So you know that ate-up POS gun control law that rammed down the throats of New Yorkers called the SAFE Act? Well, the legacy governor, Andrew Cuomo wants you to know that it wasn’t his fault – it was the Bloomberg people and the Brady campaign who wrote it. I mean, disregard for a moment that Cuomo signed it and rode herd on the bill while it when through the legislature, but you didn’t really think he’d read it or try to understand the problems with the bill that Republicans tried to tell him about do you?<\/p>\n
From the New York Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n A Cuomo administration source is flatly denying the governor\u2019s claim that his new anti-gun SAFE Act was carefully drafted, saying the governor himself wasn\u2019t even aware of some provisions when it was hastily enacted into law.<\/p>\n \u201cThe governor thought the limit on the size of [gun] magazines would only apply to assault-style rifles, not to handguns,\u2019\u2019 said the source.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why there\u2019s the big problem now with handguns, among other things in the statute.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n The legal sale of virtually all semiautomatic handguns will soon be impossible because Cuomo\u2019s law limits the size of bullet-holding magazines to seven shots, virtually none of which are manufactured for sale.<\/p>\n \u201cMuch of what\u2019s in the law was drafted by people connected to Mayor Bloomberg and the Brady Center, not by the governor\u2019s staff,\u201d the source said. \u201cThat\u2019s why there are so many problems with it.\u2019\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, this only reinforces my contention all along that the only people who are against guns and gun ownership are ignorant about their function and uses. They’re totally ignorant about the entire issue – because they’re not interested in the fine points, they only know that “guns are bad” and that’s enough for them to have knee-jerk reactions and to try to legislate from that reaction.<\/p>\n
