Sprung on the State Senate TODAY, as per our state senator's office.

the sooner they do this the better to the current supreme court can shoot it down for the unconstitutional garbage it is.

Most New York City gun crimes involve weapons illegally brought into the state scumbags who should have been in prison a long time ago.

There. Fixed it.

[edcoil]

“Most New York City gun crimes involve weapons illegally brought into the state, state and city officials say.”

Of course this is true, everyone knows there are no guns in NYC.

I'd like to know how some brainiac came up with seven rounds as a limit.

(Posted previously re: Delaware, applies just as well here:)

Since this is being rushed through as a response to Sandy Hook, I'm sure they'll explain to the citizens of their state EXACTLY how these laws would have prevented the Sandy Hook killings, right?

I mean, if they wouldn't have stopped Lanza, then this would just be naked political opportunism, wouldn't it?

“I’m very excited about it.”

The jerk. I hope he gets primaried out.

Article says:
“I am very confident we are going to vote on a comprehensive bill that will be agreed on by the governor, the Senate and Assembly.”

But not the PEOPLE!

Closed Door session so they can't hear what the people say.

It's an outrage that the NY State Republicans are agreeing to this rushed bill that won't do a thing for stopping incidents such as Sandy Hook. It will only try to make felons of law abiding citizens that have exercised their right to keep and bare arms.

I beleive this is unconstitutional on a Federal level.
I beleive this is unconstitutional on a State level as it is in violation of the State Consititution .

This is another “Ram.., ..Bam , thank you Ma’m “ emotional legislative reaction to get Cuomo higher in the Dem’s list for potential candidates for the next Presidential election.
It is a sign of leadership failure .

[Puppage]

"I think when all is said and done, we are going to pass a comprehensive gun bill today," Sen. Jeffrey Klein told reporters Monday morning.

Which will do absolutely NOTHING that the more than 10 thousand current state & local gun laws already on the books can't do.

But hey.....it feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels good.

Other elements, pushed by Republicans, would refine a mental health law to make it easier to confine people determined to be a threat to themselves or others

All you people out there that think "something just has to be done to help stem the violence, blah blah blah"...had just better realize this. All those prescriptions you got for Ambien, Trazadone, or Valium, ANY painkillers at all, or Ritalin for your kids - anything that makes you drowsy, changes your mood, metabolism (e.g., diet pills) ARE going to be logged into Obama's ACA (AKA ObamaCare) medical database, and these freedom-taking bastards will disqualify you for Guns, and likely for many other things they find out they don't like.

You have been warned!

with closed-door negotiations

 

One problem right there. No open deliberations in front of "the people" with live mics and cameras rolling. Just deals struck in the shadows to be promptly sprung upon a disenfranchised citizenry. Tyranny.

Seeing as the Gestapo in the federal government use the interstate commerce clause to twist and distort the constitution at every turn then tell me why this ban is not a direct affront to interstate commerce?

[panaxanax]

Just ran into our local NRA rep in town and he told me that inside sources say that Cuomo’s bill is going to limit folks to 10 guns.

Waiting for his email and will post link when received.

[Big Mack]

Makes me Wonder which part of “shall not be infringed.” they can't get their rat sized brains around.

[Secret Agent Man]

...closed door negotiations....

taking way rights under the guise of legitimate legislation, behind closed doors, away from prying eyes...

[Prospero]

Ain't it great? Everyone agrees, "in closed-door session."

Nothing like "government in the sunshine, eh?

You know, it just might be possible to divide this country along state boundaries again, after all...

Call your NY representatives. They are meeting behind closed doors and don’t sound like they are going to abide by the three day rule for posting a bill before voting on it!

[Trod Upon]

Ok then. I’m cancelling next summer’s planned trip to NY, and will be instating a personal boycott of NY products and service providers. Maybe I’ll spend my vacation dollars in Texas.
