During his State of the State address on Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo made an impassioned plea to the Legislature to ignore pressure from the gun lobby and end the madness of gun violence. He sought the toughest gun laws in the nation.

He admitted he’s a gun owner himself and said he doesn’t want to stop hunters and others from owning weapons, but Cuomo tried to shame the Legislature into action with a passionate speech on gun violence, CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer reported.

“I say to you forget the extremists. It’s simple — no one hunts with an assault rifle. No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer and too many people have died already,” Cuomo said.

His tirade made me sick; couldn’t listen.

It seemed that the crowd was going to shout “zeik heil!” at any moment.

Absoluteley disgusting and amazing.

This would be one case where putting every single word of his screed in CAPS would be the best means of conveying his delivery.

If they ban large capacity magazines then switch to belt-fed as they’re less likely to jam anyway.

I don’t need your worthless opinion, Andrew.

I don’t need to obey your illegal dictates, Andrew.

I don’t need government any longer, Andrew.

No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer

Down from ten, huh? What's the proposal: 5? When New York State is done, each magazine will be limited to ONE round.

“I say to you forget the extremists. It’s simple — no one hunts with an assault rifle. No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer and too many people have died already,” Cuomo said.

It’s not an “assault rifle”, lots of folks do hunt with them, and hunting is irrelevent anyway. Other than that...

Anybody ever inform the dipshit that arms represent the freedom from tyranny. I don’t recall a damn deer of being tyrannical.

He is trying hard not to let this crisis go to waste!

AR-15 home defense is not about killing deer, Cuomo...it's about stopping bad guys.
