everything here, even tho the vast majority of the state is very rural. The bottom line is that companies like Bass Pro supporting him is an absolute disgrace and it has completely disgusted the people here in light of what he has single handedly done to the gun owners in the state.

Thank you!
I'm here for another 7-8 years...I'll fight the good fight while I'm here.
Ironically, I am looking for a place in south-western Virginia.
