SCOPE Banquet:  Attorney General candidate to be at SCOPE banquet

New York Attorney General Letitia James has ridden rough shod over the judicial system in New York, using it to punish those of which she does not approve, using what is now called ‘lawfare.’ A Grand Jury is investigating her for using her office to deprive Donald Trump of his rights as she ran for NY State Attorney General on the platform of ‘getting’ Donald Trump and the NRA. 

She also accused Donald Trump of real estate fraud but she is now being investigated for real estate fraud, herself. 

James has actively defended NY’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act as well as proposing a law to make it illegal to purchase ammo in another state without going through NY’s background check.

Without question, she is an enemy of 2A.

At the SCOPE annual banquet on September 27th,* a 2026 election challenger to James will be there.  Mike Henry is running for the Republican nomination for NY Attorney General. 

Henry leaves no doubt about where he stands on Letitia James.  “The time for politicized justice is over. The NY Attorney General's office under Letitia James, has turned into a partisan weapon and has to be defeated.”

We are familiar with Letitia James and her stance on 2A but the banquet will give you a chance to learn more about Mike Henry in face-to-face meetings and discussions.

The 2026 Attorney General election is vitally important to the future of 2A in NY State and this gives you an opportunity to ‘scope out’ a candidate.

The banquet Emcee will be Canisteo native Bob Lonsberry. 

Lonsberry is a conservative American radio talk show host, columnist, and author. Also, an Army veteran and marathon runner.  His frank opinions are often controversial and always interesting.

Lonsberry has been a newspaper reporter, columnist, photojournalist and editor, as well as a magazine writer and commentator on radio (Radio talk-show host at WHAM, WSYR, WGY and WAIO) and television.  He has also been a TV reporter and manager.

Lonsberry has spoken at SCOPE chapter meetings and he will make the evening interesting.

The SCOPE banquet is on September 27th at the Palmyra VFW, 4312 NY Rte-31, Palmyra, NY.  It starts at 5:00 PM.

Tickets can be found either online at scopeny2a.org, in the newest Firing Lines, or you can download an order form. Deadline to RSVP is September 12th.
