National Pro-Gun Protests Bring Thousands Out at New York State Capitol

Gun owners ticked off by control-freak politicians

Thousands of gun owners rallied at the state Capitol in Albany on Saturday to protest the state's tough new firearms regulations.

The massive protest, part of a National Gun Appreciation Day, was in part triggered by the quick manner the bill was passed last week.

Bypassing the traditional three-day review period, Gov. Cuomo put the bill to an immediate vote in the Assembly after it passed the state Senate.
