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.

You kidding? They're lying not stupid. We have to stop underestimating them. They know quite well what they're doing. They are feeding the stupid unwashed voter a line of crappola and have done a darn good job of turning their lies into votes.....example: 8 years of zer0bummer.
Exactly. He’s a liberal. That’s what they all want.
I have posed that question to many libs and they are quite consistent. If the Constitution conflicts with what they want, they are clear that the Constitution should be ignored.
Shut down the government. Keep it shut down. All they do is cause trouble.
He’s got no problem with abortionists killing babies, but good Lord, you shouldn’t be able to arm and protect yourself from being killed by a thug.
Shouldn’t we first get rid of all the Guns the ruling class has employed to protect themselves??
All Persons granted a special privilege to :keep and bear arms, without being infringed” shall be Guilty of a Felony punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence of not less than 20 years in prison for using said privilege in defense of others for profit or gain.
At least he wants it shut down for something he believes in. The repubs should take a lesson and shut down the govt over planned parenthood funding
I doubt he even knows what’s in the Constitution.
Just like his media brother is ignorant of the Constitution.

we all live in the same world of cops, criminals and citizens. conservatives know this and want citizens at least as well armed as the cops and criminals are. liberals also know this but do not want the citizens armed because their constituents are cop unions and a large criminal base.
If we wanted to live in a totalitarian state, Andy, we would move to New York.
Notice the scum bags say the words “drive down to” to make you think someone can cross state lines to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer. A 50 year old law prohibits that.

No this is one idiot.
Not everyone wants to watch the world burn which is what shutting down would do.

Welcome to FR.
I’m sorry, I can’t quite make out your comment. Can you please explain?
Thanks.
Of course they won’t hesitate to shut it down. Meanwhile in the GOPe house and senate in DC, business as usual.
Thank you for your welcome. I appreciate finding a place that I hold common ground with.
I am not quite sure I understand your question. Shutting the Government down is not a solution IMHO to anything.
Yup— one might also ask why we’re importing gangbangers from the Caribbean— is there a local shortage? Do we have a special H1B visa for gangbangers?
Not enough for fascists like Cuomo to deny his own citizens their rights. He has to go after citizens of other states.
And I'm sure Cuomo is very familiar with how back doors work.
