| New York: Governor Introduces New Gun Proposal |
| Friday, May 29, 2009 |
|
Please Continue Checking Your Email and www.NRAILA.org for Updates Earlier this week, Governor David Paterson (D) introduced a proposal that would set up a process by which pistol license holders would be “recertified” every five years by having a NICS check performed. |
How about at the time of a criminal conviction you are forced to surrender all your firearms?
Change "Gun" to "Income" and you'll have it about right. NY is hard up for money.
Instead of constantly checking up on non-offenders, people who have the right to own a gun,
why don’t they instead focus manpower, databases, and continual background checks on felons who are NOT supposed to have guns? Why not make life tougher for the people who can’t have a gun?
The answer is none of these laws are put forth to do anything about criminals. They also have nothing to do with your safety or anything like that.
Time to eject the governor.
And replace him with who, Andrew Cuomo? New York is a lost cause. Prepare your exodus like I am doing.
Good for you. They take too much of your money in taxes to give to people who didn’t earn it anyway.
If you like the similar kind of climate and terrain, Ohio is good. The Carolinas are good.
Thanks :) I am very lucky in my location in that I was able to relocate to Pennsylvania - 5 minutes from my current location in NY - and not disrupt my life any. If only every poor soul trapped in NY could be so lucky.
So presumably the Founders have to continually recertify the Bill of Rights, too. This, of course, is bogus; citizens do not require the permission of The State to exercise rights bestowed upon all men by God.
That can't be true. I heard Patterson say that he was glad Rush left and took all his tax money with him.
No one would make a stupid, idiotic comment like that if they were hurting for money! Would they??
Yes. Idiotic comments are a stock-in-trade for politicians. Witness Joe Biden as a good example.
I lived in New York for four years. Trust me, they are always hard up for money.
Hope Rush likes his new home.

There's a problem with the date. Maybe the weather feels like May.
That just makes too much sense for NY politicians.
Maybe we should start a *Another Reason to Leave NY* ping list.
Oops. Make that 6-3-09
Wednesday June 3, 2009.
sorry
LOLOL!
Yup. I can just see it:
Jones: "Okay, Smith, lets run that background check on John Q Felon Jr. again."Smith: "...Why, it's really peculiar, Smith, he still has a criminal history!"
So apparently you didn’t understand the point I was making.
IE - why don’t they spend all their time harassing and checking up on people that they know should NOT have guns. You know, like harass them when they go around a school zone, check them for weapons periodically, or if a crime happens in their neighborhood. Or if they;re driving around in their car.
If they are going to treat law-abiding folks as criminals that need to be registered in databases and have to report all their guns and all this crap, why won’t they do the same kind of intrusive and illegal things to known criminals that everyone knows should not have a gun? Then when you find one on them, they’re back in jail, off the streets.
The difference is that they’d be doing a better service looking at known criminals with this kind of scrutiny than law-abiding gun owners. Treat the criminals as criminals, not law abiding gun owners.
1) Rewind the clock to before 1938 and allow ex-felons to own guns. Now you've got zero bacground check issues. You want a gun? Walk into a store and buy one. Just like that. Remember, these laws are the wedge by which your ownership rights are being infringed, while the ex-convicts who want guns will get them anyway.
2) Ramp up the penalties for the use of a gun in a crime and, if you like, steeper penalties for reoffense.
I know, I know, this would let Teddy "the Fish" Kennedy own a gun. Is that really so bad?
I keep saying it's a bad thing to take away others' rights. That has ways to come back and undercut your own. As we have seen here.
