No idea how anecdotal evidence is a rebuttal to "this group of people commits less crime than the public as a whole"
Like I said: Stuck in the 90s
VPC complains about "high-capacity pistols" with 10 round magazines:
VPC complains about "semiautomatic assault pistols" that people are "hosing down" neighborhoods with:
VPC is worried about the many people who will apparently carry S&W 500s if concealed carry is allowed:
VPC complains about hollow-point ammo, which the police overwhelmingly use because it's less likely to injure bystanders than other types:
"Handguns are in fact the least effective firearm for self-defense for all but a small group of individuals, such as police officers, who are well trained and maintain their skills with regular and intensive practice."

Weird argument to make if you just complained about hollow-point ammo
No idea how suicides are relevant to the ability to carry a handgun you already own in public
Anecdotal, and specifically avoids comparing that number to the public at large
No idea why they thought using multiple examples from New York would help their argument
VPC says "widespread devastation and death" will ensue if New York joins the 40+ other states with shall-issue carry:

Brady's former chief counsel has filed an amicus brief "in support of neither party" that argues Heller and Bruen were wrong, and that the Supreme Court should go back to the pre-Bruen means-end scrutiny that allowed them to win nearly every 2A case: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24/2…
Brady's former chief counsel uses the "fire in a crowded theater" argument:
Bold to assume that anti-gun states are caring about any of that before passing gun laws

The defendants note that the proposed amended complaint removes the previous claims (that were apparently too insane even for Everytown) and basically changes the entire lawsuit: civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/DocumentInquir…
"On cross-examination, he acknowledged that he stuck his phone about six inches (15 centimeters) from Colie's face while the translate app repeated the phrase 'Hey dips---, stop thinking about my sparkle' in English and Spanish." apnews.com/article/youtub…
"Colie backed away from the 6-foot-5 Cook (196 cm), who kept advancing toward Colie even as Colie said 'no' and 'stop' and pushed Cook's arm away. Then, Cook said, when the two were separated by a small distance, Colie pulled out an handgun and shot him in the abdomen."
"Cook said he's been posting pranks online for about a year. He said he was trying to avoid mall security while he filmed the prank on Colie because they had confronted him in the past. A survey of his YouTube channel finds a series of off-putting stunts..."
Wiese v. Bonta (E.D. CA): Ryan Busse's newest declaration in support of gun control is for CA's magazine ban (again). At $150/hr, it's almost identical to yesterday's filing in WA (without the part recommending bolt-action rifles for self-defense). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
