Defense Distributed has come out with a new gun magazine, which they kindly named after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who just signed a ban on large gun magazines in the state. “He [Cuomo] wants to be associated with these magazines,” Cody Wilson, the 24-year-old law student leading the group’s efforts, told TPM. “Lets make that association permanent.”
Talking Points Memo is back up, meaning that their Anonymous gallery is as well.

So yes, these do mean the state has lower revenues, but it’s not because of special-interest spending. (Oh, and read the document directly – it’s informative.)
