Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on the federal government to protect New Yorks borders by enacting a gun control law that will keep weapons from entering the state.
ALBANY Rather than trying to protect the countrys borders to keep Mexicans out, Gov. Cuomo on Monday called on the federal government to protect the states borders by enacting a gun control law that will keep weapons from entering New York from other states.
They're so worried about the border with Mexico, worry about my state borders, Cuomo said during an appearance on WNYC radios The Brian Lehrer Show. I'm not worried about Mexicans coming over my border. I'm worried about assault weapons coming over my border.
If you want to protect borders, start by protecting the borders of states and respect their gun laws, which this federal government and the (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) have been all but wholly absent on.
Cuomo made the comments when asked about criticism that New York City has seen gun crimes go up this year even after the state enacted a tough new gun law in 2013 in the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings, even though the NYPD said it was the safest summer in years.

What about illegal aliens?
Yes, I want to hand over my Sovereign State to the control of the Federal Government...
Does this not violate his Oath of Office to the People and the State of New York!!!!
They are so into self satisfaction that unless the sky is truly falling they will just keep going as they are...
Watch and See...
I kiss the ground of Georgia every day, and relish the day I left your hellhole of a communist tyrannical state.
May New York perish.
While he’s at it Gov. Cuomo can tell the feds to keep illegal drugs out of New York too.
Both have an equal chance of being successful...
What an idiot.
I'll second that. All in favor?
I guess Gov. Homo doesn’t remember that there are several firearms manufacturers in New York state. Can you Say Remington? Then again, maybe they will move out quicker with these kinds of comments.
New York voters deserve him. They elected him
“May New York perish. “
NO, may the liberal trash there perish. There are a lot of good people in New York who have to suffer with this turd.
Should we start with Cuomo’s security detail?
Interesting - Cuomo demanding “states rights?”
Aye
I second!
So Cuomo doesn’t care about borders between the US and other countries, but wants to enact borders between NY State and other states. Imagine if every state wants to do that! Each state would essentially become its own country. Which of course would mean that each state might want to take over those borders, and THEY might want then to keep illegal immigrants out of their state. Thank you Cuomo for that idea!
If guns could vote ‘Democrat’, Cuomo would look the other way!
He should be much more concerned about New Yorkers leaving New York.
This is really an admission of failure of his term as guv in that crime has increased.
Losing New York, or loosing California.
Which would be better for the US?
I’m leaning California.
seconded
Whenever I went into New York while living in PA, I used to think New York was totally nuts....now of course, we have no reason to doubt any of it...
Between the Mayor DeBlasio and Homo, it’s been certified...THEY ARE 100% NUTS!!!
