The Governor is unhappy with Congress:
“Disappointed critics blasted bipartisan steps to expand background checks for gun buyers as falling short of the great leap expected in the anguished days after Newtown … “It is unbelievable that this Congress is going to fundementally fail to act on a societal scourge,” Cuomo said during a Wednesday radio appearance. “This is a Congress that is captive of the extremism and there is no clearer proof of that than this,” Cuomo said. “I think it is a damning commentary on this Congress.” …”
The only thing he is upset about is the colossal miscalculation he made with the SAFE Act.
He wanted New York to be the first state to pass new gun control laws. He thought he could exploit Newtown for personal political gain and use SAFE as a springboard to launch a ’16 presidential campaign. What he got instead was a huge drop in popularity, his so-called women’s agenda tanking in the legislature and his name dropping off the radar of top tier potential Democrat candidates.
Cuomo thought that by championing gun control he would be seen as a national leader. Well, he is. Cuomo a national leader on an unpopular fringe issue. That’s instant karma.
good
Ha Ha Ha!
Stall tactics…
1) Registration is against federal law(s)
2) Message of necessity has ZERO grounds when most of the law had over a year to be enforced.
3) No public input
The list is excessively long…
But hey, don’t forget to thank them for waking up so many NY’ers!
If he’s re-elected A) I’m out B ) our efforts mean NOTHING
Sad panda! Lol That’s what happens when you screw over 90% of your constituents!
“This is a Congress that is a captive of extremism…” These words of Cuomo accuse us of being extremists? Since when did standing up to protect our natural right of self-protection become an extremism? Any elected official who sees no problem with taking that right away from us is the true extremist. Thankfully his misguided, self-serving attempt to position himself for a 2016 Presidential run through the enactment of the SAFE Act, which proved his intolerance of freedom for the common man, means he’s finished as a politician in this country. He might find N. Korea or China better suited for his future political aspirations.
Sounds like little Andy has a diaper rash.
I see it a little different. I think that THE NATIONAL SCOURGE IS PROGRESSIVISM. Lets talk about the accomplishments of one of the nations leading progressives. Our little Marxist hero had a position running HUD where he strong armed the banks to issue sub standard loans. So on his CV, under accomplishments, he can list the financial collapse of 2008. But that’s OK, every piece of shit bum deserves the same house I busted my ass all my life for (and finally got at 47 because I actually waited until I could fucking afford it), and I should be obligated to pay for it. NY makes sure that no career criminal is ever locked up for an inordinately long time because that would be heartless. So the murder, mayhem, and blood letting that is a direct consequence of NYs big heart can also go on his CV, and by the way, that carneage dwarfs all the mass shootings combined to mathematical insignificance. And last, but not least, is the virtual destruction of the 2A in NY. But that is for our safety even in the face of the prior accomplishment. Have no delusions, he would have gone all the way to a penalty of 10 years in prison for possession of a single bullet if he thought he could have. It is WE who are the real bad guys and WE who are really dangerous and deserve to be locked up.
