NY Gov. Cuomo issues gun crackdown through ‘first-ever state of emergency for gun violence’

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.”

“Do they really think the criminals will will stop breaking the law?”

No of course not. The issue is not the issue. The revolution is the issue.

Crime is necessary to justify confiscation of firearms that could be turned against the usurpers.

“Well, if they start going door to door, we’ll see what happens.”

Probably same thing as Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina - they’ll round up the guns.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for gun violence . . .

I definitely agree. "COO-mo" [per Jesse Jackson] and his staff and security team should start by foregoing the use or carrying of firearms as an example for the citizens of the state--and especially for those who have been committing "gun violence."

That works, right?

Anything goes if you are trying to steal taxpayer money.

You see the referenced to hiring and of course some crony of the gov will head it all up at a huge salary...and lifetime benefits.

“”reduce the shooting rate,””

Guess all other means that violent criminals use aren’t worth considering; just THINGS that SHOOT! These people are geniuses...Can’t we demand mental health exams for anyone considering/running for political office?

"... marking the first of its kind ever enacted in the United States, the governor’s office said."

The above language sounds like something Trump would say, alleged election-stealing Democrats now probably trying to steal some of Trump's thunder.

Surely Gov. Cuomo has also applied for federal assistance under the Constitution's Article IV, Section 4 to help suppress domestic violence. /sarc

”Article 4, Section: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphasis added].”

On the other hand, Congress needs to be vigilant with respect to Cuomo possibly using his state of emergency as a politically correct excuse to attack 2nd Amendment-protected rights, such action prohibited by the 14th Amendment (14A).

Or is the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, Democratic-controlled Congress predictably going to munch popcorn while watching CNN show Cuomo taking away citizens' guns?

A part of the remedy for dealing with very corrupt federal and state governments...

Patriots need to primary candidates for Congress who don't clearly promise to use their 14A power to investigate people like Cuomo and get him out of power if necessary.

It is about time we cracked down on those artificially intelligent guns that are slaughtering humans in the street.

These guns are vicious racists, targeting black people!

"He is PLAYING OFFENSE. The Dems are great at it, but our side only does it in very rare cases."

You nailed it. The Marxist Dems are on the offense all the time and have very strong party discipline. The Republicans rarely stick together and can't sustain the effort long. They have weak party discipline when they have any. Example, Liz Cheney has joined Pelosi's kangaroo Jan 6 special committee. She should have been stripped of all committee assignments and perks and booted out of the GOP caucus. She wasn't.

So, they stop locking up criminals, disband the Anti Crime squad, do away with bail and then they declare a state of emergency? Pure lying evil.

“Example, Liz Cheney has joined Pelosi’s kangaroo Jan 6 special committee. She should have been stripped of all committee assignments and perks and booted out of the GOP caucus. She wasn’t.”

I don’t think Frank Luntz gave McCarthy permission to punish her, as that would have made her a martyr and drawn attention to her...as if they’re not going to put her front and center anyway.
