NYS Govenor Cuomo calls for Gun Confiscation option in NY Times

[killbill 1]

Mr. Cuomo, speaking on WGDJ-AM, said gun control had not recently been among the most discussed topics in the capital, so he had reached out to lawmakers to gauge where they stood before he made his proposals final.

He added that he was focusing his attention on changing state laws restricting the possession of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. The governor described the state’s existing ban on those items as having “more holes than Swiss cheese.”

“I don’t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, ‘I need an assault weapon to go hunting,’ ” he said. At the same time, he noted that he owns a shotgun that he has used for hunting, and said, “There is a balance here — I understand the rights of gun owners; I understand the rights of hunters.”

In the interview, Mr. Cuomo did not offer specifics about the measures he might propose, but, while discussing assault weapons, he said: “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”

Mr. Cuomo said it was highly unlikely that lawmakers would reach a deal on new gun laws in the coming days, dismissing as unfounded suggestions that legislators would be called back to Albany as early as this week for a special session devoted to the subject of gun control.

Fucking off could be an option. The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting. I do not hunt anymore. I use my guns for recreational shooting with my family and self defence if the need ever comes up, so I'm not a fucking huntaman. He can pack that term up his ass. I'm so sick of hearing it. I'm A fucking upset Americam that has a right to defend my self. Correct? Sorry for the bombs but "huntsman" drives me nuts. Than man can place his hands in his pants and go fuck himself.

Very articulate my friend, well said! lol

 

I agree, they can take all this "hunting", "common ground", "I understand gun owners" bullshit and shove it right up their liberal, no sense making, unconstitutional assholes.

I have every right to own a carbine that is compact to protect my family and self. I doe'nt have a pistol permit. He should be happy. I want a Carbine that I can use in tight quarters if need be. My S12, and Saiga 7.62, or any other semi auto sporting non hunting carbine fit this bill. What because I do not hunt I loose the right to have a gun??? Fuck you Andy! Can I get him on discrimination? I AM NOT A HUNTSMAN.Does that mean I can't own a gun?

Yet, another moron politician who has no idea what The Second Amendment means. Or, he doesn't care. Too busy pandering to fucking moron anti's to bother learning what made this country great, and, KEEPS this country great.

Morons talking to morons.

 

I firmly believe that any fucking retard, wannabe politician, who runs for ANY public office, should have to take classes on The Constitution, and, PASS before being allowed to run for ANY office, including, Dog Catcher.

 

My patience with fools seems to be getting thin, lately. I should start drinking again.

This is a predictable tactic, knowing that there is going to have to be some negotiating even with a New York legislature, he is throwing everything out on the table in order to have as many bargaining chips as possible.

You guys should all become "huntsmen" and intentionally fire 29 warning shots at any and all game for "sporting purposes".

Already beat you there, buddy.

REVOLUTION?

 

In the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson:

"Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it’s evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.[1] Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government."

 

Not to belabor the point, but Cuomo can just suck it.
