Sheldon Silver is your typical soft on crime liberal. He'd much more prefer making criminals out of law abiding citizens rather than punish actual felons. Such is his twisted worldview.

in the first degree when they possess 10 or more firearms
(legally or not)

We need to sell New York to the first sucker who comes along with $24.00! Just tell them they have 24 hours to move it!
Two police officers were recently killed in NYC. Silver is working with Bloomberg on this one. Maybe just grandstanding for political reasons, but who knows.

...and to the indestructable brother whose UserID escapes me
your neck of the woods ping.
What a disaster.
"The Senate and governor continue to protect loopholes that allow gun traffickers to evade detection and contribute to the illegal gun market in this state where criminals can obtain devastating weapons that threaten our safety"
Leftists to spy on US citizens without court order!
