Cuomo on Sunday defended the parts of the NY Safe Act that remove guns from people deemed mentally unstable, saying the number might be too low.

That came after Sunday's New York Times story about the 34,500 people who have been judged too unstable to possess guns since Cuomo signed the gun laws into effect in early 2013.

This is the same Cuomo, of course, said that conservatives were not welcome in his state. How long until he declares conservatism a mental disorder and removes guns from everyone?

New York elected him; New York can have him.

I think he suffers from visions of grandeur

“...the 34,500 people who have been judged too unstable to possess guns since Cuomo signed the gun laws into effect in early 2013.”

34,499 of them are Republicans, Correct? ;)

Must be nice to be one of the beautiful people who have armed guards. I’ll submit that Cuomo and his armed guards can even enter “gun-free zones” without worrying about being arrested.

Fascist Pigs.

All it takes is for a spouse to claim physical violence against them.

I’ve thought for a long time that this will be one of the back door ways they confiscate guns from “mental defectives” who don’t think like they do.

That’s a mere .22% of the state’s population age 18 and over. Given the fact that Andy’s father closed the mental institutions and forced many mentally unstable and deranged people into our communities, the 34,500 number may very well be low.

And the rest of New York State would like to split the state in two and have the Western New York part be a red state.

If they are too unstable to own guns, ban them from driving a car as well. Plenty of psychos deliberately mow down crowds and pedestrians as well.

THEN the outrage will really begin.

How many Democrats are there in NY? That’s the number of mentally deranged people there are.

Cuomo may be right when you use the DemocRAT voter registration rolls and the number of foreigners in New Yawk to count the number of unstable people there.

It’s too low until Cuomo is on the list.

NYers also better not forget that Cuomo brought up the confiscation word soon after the (un)SAFE Act was passed.

Speaking of Cuomo, here’s part of an email I received from “Team Cuomo.” Don’t know how they got my name, but here goes:

“..The New York State Democratic Committee just sent out an email and we wanted to make sure you saw it. Last week Hillary Clinton endorsed Governor Cuomo for re-election and talked about how critical the Women’s Equality Agenda was to New York. (snip)

Team Cuomo

(snip)

Every so often, an issue comes along that defines us—who we are and who we want to be. Women’s equality is that issue. It is the issue of this election.

Governor Cuomo has said it. Kathy Hochul has said it. And this week, one of the greatest champions for women added her voice to the growing chorus of support.

You may have heard of her: former Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Here, watch as Secretary Clinton declares that the Women’s Equality Agenda is the issue of this election. ..”

In the debate w/Astorino, Cuomo claimed he just wanted to “codify” the abortion law, whatever that means. This email proves he wants more than that, because the Women’s Equality agtenda includes allowing NONdoctors to perform abortions.
