And sometimes it just hurts.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But you can bet that he&#8217;ll use the shooting as an excuse to pass more gun laws, you know, even though the tragedy happened in the most regulated area of the entire country, yet they can&#8217;t seem to get criminals to follow the laws they write. Even though Cuomo admits that&#8217;s there is nothing he can do to prevent gun violence, that won&#8217;t stop him from doing something, anything.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I&#8217;m sure that the state called every registered gun owner in the state to see if they had an alibi for their whereabouts during the shooting &#8211; that&#8217;s the only law enforcement reason to have gun registration in the state, right? So they can solve crimes by trolling through the list of gun owners. Otherwise, the only reason to register every gun in the state is to know where the guns are when they finally decide to confiscate all of the guns, or, at least, particular guns.<\/p>\n<p>But, the article isn&#8217;t without a few laughs;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Cuomo and several other elected officials were planning to fly to Puerto Rico to offer advice to the island government grappling with a debt crisis<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And maybe Chris Christie will fly down and give Puerto Rico some dieting tips, Joe Biden can give them home defense tips, Bernie Sanders can fly down and give them some business tips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press reports that a member of the legacy governor&#8217;s staff was shot in the &hellip; <a title=\"Gun violence in New York City\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61750\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Gun violence in New York City<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[170],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-who-knows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61750\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
