How Popular Is Junior Cuomo's Gun Control Law?

To give you an idea of how popular Andy Cuomo's (Fuhrer Cuomo as he is variously referred to locally) new gun control law is in the Empire state, here is a map of counties that have passed or are considering resolutions opposing the new law.  Most of those yellows will turn green in short order and we'll be left with the NYC region, Albany region, and Tompkins County (essentially Ithaca, which is referred to as '8 square miles surrounded by reality') as the only places that didn't stand up and actively tell the Governor to stick his new law.  Also, the "Two New Yorks" movement will get some traction out of this, I think.

UPDATE:  I'm replacing the map as updates come in.  Jefferson County is now a big hunka green up north. Votes coming up in Dutchess and Monroe.

UPPDATE:  Map is gettting greener...Ontario and Dutchess counties added.

UPPPDATE:  Franklin Co. up north goes green.  Dutchess moves back to yellow, the affirmative vote was just in committee, the full county legislature votes next week, but it'll go green. Also up next week, Seneca, Chemung, Columbia and Schuyler.  Broome County votes on 3/21, definitely headed to green.

UPPPPDATE (3/12):  Schuyler, Dutchess, Chemung, Chenango all go green.  Clinton will be green by tomorrow morning. Seneca, Broome, and Essex will be green within 10 days.

UPPPPPDATE:  Seneca goes green.  Looks like Clinton will take another day and Columbia votes tonight, very likely to go green.  Sullivan votes 3/21.

UPPPPPPDATE:  Columbia and Clinton go gree.  Three more to go before we have the entire state minus the 800 pound progressive gorilla in NYC and two small pockets opposing the new law.
