Calling the latest school shooting in southwest Oregon a “terrible, heartbreaking” tragedy, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is once again pushing the federal government to enact stricter gun control laws.
“The shooting earlier today at Umpqua Community College is the latest in a series of terrible, heartbreaking tragedies resulting from gun violence. … No one should suffer the pain of losing someone they love to gun violence, although it happens all too often,” Cuomo said in a statement, offering his condolences to the families of the reported 13 killed and 20 injured after a gunman opened fire at a community college earlier Thursday. …

How about training people how to react to these terrorists when confronted.
Instead of just standing there and getting shot, perhaps rushing the shooter, such as those guys on the French train did, would be a skill that would save lives?
Anyone notice how 'liberals' recoiled with disgust when they heard the Pope had met with a woman who's biggest sin was believing marriage was between one man and one woman...
The left has blood on their hands. Their hatred of traditional Americans has fed into this horror.
Using a horrible incident for political gain.
Oregon already has strict guns laws. How’s that working...
After his eventual death, should anyone do an autopsy on Cuomo and open his skull, an avalanche of malodorous brown sludge-like material will pour out. That will answer many questions long deferred.
Has Cuomo tried to buy a gun lately? I ain't easy..............
Are we going to hear, “Nobody needs ten bullets to kill a deer...” again.
Uphold the mental health laws and most of this nonsense will go away.
Please, Andrew. Just crawl back under the rock you came out from under. You are to blame for these shootings. Your ridiculous anti-gun laws and gun free zones are the reason these shootings are so successful. The bad guys don’t want to meet someone who can shoot back. And you provide a safe killing zone for them to work in.
They never ever talk about armed guards in the school. Even an extra cop on the local force to have duty there each day, how damn hard would that be? Take some of the cash from common core and do it.
Andrew Cuomo is a major criminal. Several hundred millions went missing from HUD when he was in charge. He would love to make all the people powerless to stop him.
Can hardly take the ignorance anymore. ( heartbreaking tragedies resulting from gun violence)
Is journalism dead? There is no such thing as “gun violence” Guns are inanimate object not capable of any action at all. It is violence committed WITH a gun by a human being. The violent intent being that of the human being...........
It's like the old children's tale, "Who will bell the cat." No one wants to go first, because it's the first one that gets shot.
Yep- let’s not ban Nazis or skinheads or whatever sick twisted group the shooter belonged to- let’s just go after his victims by making them and their families even more vulnerable by taking away their RIGHT to defend themselves against sick twisted individuals (who ironically enough mostly appear to be liberals)
He will very likely declare another state of emergency and rule via executive order In the coming weeks to ban even more guns in NY- Where are all the people who stood up and loudly proclaimed He would not take their guns away? He DID take their guns away and these people did NOTHING but surrender their guns and clips
I think even gun lovers would like to do this as well, the question is, how?
A couple weeks ago, a guy disemboweled his gf with a sword. A few days ago a kid strangled and stabbed him mama to death with a knife. If someone wants to kill, they will find the means to do it.
Last I’d heard, the compliance rate was pretty low and remains so.
