New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for gun violence on Tuesday, marking the first of its kind ever enacted in the United States, the governor’s office said.
According to Cuomo’s office, the emergency declaration requires the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services to “gather and share incident-level data” from local law enforcement on gun violence and invests almost $140 million in intervention, prevention and jobs programs.
The order also establishes the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to “coordinate efforts and direct resources to emerging gun violence hot spots” and creates a new state police gun trafficking unit to stem the flow of illegal firearms into New York.
“This new strategy treats gun violence as a public health crisis, using short-term solutions to manage the immediate gun violence crisis and reduce the shooting rate, as well as long-term solutions that focus on community-based intervention and prevention strategies to break the cycle of violence,” Gov. Cuomo’s office said in a statement. “The disaster emergency allows the State to expedite money and resources to communities so they can begin targeting gun violence immediately.”
Damon Runyon Theater is some very good entertainment.
The requirement is for all guns to be fully masked and sent to nursing homes.
So will he be sending guns into nursing homes, or gun-toting gangbangers?
In an emergency situation to save the State of New York, the governor must be swept aside.
He has ended the law and thus when there is no law, he has no personal protection. Having tyrannically ended the law, the governor is quite vulnerable
They stop prosecuting criminals, eliminate bail, and then they wonder why NY is experiencing and expolsion of crimes.
Maybe because you are White, guns are racist you know.
“”In New York? What kinda racist bigot are you, anyway?””
The worst kind, I suspect... Born and raised in that state (far from NYC) and today certainly no resemblance to the ‘40’s or ‘50’s - left there many years ago.
The laws in the state of New York have already done that, and quite thoroughly. This is just windiw dressing.

My cannons have never been used.
But, lately, I feel as if I’m running out of patience!
“Stay tuned!”
“The worst kind, I suspect...”
Oh, I can assure you it’s at least that bad. We who will not bend the knee to Critical Race Theory... why, we’re all just The Worst! Democrat-defined, of course, so take it with a King Kong-sized pinch of salt.
I’ve heard they’re even dividing the black community with it; that MANY self-respecting Americans who are black will not accept the yoke of this new slavery, and — well, you’d never believe it, but I’m learning that the race industry has exhumed Uncle Tom to use against them.
Can you imagine?
Why, of course you can; as a Student of EIB you’ve known Democrats backward, forward, inside-out, and upside-down for years, now. Why am I preaching to the choir?
This is getting to be such a large club I’m coming to expect a regular Champagne Brunch on Sundays. We’re going to need our own Newsletter soon.
Excellent writing - here and on your profile page..
Let us allow the criminals to run free, while we restrict law abiding citizens from defending themselves and their families.
Thank you for the kind compliment; as punditry can become tiresome, I attempt to animate mine with more entertaining shades c of levity, jocular wit, fun characterizations...anything that seems to fit “the moment” and elicit more interest.
