Backdate: Something we missed in the flurry of the moment --- Both Kings County Conservative Party Endorsed State Senators, Golden and Felder, joined Senate GOP leader Skelos and voted for Cuomo's gun bill --- But the Conservatives can't bring themselves to say it out loud

The Kings County Conservative Party doesn't seem to like it one bit, but can't give proper voice to their frustration 

Up to now I hadn't made any mention of the vote of State Senator Simcha Felder in favor of Governor Cuomo 's anti-gun law simply because he is not formally a "Republican" from Kings County.  However,  I now see that was a mistake.  Felder was endorsed by the Conservative Party, Felder aligns with the GOP caucus and Felder was strongly assisted in his run for the state senate by State Senate Republican  Leader Dean Skelos.

So as to avoid any similar mistakes or misunderstandings in that regard, here is the complete NYS Senate vote on the Cuomo anti-gun bill that was later passed and signed into law:
Ayes (43): Adams, Addabbo, Avella, Boyle, Breslin, Carlucci, Diaz, Dilan, Espaillat, Felder, Flanagan, Fuschillo, Gianaris, Gipson, Golden, Grisanti, Hannon, Hassell-Thomps, Hoylman, Kennedy, Klein, Krueger, Lanza, Latimer, LaValle, Marcellino, Martins, Montgomery, O’Brien, Parker, Peralta, Perkins, Rivera, Sampson, Sanders, Savino, Serrano, Skelos, Smith, Squadron, Stavisky, Stewart-Cousin, Valesky  ***  Nays (18): Ball, Bonacic, DeFrancisco, Farley, Gallivan, Griffo, Larkin, Libous, Little, Marchione, Maziarz, Nozzolio, O’Mara, Ranzenhofer, Ritchie, Robach, Seward, Young  ***  Excused (1): Zeldin   (Source: "Brooklyn – Simcha Felder Joins Skelos, Golden to Vote Yes on New Gun Law," January 15, 2013,  Gestetner Updates [http://gestetnerupdates.com/2013/01/15/brooklyn-simcha-felder-joined-skelos-golden-to-vote-yes-on-new-gun-law/]).

It is not surprising that the Kings  County Conservative Party is somewhat nonplussed  that both of it's  endorsed state senators from Brooklyn voted in favor of  Cuomo's gun bill, but it's somewhat obvious  that they are clueless as to how to address that problem.  Conservative County Leader Kassar is apparently  in a witness protection program  in Minot, North Dakota under an assumed name and is  operating through surrogates on the issue of the new anti-gun law.

After a tough-talking start, the Conservative Party Blog seemed to lose its voice about the NYS Senate's passage of Cuomo's  “Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act” or “SAFE ACT”  ( See "New York State Senate Needs More Balls: Was Passage of Fast Tracked Anti-Gun Legislation a Cave-in to Cuomo’s Political Aspirations? What do you think? January 15th, 2013 |  Author: Ross Brady" [http://brooklynconservativeparty.com/]).  The problematic nature of the posting about the senate passage of the gun bill is reflected by it's interrogative voice and style rather than being something more assertive. Could the problem be that there is no way to rationally address any "Cave-in to Cuomo’s Political Aspirations" by the state senate without mentioning  the complicity of Brooklyn's only Conservative-Republican State Senator Martin Golden or his Conservative-endorsed sidekick Simcha Felder.

It's all so very much like past discussions of the state senate's handling of "the love that dare not speak its name"  gay marriage bill. Only in the case of the current  discussion of the senate's passage of Cuomo's  “Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act” or “SAFE ACT”  it's  about the Conservative-endorsed state senators that are now, each of them, like a " love that dare not speak its name".
