Cuomo Close To Announcing Sweeping New Gun Control Laws

[Paslode]

And the Sheeple speak.....

We're poor little lambs
who have lost our way,
Baa Baa Baa,

We're little black sheep
who have gone astray
Baa Baa Baa

Gentlemen songsters off on a spree
doomed from here to eternity,
Lord, have mercy on such as we,
Baa Baa Baa.

“There’s just too many incidents that are happening that you think could be avoided if there were stronger regulations about it,” one mother from Larchmont said, adding when asked if her children’s safety is her motivation, “Absolutely, I mean you can’t even send them to school now. Now my kids have police in front of their school. I mean you wonder how far it’s going to go.”

“I think it’s necessary with everything that’s happening,” Mamaroneck resident Gail Nubile added. “With the recent things that have been going on it does make you think that things to be happening, so you have to be extra cautious.”

Who can shepherd this flock.....Why Andrew Cuomo can shepherd them to safety!!!

Recovery hell, he'll have the gangstas on the payroll and supply them with firearms like BATFE did.

Before I get crucified as anti-2nd Amendment, let me say that I do support the 2nd Amendment in its original meaning and want an armed 'militia'!

However, I am not a member of the NRA, in part because most of the people I know who were I deemed to be assholes.

I have read their publication...usually on Saturdays in my barbershop(s) - my barbers are usually old and have a habit of dying. IF there is misunderstanding as to the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment over the past 40 years or so, the NRA is, at least, in part to blame. Their ads extol the hunting and sport shooting aspects - and leave out any references to an "armed citizenry".

Sadly, there is a lot of truth in your statement. The "old guard" was into African safaris, "duck hunting", and "sporting use" and violently opposed the more "plebian" aspects of firearms use - including the founder's interpretation of/rationale for the 2nd Amendment. After all - they were the "old rich white guys" who knew what was best for literally everything. And they compromised (read surrendered) a lot of ground to the anti-gunners over the years of their ascendancy. Most appeared to actively despise the AR; it offended their sensibilities (e.g. Zumbo's assinine comments). The internal fighting that gave us the current leadership was ugly and prolonged. Thankfully, the new guard's position protects everyone's rights, not just the ones that "sportsman purists" find appealing. Check out some of the new American Rifleman publications, they do a much better job of 2nd Amendment education and address the interests of a much broader base of firearms enthusiasts. Unfortunately there are still scores of old guard loyalists out there who decry the "strident, confrontational, combative" positions taken by the current leadership. They continue to accept "sporting purpose" as a legitimate litmus test and continue to appeal to "reasonable restrictions" and "give a little to appease the gun ban crowd in hopes that when they come back, it won't be to take their beloved sporting arms". (Can you tell I'm more than a little contemptuous of that position?) While I applaud the efforts of some of the smaller, more vocal groups (GOA, GRNC, etc.) the NRA is still the 800 lb. gorilla in the room. Yes - I am an Endowment Member. And your barbershop needs to get some newer reading material!

Zonie, I heartily disagree with your statement. The militia is armed in the body of the constitution, there is no need to arm them again in the Bill of Rights. The arming is to Completely (Well) Control (Regulated) the Militia, as an out of control militia is not a free state. They were concerned about "War Lords" and a corrupt out of control government that would be reined n by an armed citizenry.

The 2d Amendment does NOT arm the militia, it controls the militia and the government.

This armed militia definition is a new one started during the machine gun ban and furthered during 68 gun ban debates. It is BS IMHO.

Granted. However, to me, these words leave a bit of 'wiggle room' for the Congress, which is why I suspect that some wanted an amendment specifically guaranteeing the 'right of the people to keep and bear arms'.

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

My current 'barbershop' has People as its best choice. (You'd think Fayetteville would have some decent, real, barbershops... someone throw me a bone!)

However, they are still way ahead of my doctor's magazines. It has been informative to refresh myself on the Monica Lewinski brouhaha.

Meh, no surprise here. Keep in mind that NYS already has a 10 round limit, and a maximum of two "evil" features on the books. NYC, 5 rounds and zero "evil" features.

Cuomo: ‘No One Needs 10 Bullets To Kill A Deer’

I know for fact that some people can't get it done with 5rds and could have probably used 10 plus...I have heard it with my own ears.

Regarding assholes... there are plenty to go around. I'm confident that they can be found in every organization.

I support the NRA, but I am not a member for the same reason I am not a member of the RINO party!

Also, I never thought it prudent to have my name associated with any gun organization - be it the NRA, Ruger, etc. - let alone on a (BOLO) CCW list in the Sheriffs office!

FYI, Free NRA membership: NRA Life of Duty is an exclusive program for members of the military, law enforcement and first responders who serve and protect our nation.

A little more conservative gun rights organization: RMGO
