Gov. Cuomo said the panic that erupted in Times Square after a backfiring motorcycle mistaken for gunshots sent people fleeing from the area shows just how “terrified” the nation is in the wake of the mass shootings over the weekend.

Panic in Times Square after motorcycle backfire mistaken for gunshots ​”That’s where we are. You hear a noise, you run. That’s the state of this nation. We’re petrified,” he said Wednesday during an interview on WCBS 880 radio. The governor also railed about the “impotence of government” for its failure to respond with any substantial gun control legislation, as well as the Democratic presidential candidates, who he was are “all over the lot.”

In an interview on CNN, Cuomo urged the 2020 hopefuls to “make it a simple clear choice for the American people” and sign on to a “Make America Safer Pledge.”

It shows NYC is terrified. That’s on you, Cuomo.

Well, you and the MSM. A lot of folks there are scared of the big bad climate too. I can’t help you with either. My country (Kentucky) is different culturally than yours. It’s why I moved here.

I did take a second look when I saw the cops standing over a man on his knees near the Walmart gas pumps yesterday.
I repeat.. these leftists are suicide bombers to create a crisis. Find the money trail. The left has been arming en masses since 2015.
I was not terrified. I was mostly annoyed.

Apparently NY’s draconian gun control laws has failed to comfort the populace. Not to mention, anyone who has spent time at a range could tell the difference between a gun shot and a motorcycle back fire.

We’re fast becoming a nation of sniveling, short-attention-span, hysteria-prone children. And our “leaders” — and self-proclaimed betters — are a bunch of super-cereal junior high grrrls.

The “impotence of government” has passed all manner of gun control legislation, yet fails to enforce it.

The student who shot up a school down in Florida was reported to various state, local, and federal authorities forty seven (47) times, that we know about, with ever increasing urgency and alarm, including specific statements claiming along the lines of he will “be your next school shooter”.

There are serious problems in America. A lack of legislation is not one of them.

19 years later, I still cringe when I hear a low-flying airliner.

But I dont ask for airplane bans.

Only in Noo Yawk and other disarmed hive cities does a motorcycle backfiring send the sheeple citiots running for cover. Out here in Free America, we practice with our Freedom Tools (rifles, pistols and shotguns) all the time.

Don’t inflate and “pop” a paper bag; you’ll start a panic!
