New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is calling for the State Legislature to reenact the strict gun control laws that the US Supreme Court explicitly struck down last week. She rejected contentions that she needed any evidence to support her demands that law-abiding citizens must be prevented from defending themselves with firearms, saying “I’m the Governor. I don’t have to prove anything to anybody. The peace on our state’s streets has been preserved in a delicate balance of terror between an armed criminal element and the police. The Supreme Court’s interjection of a mythical Second Amendment right for individuals to protect themselves disrupts that balance. Such a right is not recognized in our state and will not be enforced by any police force that I command.”
“For more than 100 years, every law-abiding New Yorker has known that it is his obligation to yield when confronted by an armed criminal or police officer,” the Governor observed. “The seeming injustice of remaining defenseless and at the mercy of an armed assailant has to be balanced against the absence of gun battles that could prove much worse if innocent parties are also armed. I owe it to the people of this state to preserve an environment to which they are accustomed. Those who may be tempted to assert a right of self defense are warned that they do so at their own risk. Any armed interaction that they survive will be followed by a prosecution for violating state laws against possessing weapons on their person.”
Meanwhile in California, Attorney General Rob Bonta has devised what he calls a “catch-22 metric for determining who should be allowed to carry a firearm for personal defense. Basically, we feel that any person who expresses a desire to be armed is not someone who can be trusted with such a weapon. Only people who do not express a desire to be armed can be trusted. This greatly simplifies our state’s gun policy under the new Supreme Court’s decision. Those who request a concealed carry permit will be denied as ‘untrustworthy.’ Those who don’t request a concealed carry permit will be considered ‘trustworthy,’ but will not be issued a permit they do not request.”
