 a new version of “The emperor’s new clothes”. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!
Not an idiot. A liar. A manipulator. An evil person lusting for power.
Cuomo projects pure evil from those eyes. He is permanently enraged that his daddy was diselected as Gov and never got to be President. That said, Cuomo makes Malloy of CT look like a wimp who has a linebacker bodyguard. Malloy has already blinked about door to door confiscation.
Cuomo won’t hesitate to send in the Gestapo. He wants violent takedowns & seizures carried out against people he personally hates, i.e., defiant gun owners. Any protests will be answered by Cuomo with his upraised middle finger.
Genetic or environment (nature or nurture)? What makes a libtard?
Illinois doesn’t look so bad. God bless New Yorkers. There’s a STORM coming.
You know you are in a bad state when Illinois starts looking pretty nice.
Except in Canada. And Australia. And England. Oh, and California. And Illinois.
Well, he did say one true thing, and I paraphrase. “If you like God, guns, or freedom get the f*@# out of New York, and take your tax dollars with you!”
He is telegraphing that he cannot raise any $$$ to run against Hilary for POTUS so this is his way of saving face and blaming us gun owners
It hasn’t happened?! What about those letters of confiscation in NYC!
Registration, the anti’s list of law abiding citizens.
TTACer for the win!!
why did you put a picture of a turd for the gov. face in the article?
All that is missing from this photo is a powdered wig. Hang ’em, hang ’em high.
He doesnt want to confiscate your guns, he wants to register them THEN confiscate them. Saves time and trouble from just going door to door.
There’s no confiscation if the serfs turn in their weapons to the police. Typical lawyer speak.
What the hell is he talking about? It happens all the time! What dream world do these critters live in? NY is unique in that all modern handguns must be licensed – even if kept strictly at home – mere possession without this is illegal. Doesn’t he know this?
While it’s true that the Pataki laws of the 1990’s provided for “grandfathering”, the “Safe Act” did not. Maybe the backlash from this ill-conceived abomination is finally dawning on these guys and they’re trying to wiggle out of the consequences. OK, how about repeal?
I view a demand that one dispose of their property, move it out of state, or turn it into the state as confiscation. For “lawful” firearms owners, the state can confiscate our firearms by edict and without physically knocking on our door. It doesn’t make the state’s action any less confiscatory. They have still effectively taken my property from me. The irony, of course, is that when the state does eventually decide to knock on doors and physically confiscate firearms, they’ll justify it on the basis that the firearm was unlawfully owned so no one should complain.
It hasn’t happened….YET. They are just waiting for the right time, or the next mass shooting with death rates over at least 10. It’s hard to sell gun control/confiscation when only “afew” people died. It’s gonna take another Sandy Hook like incident or worse to really get the confiscation wheels turning. And even then I doubt they will go very far. Lets be honest we all thought there was gonna be another AWB after Sandy Hook, and the anti gun folks certainly tried, but failed.
It is already happening in CA right now as you read this. They have confiscation teams out on the streets, knocking doors of anyone that has a record of ever being a firearm owner and is now possibly ineligible to own for whatever reason (sought mental health counseling, misdemeanor drug arrest, restraining order, etc)
That’s a crock of crap. I had my house broken into 11 yrs ago while I lived in Seattle. The very first think the cop’s said was did you assault weapon get taken as well and then they proceed to list off every gun I had purchased to date. They hadn’t even said hello yet and I felt like a criminal because they had all that information on hand.
That included the rifle I bought in Tennessee 23 yrs ago and the 2 shotguns I bought in Nebraska 3 yrs before the break in. Let my tell you, all fire are purchases are recorded, kept on file with the persons name, address, and phone # already…
BTW, the only information I gave the displace when I call about the break in was my house and been broken into and the address, then ask’d if they could send out someone to investigate and file a report of the break in… I was more surprised and horrified to learn that the Seattle PD had complete access to my name, address, and phone #’s, employer, etc… For every gun that I have bought in my life…
When I moved to Omaha, NE. I was again horrified to learn I was required by city law to register all hand gun I own or purchase, again I was given a piece of paper with all of the firearms I’ve ever owned with my personal info at the time of purchase of those guns to verify as to which ones I still owned. So, they could keep the list up to date.
Now really, does anyone believe that they are not already on a list with all personal info. that any and all PD’s can call up at will then track you down. Remember ladies and gents, the BATFE, FBI, CIA, and Homeland Security are all above the laws of this land. For they have been breaking the laws for as long as I have been alive and before.
Just remember that.. YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED WITH the GOV/BATFE if you have purchased a firearm legally. Us pro- 2A people are worried about stuff that has already happened. But aren’t worried about stuff that is going to happen. Mostly because we don’t know what it is yet.
Yes, their is over 300 million firearms in the public hands but if the Gov. Ordered us to turn them in on penalty of breaking the law I’d bet that 295 million fire are would be turned in because of morons who still trust the Gov. The five million left to us hard core 2A people would be rounded up in less then 3 months and arrested, demonized by the press as crazies and un-patriotic people and no one would care after 1 or 2 yrs… Then we would be completely police state, we live at the sufferance of the rich and the Gov., All of the Gov.
Really doubt 295M would get turned in. Instead there would be a spike in sales of 6″ PVC pipe & shovels and then closely followed by numerous canoe mishaps.
5 dead confiscators and the program would come to a halt. “You want that door kicked in, YOU do it!”
Nope. The groups would go to overwhelming force with even less reluctance to shoot first–“This is another dirtbag just like the one that shot Joe Bleau the other day.”
Owners of “assault weapons” in NYC were promised they could keep them if only the owners would register them. They did. Then Dinkins came into office and ordered the guns’ confiscation. Cuomo is a lying control freak. Don’t ever trust him.
He and the rest like him, can go screw themselves…
This is the man who believes the 2nd Amendment is about hunting deer.
This is the man who passed a law limiting magazine capacity to 7, even though few guns have a 7 round magazine available. Then altered it to allow 10 round mags but only loaded with 7, then got slapped down in court.
This is the man who believes that a 5 dollar pistol grip transforms a benign sporting rifle into a deadly “assault weapon.”
This is the man who said “confiscation is an option” and told gun-rights advocates that they don’t belong in New York.
And now we’re supposed to trust him?
I’m a former NYC resident who had NYPD come looking to confiscate my long guns when they weren’t registered one year.
They probably thought I’d forgotten and that they’d get to arrest me and confiscate, but the guns had been moved upstate, hence the reason for no longer registering.
Well, don’t quit there! Did they take your word for it, or insist on a search? If they searched, did they have a warrant? If they had a warrant, what did they claim as probable cause?
I’d just LOVE to hear those answers.
This happened roughly 15 years ago, mind you. They wanted to come in and I refused to let them in. They asked if I had X,Y and Z shotguns still, and I said I did, and they asked where they were and if they could see them, and I explained they were at my house in upstate. I believe they did ask me exactly where they went and I gave them the address of the house and explained that was why I didn’t reregister them. This seemed sufficient to remove any probable cause they may have been looking for.
I’m sure if I answered the door and was like,
