NY Gov. Cuomo issues gun crackdown through ‘first-ever state of emergency for gun violence’

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for gun violence on Tuesday, marking the first of its kind ever enacted in the United States, the governor’s office said.

According to Cuomo’s office, the emergency declaration requires the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services to “gather and share incident-level data” from local law enforcement on gun violence and invests almost $140 million in intervention, prevention and jobs programs.

The order also establishes the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to “coordinate efforts and direct resources to emerging gun violence hot spots” and creates a new state police gun trafficking unit to stem the flow of illegal firearms into New York.

“This new strategy treats gun violence as a public health crisis, using short-term solutions to manage the immediate gun violence crisis and reduce the shooting rate, as well as long-term solutions that focus on community-based intervention and prevention strategies to break the cycle of violence,” Gov. Cuomo’s office said in a statement. “The disaster emergency allows the State to expedite money and resources to communities so they can begin targeting gun violence immediately.”

...and invests almost $140 million in intervention, prevention and jobs programs.

I read that as $140M in kickbacks and payoffs to Cuomo's cronies who will "administer" the midnight basketball games. As for reducing violence in NYC it will accomplish precisely...dick.

Right now cuomo is the greatest threat to New Yorkers’ safety (very lives!) and liberties since at least the Arab mass murder attackers of 9/11. He needs to be removed from public office and dealt with by the law - immediately.

Let CRIMINALS run rampant then crack down on law abiding citizens. Was all part of the plan.

Meaning taking guns from legal gun owners because that’s where gangs get their guns from.

It’s to take guns from the non-violent citizens while leaving them in the hands of the violent criminals.

New York Governor ‘Nursing Home Killer’ (NHK) must be worried about something going public with his name on it, so he’s pretending Democrat-promoted violence is caused by guns.

The mass murderer declares a state of emergency for gun violence. How absurd can you get?

Well, if they start going door to door, we’ll see what happens.

Let's see. New York is a big state. Most of it is rural. New York City looks like a wart or pimple when you look at the state of New York on a map. So a couple of square miles of gibs-me-dats and dindus are going to set the policy for the other 95% of the state? No wonder some identifiable groups are disliked. Talk about the tale wagging the dog. There's your special privileges for you.

The 16 gauge has been in the closet for 70 years unless used for skeet shooting. It has never snuck out of the closet to shoot our family.

It likes your family. How do you know it isn't sneaking out at night for some Midnight Violence? I hope you keep it locked up.

That’s why I keep my guns locked up in a safe...so they won’t sneak out at night and commit gun violence on me.

“Almost 140 million in intervention, prevention and jobs programs”.
This looks to me like another way to distribute money to his cronies. Why ain’t he under indictment & impeached? That is a rhetorical question as we all know why.

What’s next for this despotic libtard jerk?

Car Control Laws for cars that go crazy and kill people at random?

How about laws to control and punish stupid and/or vindictive politicians who kill people in nursing homes...

“WTF?”

I hear you, and it’s so alien to us, but this is what he’s doing: He is PLAYING OFFENSE. The Dems are great at it, but our side only does it in very rare cases.

Creating a problem in order to take away citizens guaranteed rights and freedoms, is SOP for democrats and rinos.
