Full Title Governor Cuomo’s Selective Anti-Gun Fervor: And This Is Why So Many Americans Have No Respect for Laws Or Lawmakers New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been the source of some of the most excessive anti-gun rants making up the sorry legacy of the Post Sandy Hook Ethics Train Wreck. It was a year ago that a unveiled a package of strict gun restrictions, saying that with “the senseless massacre in Newtown, Connecticut… New York must say enough is enough to gun violence.” Oh, Gov. Cuomo hates guns, believe you me. So what do you think happened when it...

I dropped by my local butcher’s shop the other day in search of something good for dinner, but the door was locked, the lights were out and there was a sign in the window: “Gone moose hunting. Sorry for the inconvenience.” Not nearly as sorry as I was, but I should have guessed. It’s that time of year again in rural Ontario — hunting season.

Coincidentally, Statistics...

Gun limits would make rampage less likely Thursday, April 19, 2007 3:34 AM Stricter gun control is needed.

There is no need to own a gun to defend oneself that way anymore. The gun is designed to kill. The...

Not since Teddy Roosevelt took on Tammany Hall a century ago has a New York politician closely linked to urban reform looked like presidential timber. But today ex–New York mayor Rudy Giuliani sits at or near the top of virtually every poll of potential 2008 presidential candidates. Already, Giuliani’s popularity has set off a “stop Rudy” movement among cultural conservatives, who object to his three marriages and his support for abortion rights, gay unions, and curbs on gun ownership. Some social conservatives even dismiss his achievement in reviving New York before 9/11. An August story on the website Right Wing...
