We’re impressed by the way New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo moved to get a handle on gun violence this week after 51 people were wounded or killed across his state during the long Fourth of July weekend.
Frankly, it’s the kind of “the buck stops here” leadership on the gun violence issue that’s needed in Chicago.
Cuomo issued an executive order on Tuesday that declared the gun violence a “disaster emergency” and a public health crisis. That allows him to immediately muster the power and personnel of at least a dozen major New York state agencies and direct it toward solving the issue.
By taking up the issue of violence and essentially putting it on his back, Cuomo is taking full and public responsibility for solving the problem.
Meanwhile Chicagoans have been treated largely to a complicated and frustrating game of finger-pointing in which Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Police Supt. David Brown keep alleging, with next to no real proof, that the city’s violent crime is caused by bail reform and lenient courts and prosecutors granting bond to offenders who immediately return to the streets to commit more mayhem.

I’m not impressed by any thing cuuuuomo does. He isn’t going to solve “gun violence.” He will make life miserable for honest, law-abiding, non-violent citizens and make life easy for hardened violent criminals.
There are huge numbers of guns in the inner city. They are bought and sold without regard to background checks by criminals who are not legal gun dealers. cuuuuomo is afraid to go into the inner city to seize illegal guns because of WHO has the guns, and because they will resist violently. So cuuuuomo and the others go after legal guns in the hands of non-violent citizens who are not members of that specially-protected minority.
Te Cuomo Plan, same as Chicago
Let the crisis get so bad that the 2nd amendment is abandoned by the People and the federal goivernment uses emergency power to take over all Police Departments in Illinois and New York State.
Great Plan.
By radical socilaists.
but there is a problem.
At some point the excess violence by defunding police to make the gun crime worse may result in the assassination of the political class that assumes itself invulnerable.
Haiti gives the lie to that supposition. The scions of the lefty Dems in Haiti was assassinated.
These Dem governators like Cuomo, and theior mayors, want to watch their backs with all those trigger happy Guatamalans streaming over our SOuthern borders.
I have an idea for Lightfoot and Cuomo, an important first step to making a significant improvement. Resign immediately. Acknowledging your total failure is not necessary, trust me, it’s quite clear already.
Hey, Fredo, you stand at the head of the NYS police. NYC is a n NYS…Sho DeBlasio how it’s done…
