In a radio interview on Thursday with Albany’s WGDJ-AM, New York governor Andrew Cuomo said that he plans to work with state legislators next month to submit a proposal for new gun-control laws; in particular, Cuomo said, “our focus is assault weapons,” because current state laws regulating the weapons “have more holes that Swiss cheese.”

“I don’t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, ‘I need an assault weapon to go hunting,’” he said.

Cuomo continued, “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.”

I suggest that before Gov. Cuomo call upon the citizens of NY state to control firearms more, or confiscate them,. He and his political cronies representing the the people of NY, in both Cities, State and Federal government surrender their weapons first. (emphasis mine)

Kinda like your brain, you liberal hack.

If you aren't in a militia, what right do you have to keep and bear arms?

Confiscation wont happen. You can flat out guarantee that.

 

[Lakhota]

No militia - no guns!

Guess it brings up the question what is militia? In the Revolutionary War, the militia was simple farmers and towns folks picking up their hunting guns, and fighting alongside the "regulars" of the Army

The military and police are not militia.

Correct, this is just more rightwing demagoguery.

Duh, only if you're in a militia... Are you in a militia...? Actually, no one is - because we have a standing socialist army.

No militia - no guns!

If you we're right none of us would have guns. Cumquat.

Lakhota is an incredible moron, isn't he?

I think that Governor Cuomo, as well as any other Governors thinking the same thing, might want to consider the resulting blood-bath that would occur in the attempt to take the away assault away from the gun owners. The gun owners may fail, but how many law enforcement officers or national guard would have to be sacrificed in the attempt.
They're getting mine only after I've taken some of them with me.

That pretty much settles it. Cuomo is as insane as Lakhota.

That's not true. From the Supreme Court ruling:

1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

Heller was a shitty ruling, in future court cases it could be interpreted that you can only have a firearm in your home, it said nothing about outside your home.
