New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) blamed an “illegal gun” in the fatal shooting of NYPD officer Jason Rivera on Friday night.

Rivera, 22, was shot and killed and a second officer, Wilbert More, 27, was shot and wounded, Breitbart News reported.

The shooting suspect, Lashawn McNeil, 47, opened fire on Rivera and More as they approached him in a long hallway, CBS New York noted. McNeill was then shot twice by a third officer.

On Saturday, Hochul tweeted, “Last night, a shot from an illegal gun took the life of a NYPD officer.”

Does arec barwin have an alibi? He's been known to NOT pull the trigger. RIP to the LEOs.

[Flick Lives]

Hochul is as dumb as Cuomo was perverted.

[1Old Pro]

Hochul is so woke she’s asleep at the switch. So it’s not the criminals fault, it’s once again the guns fault. this is tiring.

[Jeff Chandler]

Democrats never let a murder go to waste.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Outlawing guns will work as well as outlawing drugs.

[whatexit]

So if the gun was obtained legally, there’d be no problem. Alrighty, Gov’!

[Sacajaweau]

Bad Gun...Bad gun....watcha gonna do...

[Jewbacca]

And a fork made Rosy Oddonnel fat.

[P-Marlowe]

Didn’t Giuliani solve that problem with Stop and Frisk?

[shadowlands1960]

All those murderous guns out there conspiring against us....

“Last night, a shot from an illegal gun took the life of a NYPD officer.”

But you can easily see why she didn’t say, ““Last night, a shot from Lashawn took the life of a NYPD officer.” Sends the ‘wrong’ message.

All guns are legal; it’s the use by illegals that’s illegal.

[LibertyWoman]

She's right. The gun was no doubt illegal because these cretins that are terrorizing NY and Chicago and other major cities can not obtain firearms in any other way. I've always said that the gun origins need to be investigated.

A couple of months ago, a town about 50 miles from mine, in rural East Central Missouri, an old crusty s.o.b. was busted for running guns. The old f*cker was doing the purchasing and as it turns out, was getting them into Chicago for the animals there. I hope the bastard is put away for the rest of his rotten life. ILLEGALLY obtained guns are the problem.

[T.B. Yoits]

Hochul The Fool blames the gun to keep people from questioning why the killer was out on probation AND BREAKING EXISTING LAWS.

[Seruzawa]

Lol. These idiots just double down on stupid.

[Paperpusher]

But it was an innocent gun, forced into a life of crime.

[I want the USA back]

As always, dems refuse to make America’s #1 certified victim group take responsibility for its actions.

[Deo volente]

What she’s really saying: “That bad gun broke the law and decided to shoot that officer.”

Check the governor’s IQ please. I’m guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 60?

[Osage Orange]

WHAT?

PEOPLE are the PROBLEM.

A gun legal or not can be a problem...if the PERSON with the gun doesn't know how to operate it...or does and wants to kill someone with it.

You wrote this.... "ILLEGALLY obtained guns are the problem."

Total B S....People are the PROBLEM!

Or outlawing booze.
