NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo
says the state of New York is serious about gun confiscation. The
Democrat and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development told an
Albany radio station he plans to propose a package of draconian
legislation during his State of the State address next month.
“I don’t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, ‘I need an
assault weapon to go hunting,’” Cuomo said, according to the New York
Times. “There is a balance here — I understand the rights of gun owners;
I understand the rights of hunters.”
“Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it,” the governor said.
Cuomo’s confiscation scheme follows remarks by liberal members of the establishment media who demand the government seize firearms from law-abiding citizens. Earlier this week, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz tweeted in favor of gun confiscation.
“We need to get guns and bullets and automatic weapons off the streets,” said CNN’s Don Lemon following the Sandy Hook massacre. “They should only be available to police officers and to hunt al-Qaeda and the Taliban and not hunt elementary school children.”
Anti-Second Amendment advocates have attacked gun ownership from a number of angles. On Thursday, anti-gun zealot and filmmaker Michael Moore said the desire to own firearms and support the Second Amendment is tied to racism.
“I think we’re a very frightened people,” Moore said. “I think we’ve been frightened ever since we landed on these shores. We were frightened of the native people… we were frightened of the slaves we brought over, as we should have been.”
Moore said gun ownership “cuts down to the heart of our race problem that we still haven’t resolved.”
