New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has declared a state of emergency in his state due to the recent uptick in gun violence.

“Today I am issuing an Executive Order declaring a Disaster Emergency on gun violence. Gun violence is a public health crisis, and we must treat it like one,” Cuomo wrote in a tweet on Tuesday. “This declaration will allow us to give this crisis the full attention & resources it deserves.”

A state of emergency on nursing homes would have been better.

Is this absolute asshat kidding me? Let’s see: They got rid of bail, they defunded the cops by 1.4 BILLION dollars, they got rid of stop and frisk in heavy gang areas, they won’t let cops do their jobs. I don’t know, what ever could the problem?

Is this him specifically at violent neighborhoods, or just a political ploy to impose on the entire state?

A pretense for which to curtail civil liberties.

Count on it.

Madame Hoot-Owl, aka Lightfoot, should be doing the same thing in Chicago, but she won’t, at least not now.

So they defund police, have numerous sanctuary cities, let criminals out of jail and don’t prosecute certain crimes. Geeee, guess what happens.

THIS ^
This jackass should already be decked out in prison orange, locked up in a cell and facing a death penalty sentence for mass murder and crimes against humanity.
He and his filthy commie ilk ARE “the problem”.

"Cuomo shared the new plans Monday, which include police departments across the state providing data on where shootings take place, cracking down on where illegal guns are sold, and keeping guns out of the hands of those considered dangerous."

Does this mean that the cops do not already keep records?

Last I looked unregistered handguns were illegal in NYS... so places were unregistered guns are sold should already be closed down by cops.. Obviously the current laws aren't working what makes him think his "new" plan will??

It’s unbelievable isn’t it. I said last year Cuomos mass murder will be brushed under the rug and people were telling me no way. Well here are in July 2021 and the media and politicians on both sides act like it never even happened.

The play book is used over and over. Create a crisis, then trample people’s rights and rake in money doing it.

“keeping guns out of the hands of those considered dangerous.”

Oh goody. They are going to disarm gang bangers, career criminals and illegals that possess firearms .. oh wait, I’ve warped into the wrong universe again.

Yes, more regulation is needed...

Purchase of firearms in NYS: No NYS permit is required for long guns. Handguns require a permit. Permits are issued by County or State Supreme Court judges/justices outside of New York City, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, with a background check. Permits for those wanting to carry concealed are issued on a "may issue" basis, whereas permits to merely purchase and possess handguns in the home are issued on a "shall issue" basis. There is an application fee for each permit, as well as an amendment fee for each handgun added to the permit. NOTE: Different laws apply for NYC

Firearm registration: No registration for long guns. All handguns must be registered under a license. There is a $3 registration fee. Handguns are registered with purchase permit. The serial number and sale is noted down. It is illegal to possess any un-registered firearm. Antique weapons are exempted from this. All handguns must travel in the manner one's license is issued. No record is needed of previously owned handguns with law enforcement. *All rifles classified as assault weapons must be registered with the state by January 15, 2014. NOTE: Different laws apply for NYC

Owner license: No license is required for long guns; however, New York State requires a license for handgun ownership. Handgun licenses are normally restricted to three types: residence or business premises permit (must issue generally), Target & Hunting, and Unrestricted Carry. Target and hunting allows carry while engaged in those activities. Unrestricted allows carry at any time. All permits issued outside of New York City are not valid in New York City EXCEPT for retired police and federal law enforcement officers with that status marked on their permit and for armored car guards on duty. The minimum age to be issued a handgun license is 21 unless one is a former or current member of the armed forces or law enforcement. NOTE: Different laws apply for NYC

And probably saved more lives.
