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.”
“Systemic injustices” is the fact that they refuse to put away criminals where they can’t hurt people. Does anyone really think Cuomo is really going to get tough with the criminal element? Who would vote for him?
right?
The biggest cause of gun violence is Liberalism getting into the hearts and minds of the population.
All decent law abiding New Yorkers are Sullivans now and again.

He needed to keep the post covid state of emergency going to keep and increase his tyrannical powers.
Can I help it if I am a trendsetter sometimes?
Jobs for gun toting yobs. Yobs of the inner city kind. Only certain races and ethnicities need apply. And you can keep yo guns. NY City and State don’t mind this and are too chickenshit to demand them. I can just imagine a state sponsored gun roundup in the ghetto from criminals in the ghetto. The resistance will be enormous.
8^)
Only liberals could believe that criminals who ignore the laws will somehow obey a gun control law.
Fourth of July shootings all occurred in cities with the strictest gun control.
I hope you can open this. It shows why you were safer on a NYC trolley car in the 1870s than in NYC today.

True, but the Dems will tout her participation and Kevin McCarthy just doesn't have what it takes to impose party discipline. No one is afraid of him. Every Dem is afraid of Pelosi even if a few finally oppose her.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Gov. Cuomo said his office would tackle “systemic injustices” related to gun violence in New York “just like we did with COVID.”
WTF?
Does that mean he will lock up the remaining old people in NY nursing homes with armed felons released early from prison?
That doesn’t seem right.
Close the borders, blow the bridges, put up fences!
NY Gov. Cuomo issues gun crackdown through ‘first-ever state of emergency for gun violence’”
The Democrats aka Demoncrats will all be jumping on board for this now.
If he or his minions knock on my door, I’ll slam it in their faces.
At least you don’t have a Japanese Nambu to mix it up with the Luger. That could get ugly. Throw in Baretta and have an Axis on your hands.
