Sorry for you New Yorkers, but I almost hope they pull this off, first so they can draw criminals from other states, and second to show how much of a failure gun control is.

The NY elected officials have abandoned Sandy victims for Sandy Hook victims...it seems.

The smart people are moving out!

Cuomo may announce what he wishes. Enforcing his announcements will be another matter altogether.

The elite dysfunctional politicos of our nation are now attempting to disempower the people, while they themselves have armed security, often 24/7.

Liberals tell us that legislation for rounding up illegal aliens is futile.

-—meanwhile-—

Liberals propose legislation for rounding up firearms from honest citizens.

“How many more children must die before Washington does something to end our gun violence problem?” the ad says.

If you are in England, where guns are much more scarce, apparantly 10 times more than in America.

Edited on US Violent Crime Rate: 475 per 100,000 citizens
(Year: 2003 http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html )

UK Violent Crime Rate: 4,100 per 100,000 citizens
(Year: 2003 http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs04/rdsolr1804.pdf )

What is it with quoting Firearm Homicide as being so much worse than being carved with a butcher knife or bludgeoned to death with a lead pipe?

It would be quite a coup for Cuomo, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, to show progress on gun control while Washington dithers.

These Pravda Propagandists don't even TRY to appear impartial. 8

Mr. Cuomo, still attempting to fill his daddy’s shoes, thinks that he can be a better king than Obama.

He’s a nut job! A dangerous, totalitarian, Communist nut job.

“Gun control is highly political, politically contentious situation. It is polarizing,” Cuomo said.

Da, Comrade Cuomo, it is polarizing. What else would you expect when you are dismantling the God given rights of the American people, expressly enumerated in their Constitution... serenity and meek assent?

You will be extremely fortunate if "polarizing" is all it remains, you nasty little tyrant! It is not like you are passing a law to change the speed limit on the Thruway or renaming a new state building in Albany.

“* New limits on the number of bullets in a gun magazine”

It is ten now. What will they go down to 2?

It's as unConstitutional and asinine as:

Email Alert from nssf.org on what this deal means

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED
Governor Cuomo Close To Deal On Sweeping Gun Control
Contact Your Legislators Today and Urge Them to Oppose This Plan

The backroom deals and meetings continue in Albany with little to no input from the law-abiding firearms owners, businesses, and manufacturers that proudly call New York home. Instead of focusing on the criminal misuse of firearms, Governor Cuomo is exploiting tragedies to strip away your Second Amendment rights. Senate Republicans and Democrats seem to be supportive of these new restrictions which will include a complete ban on all modern sporting rifles, and reducing magazine capacity arbitrarily from 10 rounds to 7, what is next 4 rounds? This restriction will impact almost 80 percent of semi-automatic handguns in New York. The magazine restriction will leave many New Yorkers unable to defend themselves and their family since most manufacturers do not make 7 round magazines. In newspapers throughout New York both sides say the deal is imminent and could come as quickly as Monday.
Here are some of the issues contained in the package being negotiated between Governor Cuomo, Co-Leader Dean Skelos, and Speaker Sheldon Silver:

1. An outright ban on ALL modern sporting rifles. Governor Cuomo even suggested confiscating legally owned firearms!
2. Outlawing all semiautomatic hunting shotguns with a pistol grip.
3. Further restricting your ability to defend yourself and family by arbitrarily restricting the magazine size. New York already restricts magazine capacity 10 rounds and seeks to furthur reduce magazine capacity to 7 rounds.
4. Limiting how much ammunition you can purchase AND possess.
5. Registration of all ammunition purchases.
6. Statewide New York City style gun registration; knowing full well criminals won't ever register their guns.
7. Re-registration and permit renewal every 5 years with ever increasing fees.
8. Mandatory gun storage laws, like the one the US Supreme Court struck down in the Heller decision.
Co-Leader Skelos is quoted in newspapers today saying that Republicans favor “limiting high-capacity firearm magazines.”

You must act immediately and call Governor Cuomo, your state senator and your assembly member to demand they respect your Second Amendment rights and not support legislation that burdens and harasses you the law abiding gun owner.
Tell them to instead focus on the criminals who are the problem.
