Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on the federal government to protect New York’s borders by enacting a gun control law that will keep weapons from entering the state.
ALBANY — Rather than trying to protect the country’s borders to keep Mexicans out, Gov. Cuomo on Monday called on the federal government to protect the state’s 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 radio’s “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.

Just write some more laws. They’d be obeyed right? Right? ??
Secondly, why do those states that have restrictive gun laws have more crime? Mind boggling isn’t it?
I don’t think Ilion, NY is exactly Cuomo country. Most of NYS isn’t Cuomo country.

They could try road blocks o I 95 and stop and search. That would work.
Cuomo will resign or be in cuffs before his term ends.
After we leave the state , please, Laz.
I vote both.
as a resident - your lips to Gods ears...it was pure entertainment when the last one resigned
Aye!
Laws work so well to prevent drugs from coming in.
The Lawless do not obey Laws.
Dumber than a rock.
You mean the "Safe" Act hasn't made New York City "safer?" That's probably due to the reality that the only people who know they are safer in New York City are New York City criminals. The Law of Unintended, But Highly Predictable, Consequences.
All the Cuomos really suck.
This Chris Cuomo was putting words in Trump’s mouth and Trump gave it right back to him.
Anyway, we have gunshow this coming weekend in Poughkeepsie. We are expecting there will be protesters.
What fun!
Aye
Cuomo calls on the federal government to keep weapons out of New York by building a 40 ft high wall with armed guards and dogs along Vermont, Mass, NJ, CT, Pennsylvania and Canada border.
“May New York perish”
You may well get your wish, Mr. Laz, you may well get it.
ACK! Don’t let it perish until I can escape!
Regards,
Just pass another law. And another and another and another.
Keep passing laws until you find the ONE TRUE LAW that criminals will obey!
