What?
No "federal control is the highest authority?"
Why, that just reeks of states rights.
The communist agenda "progressive and liberal" superior intellectuals will not be pleased...
“Constitution? We don’t need no steenkin’ Constitution!”
As I’ve said on other threads, this is the left presenting an extreme position to shock the citizenry so that when they propose their real legislation, we all breathe a collective sigh of relief that they are only banning most of the guns, not all.
We must return their attack with an overwhelming counter-attack.
The infringement of the 2nd Amendment protection on gun ownership (put in place with over 700 gun-restricting laws), HAS FAILED. Obammie the Commie wants to continue the SAME FAILED GUN POLICIES OF THE PAST 40 YEARS.
GUN PROHIBITION DOES NOT WORK.
I wonder if Cuomo knows so-called assault rifles are banned in NY.
Will he start by confiscating the weapons of his own body guards?
Hmmm......
Mandatory sales to the gubmint ?????
Sheah! When monkeys fly out of my ass.
Like hell it is!
Start by confiscating the guns from his personal protection team.
Does he think that the people will just take this lying down?
The inability to get anything done on the ‘fiscal cliff’ give hope that they won’t get anything done on the ‘assault weapons’ ban.
Molon labe.

If Cuomo makes an attempt to violate the fundamental, God-given constitutional rights of 47% of his state’s citizens, I will not be cheering for those state employees who are immoral enough to follow such orders. When things turn ugly, my sympathies will be entirely with those fighting for freedom. It has been 147 years and 226 days since the end of our first civil war. I hope Cuomo is in no hurry to trigger a second one.
Don’t let that little ole Bill of Rights get in the way.
No quicker way to start a civil war.
“[Assault weapons’] menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi- automatic assault weapons —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.” Josh Sugarmann, executive director of New Right Watch, spokesman for the National Coalition to Ban Handguns, “Assault Weapons and Accessories in America,” policy report of New Right Watch and the Education Fund to End Handgun Violence, September 1988
“Our main agenda is to have all guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It does not matter if you have to distort facts or even lie.”
-Sarah Brady, Handgun Control, Inc., The National Educator, January, 1994
“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out right ban, picking up every one of them... ‘Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in,’ I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here.”-Dianne Feinstein, Senator, CBS-TV’s “60 Minutes,” February 5, 1995
“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizen to bear arms is just one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” - Hubert Humphrey(bitter clinger), 1960
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.”- William Pitt, 1783
“Gun bans don’t disarm criminals, gun bans attract them.”- Walter Mondale, U.S. Ambassador to Japan(bitter clinger), April 20, 1994
They mean confiscation from the hands of honest, law-abiding people, not criminals. They have no intention of taking guns from criminals.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (Communist-N.Y.)
Fixed it.
Confiscation = me moving out of state
