I applaud the Express-News and the reporters and columnists who brought the issue of drunk driving to readers’ attention in last Sunday’s edition. No one likes to discuss the lifelong damage — physical, psychological and financial — to the victims, and their families and loved ones. I know because I am one of those victims
Six years ago, I was asked to write a play addressing the urgent issue of gun violence in America.

By a margin of 7 million votes in 2020, American voters tossed Donald Trump into the trash bin of history. Lest there was any doubt, on Nov. 8 voters sent Trump on to the dump. Nothing good will ever happen again for or to Trump aside perhaps from a split Supreme Court decision or two

By Chris Pearson, Spring Valley Image: CC via Bing November 25, 2022 (Spring Valley) — Republicans support guys with guns because they hide behind the 2nd Amendment and cower before the NRA.

President Joe Biden is protected by semiautomatic firearms yet told reporters Thanksgiving morning that he cannot understand how sales of semiautomatic guns continue, as they have “no social redeeming value.” Biden said, “The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick.

An Albany legislator in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s hometown is taking aim at the NRA — but not for promoting gun sales. Instead, state Sen. Sean Ryan (D-Buffalo) is pushing to stop the group from promoting gun safety in New York. Newly-introduced legislation would do that by stripping the group of its near monopoly over certifying

In a move that surprised absolutely nobody, anti-gun New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) announced last week that she would expand her assault on the Second Amendment by targeting ammunition sellers. AG James claimed, “39 ammunition sellers have been shipping ammunition directly to New York residents in violation of New York’s SAFE Act.” According
