Two new resolutions introduced to City Council

On: By: admin

Councilwoman Crystal Hudson has introduced two new virtue signalling resolutions to the Clown Council:

  • RES 681-2024 calls on the State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S-9904, in relation to defining the term mass shooting for purposes of emergency response measures and access to emergency funding.
  • RES 682-2024 calls on the State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S-9905, in relation to establishing the Office of Gun Violence Prevention and the Gun Violence Advisory Council.

These garbage bills exist primarily to help divert state monies to the cronies of electeds. They are both sponsored by Senator Zellnor Myrie who just so happens wants to run for Mayor next year. I will make an educated guess and say that Hudson’s main motivation is to use these resolutions to help aid Myrie’s mayoral campaign.

RES 600-2024

On: By: admin

Another gun control resolution was just introduced to the City Council by Councilwoman Julie Menin.

RES 600-2024, Calls on Congress to pass and the President to sign a law to set minimum age to buy all firearms from licensed dealers or private individuals at 21.

Councilman Erik Bottcher thinks he’s helping

On: By: admin

New bill introduced to the Clown Council, INT 1016-2024, Requires dealers in firearms, rifles, and shotguns to display a warning sign where the firearms, rifles, or shotguns are displayed or where they are transferred to the purchaser.

From the bill text:

A notice stating: “A firearm in the home significantly increases the risk of suicide, homicide, death during domestic disputes, and unintentional deaths to children, household members, and others. If you or a loved one is experiencing distress or depression, call the Mobile Crisis Team at 1-888-NYC-WELL (1-888-692-9355) or the National Suicide Hotline at 988.” Such notice shall be at least 8 inches by 11 inches and printed in no less than 36-point font, and shall be unobstructed in its entirety.

The sponsor is very pleased with himself for coming up with this “new” idea:

The obvious goal is to scare would-be gun owners into not exorcising their 2A rights. It won’t work because the fact that guns are dangerous is their main selling point. Clownsticks like Bottcher refuse to accept this.
