Cuomo calls for government shut down over gun control

In delivering the eulogy Saturday for an aide killed by a stray bullet on a New York City street, Gov. Andrew Cuomo stepped up his calls for national gun control.
The remarks came Sept. 26 at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Brooklyn during the funeral for Carey Gabay, 43. The Harvard-educated Gabay was the first deputy general counsel at Empire State Development, the state’s chief economic-development agency, and had been shot in the top of the head earlier this month at 3:41 a.m. while taking cover from gunfire before the annual West Indian Day parade. Taken off life support on Sept. 16, he died, leaving behind his wife and Jamaican immigrant parents.
While neither the shooters nor any of the seven weapons used in the gunplay that ultimately killed Gabay has been found, Cuomo railed against arms coming up from the South along the so-called “Iron Pipeline” into New York City, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.
“It’s not enough for New York State to pass a gun law and close the front door when the guns are coming in the back door, when the guns can come up from Virginia or South Carolina for anyone willing to take a car ride,” said Cuomo.

Notice how leftists never blame the criminals? Because they are black criminals and their core constituency.

Isn’t it already illegal to own a hangun in NYC?

Lemme see if I’ve got this right...
Lefties okay with shutting down govt to prevent legally armed American citizens from protecting themselves from crazy murderers....
....but, no govt shut down to prevent licensed murderers from killing our innocent unborn.
Got it.
Disgusting.

I am of the opinion that there are not enough guns on our streets. In a properly working society, it is the criminal who fears the citizen, not the other way round.

Hey Gov, how about get the criminals off the streets. That is your problem, not inanimate objects.

Hitler confiscated guns.
He knew you did not need 10 ‘buwets’ to kill a ‘dweer,’ too.

The ‘annual West Indian day parade’ has been a recurrent source of fighting and gunfire. But the fact that the various groups of blackamoors can't control themselves and not get into brawls and gunfights has nothing to do with the problem. It's those guns that cause those nice boys to just lose their heads and start shooting.
To: Jane Long
That’s right. Its OK with liberals to shut down the government if done in support of a liberal cause. But shutting down government for other reasons is unthinkable because to do so will hurt those who depend on government services.
But the liberals don’t care about cutoff of government services if they can shut down government to make their political statement
To: Red in Blue PA
If the criminals are white they will blame them.
But blacks have weaker minds and can’t overcome the mind controling powers of guns./sarc

"and had been shot in the top of the head earlier this month at 3:41 a.m."Sorry for his family. He had the same right to be in a sketchy neighborhood at 3:41 A.M. as any other American -- but what was this civil servant doing in a sketchy neighborhood at 3:41 A.M.?

Although Cuomo is not very bright, he is dangerous. He has a goal to get to the White Hut and will smear himself on any issue that he knows little about but tries so hard to appear to have more knowledge of than we in the great masses.

Amen. If you find yourself at the mercy of some criminal, you failed at some part of your duty to civilization.

Isn’t it already illegal to own a hangun in NYC? Only for the 99%. The elite like movie stars and billionaires (Trump for instance) all have full carry privileges.
