Sounds like he’s been working behind the scenes to get everyone on board for new legislation.

Cuomo is negotiating with Assembly and Senate leaders for a package of gun control laws

Sources told Kramer the governor and lawmakers are negotiating furiously in the hope that Cuomo can announce a deal during his speech Thursday.

Sources said the package is expected to include:

  • New restrictions on assault weapons

  • Stiffer penalties for using a gun to commit a crime

  • New limits on the number of bullets in a gun magazine

The second one doesn’t have terrible reasoning, but he can still piss off.

3

He can fuck off

4

WHOA those stiff penalties will certainly deter the suicidal psychopath that is hellbent on inflicting mass murder

5

Would it be possible to see individual states inact specific gun control legislation and thus suck some of the air out of the room with respect to draconian federal constraints? Certainly sucks harder for those residing in states clamping down but it would allow some of us to breathe a sigh of relief.

6

That way or a domino effect where states will jump onboard so they don’t look insensitive to the cause. :mad:

7

Yes it does, its redundant, ample criminal firearm law is already in place…

8

…shall not be infringed.

I’ve heard rumor of a law that it will be illegal to use (not own) pre ban magazines in the state after tomorrow.

It’s gun shop talk, but it’s something I kind of expected. He also used state authority to void a contract for a gun show in Albany that is being fought over in the courts.

I have know idea what is going to happen, but it would surprise me if he turns those of us living in this state into felons tomorrow.

10

Well yeah, that’s true.

I don’t know, like armed robbery and similar crimes?

11

This.

Last time I checked committing mass murder was illegal. Not to mention all the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime felonies on the books.

We see how well those have curbed crime huh . . . :rolleyes:

12

But…but…but, we have to do something!!!

Fuck him. He can eat a bag of flaccid dicks and die in a fire along with many, many others.

13

Wow, NY is gonna pass CA on laws this time. :frowning:

14

Yeah, he is playing games. My local reps don’t support it, but I am sure he is willing to give in on a ton of other programs he has been fighting for a win.
We share hear it all in his address to the Politburo tomorrow.

Damn you, Uncle Sam, for putting me in this state!!

15

blow up his face book

16

Magazine limits? Isn’t NY already at 10 rounds max?

17

I see this as the only pathway to confiscation. You can’t pass it federally, and it would be too big a task to disarm everyone at once. Do it state by state, especially with a combo of goodies for the 47% and incentives for big business to back it.

18

If several states start passing laws, it will also embolden the members of Congress to follow suit.

19

Or, if states try and fail then it could stop/slow down the fed. gov.

20

We should have drawn the line in the sand about 79 years ago with the original NFA, but everyone was a bit hungry to be concerned about such things at the time.

Thinking more and more that it’s high time for some good old fashioned secession…
Republic of Texas anyone?
