Late last night, New York Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, one of the few Republicans with a strong enough spine to stand up to the new gun legislation, released the following statement on his Facebook page.
"Here it is. This is the video where I was asked to keep the Democrat proposals for the NY SAFE Act away from the public. This list was given to me by a colleague and it is not confidential.
This bill was an attack on the 2nd amendment and the Democrats clearly wanted to dismantle the work of the Founding Fathers. None of these amendments were included in the final bill thanks to us fighting back. I will not stand silent while these unpatriotic proposals are pathetically thrown at us a 11 oclock at night."
In the video clip (seen below), McLaughlin is prepared to discuss a list of original proposals from the Democrats regarding gun control. The list, much in the same vein that Governor Cuomo himself had discussed, actually proposed the confiscation of guns and clips
This is essentially a Democrat wish list for trampling the Second Amendment. Here is the video...

The Party of Slander systematically smears the rights of the people. What they mean by assault is actually defense. What is the estimate on the number of guns in the country - 100 million, out of a population of 300 million children, superannuated denizens of nursing homes, and adults? Many gun owners have more than one, of course, but youd have to think that there are 30 million gun owners.And what is the number of gun murders annually? On the order of 5 per hundred thousand people, or 50 per million. 50 per million people, times 300 million people, would be something on the order of 15 thousand annually. So as a very rough guess, for every 15 gun murders there are 300,000 gun owners - or twenty thousand gun owners for every one murder in a given year.
IOW, for every gun owner who will commit a murder with a gun this year there are about 20,000 who will not. From this we can readily conclude that almost all gun owners get their gun(s) for reason(s) other than an intention to commit murder. Instruments to be used to assault" is what they are not. Naturally, therefore, anyone who wanted to oppress the 30 million adults who have guns and the 270 million people (to say nothing of posterity) who have not obtained guns yet but who retain the natural right to do so in the future would slander the manufacturer and the owner of instruments used almost exclusively for entirely legitimate purposes as traffickers in assault weapons.
