It’s about time:
Good.
This is the town I grew up in. Have been to this Shul a few times. What's happening is something I never imagined. We can never let them win.

Of course, there was some triggering. Only the anti-Semites should be afraid though:

This does present a problem to law enforcement officials in New York, however:
The Second Amendment is for everyone who knows the government cannot or will not protect their inalienable rights at every given moment of every given day.
Those don't look NY-compliant but I dare @NewYorkStateAG to investigate and charge them. I dare you. https://t.co/Rtccbf1Zmw

Over to you, Gov. Cuomo:
Good for them. Curious to know what @NYGovCuomo thinks. Should they be arrested for open carrying rifles in violation of state law? https://t.co/cggn6ZgVq5
