You do have a few good politicians around, they are just very hard to find. But understand this was pure politics, plain and simple and designed to give cuomo a 'one -up-manship' over obama in what could only be the lowest, most brazen political campaign ploy for the white house in '16 that only someone as low as the cuomos, both he and his father, could think of. I know that spitzer and paterson were laughable but I think people forget how low both he and his father were during the elder's 3 terms. Prince Andrew was never meant to be trusted and the stupid dem party thought they could control him until they fell into dysfunction and then he had a clear road in, and has shown his true meglomanic fascist colors since. A mini Mousellini (sp ) that, and I believe 'Il Duce' would fit. And true to his colors he would never let a good crisis go to waste and for a fascist, the chance to disarm the peasantry is too good to miss. Damn the laws, dam the courts, push it down their throats until the courts tell you to stop and then blame the other guy. rahm emanual is using the same tactic now in chicago to hold off 2nd Amendment rights.
First there is registration, then confiscation, then subjugation. There are 4.5 million gun owners in new york state, and he knows he cannot possibly disarm you even if he calls in the national guard. He also knows that any hint of resistance, civil unrest and violence will absolutely screw his chance for the white house. Nobody outside ny would ever then consider someone for the white house who is that rash, that emotional about decisions and so secretive about them, especially if civil unrest followed. He would be stopped in his political tracks right at the deep end of a quicksand pit and that would be fine. No matter who we have in the white house now, nobody would ever put al sharpton in there, and they really wouldn't want some sneaky hothead in there either. I doubt he will ever get there but never doubt his intent to disarm the populace. How else will he be able to enforce taxation without hesitation.
