ny-a-astorino.jpgRob Astorino is the only pro-gun candidate in the New York race for Governor!

Rob Astorino knows that the Second Amendment isn't subject to negotiation, because our right to defend ourselves is the cornerstone of our democracy. He also knows that the extreme agenda pushed by gun control groups will make us less safe, less free and turn law-abiding gun owners into criminals for simply exercising their rights.


Rob Astorino is committed to protecting the Second Amendment and will oppose all attempts to ban lawfully-owned firearms and magazines. He will stand strong against President Obama and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control agenda. For the following reasons, Rob Astorino has received our endorsement and an "A" rating by NRA-PVF:

Checkmark

Rob Astorino is an outspoken critic and publicly called for the repeal of the SAFE Act, which sought to lower the state's magazine capacity restriction to 7 rounds, require a background check to purchase ammunition, reclassify thousands of commonly owned semi-automatic firearms as "assault weapons," and force anyone with a firearm classified as an "assault weapon" to register it with the government as well as prevent in-state transfer or inheritance of that firearm.

Checkmark

Rob Astorino opposes microstamping. Introduced annually, microstamping seeks to force firearms out of the hands of law-abiding gun owners by driving up the price of ammunition and firearms as well as causing some manufacturers to refuse to build and offer for sale compliant firearms.  This "technology" would be easily circumvented by criminals using household tools and will have no impact on crime or public safety.

Checkmark

Rob Astorino opposes magazine restrictions and gun bans on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms used for hunting, recreational shooting and self-defense.

Checkmark

Rob Astorino supports a person's right to carry a firearm for self-defense and important self-defense legislation like the Castle Doctrine.

Checkmark

Rob Astorino submitted a perfect 2014 NRA-ILA NY Candidate Questionnaire. He is the strongest candidate in this race and has committed to defending your Right to Keep and Bear Arms in New York.
