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 hes a gun owner himself and said he doesnt 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 2s Marcia Kramer reported.
I say to you forget the extremists. Its 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.

“No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer “
I’d never waste a bullet on a deer: bullets are for tyrants.

Your leaders, lords and ladies, and the new royalty are entitled to be armed and to have armed security. As for you peasants, you are not allowed to protect yourselves, and will have to trust your lords to protect you. You will just have to accept any tyranny that comes your way.

I heard his rant. He is a truly evil human being. He is an enemy of our Constitution and he is an enemy of Liberty.
This dangerous man has designs on the White House.

Aeons ago, I used to listen to Radio Havana Cuba on short wave ... Cuomo sounds like Castro.

"Smart" guy Cuomo thinks IIA is about guns for hunters. What a flocking idiot.
On the contrary, he is not a "flocking idiot" but a cunning would-be tyrant along with those who use the hunting perception to redefine the 2nd Amendment. The fools are those that buy the tyrant's words and meanings and remain ignorant about the reason for the Bill of Rights.

"Gov. Cuomo Thunders"
Is that rhetoric devised to make him appear to be straight, like a man from another state?

I'm considering limiting my everyday personal protection to only that which is used by Cuomo. Can somebody provide some guidance on this? I wouldn't want to seem extreme.
If his protection force has limited itself to six-shooters, it should be good enough for any of us.
To: SMGFan
He admitted hes a gun owner himself and said he doesnt want to stop hunters and others from owning weapons...Well there you go - if you are going to let hunters have weapons, then it's only fair to let ALL the People have weapons. Anything less would be discrimination...Of course, if one believes in the 2nd Amendment (which, as Rush pointed out, is clarified in intent by the the oft-forgotten 3rd Amendment), then all this silliness is moot.

Andrew rides liberalism’s self esteem horse. He thinks way too highly of his “progressive” self.
