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.”
and jobs programs...?
Crips and Bloods housed in the same facility. Just add closed circuit TV and get the popcorn ready.
The white ones, of course..!
My Uberti is undecided since he’s just a Colt knockoff
Not really… They’re mostly black guns targeting black people. But toss a white gun seller into the mix and there’s where the racism card gets played
In a statement issued Tuesday, Gov. Cuomo said his office would tackle “systemic injustices” related to gun violence in New York “just like we did with COVID.”
So he is going to put Gun owners into Covid infested nursing homes?
Well, I suppose if they can require you to wear a mask when you leave your home, they can require you to wear a gun, too. Just don’t wear those fake guns made in China.
A golden gun might get a pass altogether.
Glad we got out of that hell hole when we did.
breaking the cycle of violence is simple, unless one is stupid. Put the bad guys in jail for a very long time.
To make difference they’ll have to arrest a hell of a lot of black males and keep them incarcerated, and they won’t do that.
From the article:
The first “hot spots” identified include 4,090 young men aged 18-24 in New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Long Island./i
And we all know that the vast majority are Amish yutes.
I agree with you, arresting these thugs will never happen.
As already stated by many here; Cuomo has declared a "public health crisis".
Does that mean he'll go after lawful gun owners ?
great accents... good stuff
At some point, they’re not even going to pretend we’re a representative republic anymore. That point is approaching quickly.
first they rammed through the unconstitutional ‘safe act’ in the middle of the night while noone but them were looking, declaring an “Imminent Need” as their justification for violating the constitution, now they have created high crime rates by coddling criminals to the nth degree, and as a result declare ‘State Emergency”
Unbelievable!
they already did it with their asinine safe act, which has done nothing to curb violence in NY as we can see by the supposed ‘emergency situation’ that he is illegally declaring once again, and the State SC upheld it even though it’s not constitutional- They are above the law-
The only thing the safe act did was make law abiding citizens more vulnerable-
it aint just theater- they are violating the people’s right to adequate self defense
so a suggestion to NYer’s might be ‘IF the state only goes after law abiding citizen’s guns, while coddling and ignoring criminals with guns, then the law abiding citizens can become criminals and steal guns, and that will be perfectly ok according to the left
Yes. The people who aren't the problem. It would be "racist" to confront the problem.
No! Of course not!
Mental health exams for candidates?
In New York?
What kinda racist bigot are you, anyway?
