SCHUYLERVILLE — As the debate over gun control heats up following back-to-back mass shootings, the industry has a spokesman with unparalleled access to U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, the No. 3 Republican in the House: her husband.
Matthew Manda works as the manager of public affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, based in Newtown, Conn. The trade group — whose stated mission is "to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports" — was among the plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit seeking to block a New York law that increases potential liability for gun manufacturers. The suit was dismissed by a judge in Albany earlier this week, though an appeal is likely.
Manda frequently writes for the NSSF website and other outlets about the group's events and policy stances. "Law-abiding Americans choose over and over again to take their personal safety into their own hands and purchase a firearm," he wrote in April in a piece about a "Congressional Fly-In" hosted by the group. "Congress needs to ensure the industry is free from ‘woke’ corporate discrimination.”
The Washington, D.C., event featured "dozens of firearm, ammunition and accessories industry leaders who spoke face-to-face with elected officials,” Manda wrote. Among them was Stefanik, who "added her enthusiasm to elect more Republican women to Congress is heading in the right direction as several pro-Second Amendment women will likely join the Republican conference at the start of next year." Manda's article did not mention she is his wife.
Manda did not respond to a Times Union request for comment. An NSSF spokesman refused to say when Manda began working for the group, calling it "personal information."

So, third-ranking Republican, how is that out of context?“I was thinking the other day about — somebody had mentioned on the radio Adolf Hitler and how he aroused the crowds,” Paladino responded, chuckling a little bit as he said the Nazi dictator’s name. “And he would get up there screaming these epithets and these people were just — they were hypnotized by him. That’s, I guess, I guess that’s the kind of leader we need today. We need somebody inspirational.”

NY-21 Democratic challengers spar over gun law stances
MAURY THOMPSON Special to The Post-Star Jun 10, 2022
Candidates in the 21st Congressional District Democratic primary are trading barbs about gun laws.
Matt Putorti criticized Matt Castelli, the party’s endorsed candidate, for being indecisive about banning “assault weapons,” and Castelli criticized Putorti for using Castelli’s position as the basis for a fundraising solicitation.
Putorti, a lawyer from Whitehall, and Castelli, a former CIA counterterrorism official from the town of Saratoga, are running in the Aug. 23 primary to determine the Democratic nominee to challenge Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, in November.
Putorti raised the issue in a recent press release, after Castelli, in a May 31 television interview on WWNY-TV in Watertown, was asked about a federal assault weapons ban. Castelli responded, “I’ll take a look at any piece of legislation that might come before me in terms of trying to evaluate respecting the needs of lawful gun owners in our community and protecting the security of our children in our schools.”
Putorti, in a telephone interview on Tuesday, accused Castelli of posturing, in an attempt not to offend either side of the gun law debate.
“There isn’t any reason for that kind of political calculation,” he said.
Castelli, in a telephone interview on Wednesday, said he was not posturing, but would not make a blanket statement without knowing specifics of the legislation.
Terminology that’s being thrown around is broadly defined, and could apply to guns other than military-style weapons, he said.
Putorti, on the other hand, said that early in the campaign he committed to support a ban on assault weapons.
“We have a gun epidemic in our country,” he said.
Castelli said it was poor taste for Putorti to use their difference on banning assault weapons as the basis of a campaign fundraising appeal at a time when people are grieving recent mass shootings at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo and an elementary school at Uvalde, Texas.
“I was disappointed to see that he would put out a fundraising appeal,” Castelli said.
Putorti said it is Castelli who is in the wrong.
"I find it outrageous that after children were gunned down in their classroom that someone running as a Democrat lacks the backbone to support something as common sense as banning assault weapons because he is worried about his political career," Putorti said, in a follow-up statement.
