Reuters<\/a> reports that, as predicted, the legacy governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, took advantage of his aide’s wounding on Monday to call for “national gun control” whatever the hell that means. <\/p>\n

Cuomo in an interview on CNN on Tuesday called for a renewed effort to pass a national policy, saying it is key to stopping the flow of weapons into New York from other states.<\/p>\n

“Elected officials have to have the political courage to step up and say, ‘This weekly, ongoing tragedy of loss of life, of innocent victims, school children, young girls, young boys, must stop,” Cuomo said on CNN.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, political courage. That’s what it is. What would take political courage would be for a politician to admit that they can’t regulate human behavior. New York is one of the most heavily gun-regulated states in the Union, and New York City, where the shooting took place is even more heavily regulated. The police haven’t found the shooter, but Cuomo claims that the guns they used came from out-of-state – I guess criminals can’t buy their illegal guns in New York now. The police have effectively enforced the SAFE Act so well that criminals aren’t selling guns out of the trunks of their cars or in alleys for fear of crossing the governor.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah, Cuomo says that he’s not anti-gun, he even owns a shotgun his spokesman tells us. Well, then, I completely trust him, you know, because someone said he owns a shotgun. The fact that he disarmed the entire state of New York should have no bearing on how I judge him, then. The fact that gun manufacturers had to create a whole new line of products just to conform to the idiotic restrictions he put on gun owners.<\/p>\n

A U.S. firearms policy would be aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and mentally ill people, Cuomo said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I thought we were already doing that. The people who shot his buddy, the aide, were breaking, who knows how many laws when they shot him. How is writing more laws going to prevent the next shooting? How’s about folks like Cuomo enforce the existing laws instead of writing more? Because that would cause politicians to admit that they’re incompetent and they can’t enforce the laws to the extent that it would have any effect on crime. That laws can’t regulate bad behavior. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
