Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Thursday that he had started discussions with leaders of the State Legislature about new gun control measures, and that he planned to propose a package of gun legislation in his State of the State address on Jan. 9.
Theres a big difference of opinion on these issues, Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, said in an interview on an Albany radio station.
The New York Assembly, controlled by Democrats, has voted for a number of proposed gun control measures in recent years, only to have the legislation falter in the Senate, which has been controlled by Republicans. (Starting next month, the Senate is to be led by a coalition of Republicans and a breakaway faction of Democrats.)
In the interview, Mr. Cuomo did not offer specifics about the measures he might propose, but, while discussing assault weapons, he said: Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option keep your gun but permit it.

I suppose civil war is also an option...

LOL! That’s been my tag line since the election.
Pilot project in gun-unfriendly NJ?
Would not want to be a NJ National Guardsman at this time. Might be very hazardous duty.
Evidently not.
Come and get them.
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So lets not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country.

The measures adopted to restore public order are: First of all, the elimination of the so-called subversive elements.
They were elements of disorder and subversion. On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results.

All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.

Or how old we are and that we, unlike liberals have learned from history.

I believe one of obama’s automotive CZARs likes to use that quote, or at least part of it in public, I can’t remember who, I think RATtner?
Remember all those rounds of ammo the feds just
Purchased and those FEMA combat vehicles seen throughout the country?.
They will demonise thru the prestitutes and shills
then attack pockets of areas to Persuade the rest to capitulate.
It is my opinion this is the plan Zero et al wanted to
Enact by running guns in fast and furious but some
Dedicated American patriots blew the whistle on that.
Glad you let me know....I was thinking of using, as it becomes truer and truer each day....unfortunately (but I won't steal from you)!
“First they will go after the gun shops.”
Here in Connecticut, they already are:

I read somewhere else that the feds are visiting ALL the gunshops where Nancy Lanza had purchased her weapons....
PSA’s telling kids how dangerous to your health they are etc.
To quote the late Charlton Heston, you can have my guns when you pry them out of my cold, dead hands. Don’t come knockin’ on my door because you won’t like my greeting.
Dittos to that ‘Rush!! Another OT here and God only knows how long left to go now. If the results of a ‘Bring it’ scenario means ending up as my check out time....I’m 100% fine with that. Weapons? No boating accidents and I have one heck of a LOT of ‘em on hand, hunting, varmint, (My favorites), target, trap, plinkin’, collectibles etc. accrued over the long years. (Finally getting into buying a few of those AR style jobs the last 3 years), and there is no way in heck any of ‘em are going anywhere that I do not want them going. They will be handed down to family, not handed in to the Gov.
It’s the consequences that matter, not the options.
I’m interested in what Scalia thinks about all this — not to say his thoughts represent the final view.
I know quite a few women who could certainly deliver on that promise.
It is an attitude thing as much as a tough thing.
Never underestimate a country girl. You will loose.
