Cuomo’s new proposal

Jun 6, 2018 Elections 2018, Elections 2020, Politics, State Legislation 5 Comments

Governor Cuomo has called for a new bill allowing teachers to petition the courts to remove guns from the homes of students. This is an expanded version of the idea behind S-7133A which was Reported two weeks ago.

Here is video of the Governor making this announcement:

What is odd is his drafting of a new bill this late in the session. I know he’s doing it now because he is worried about Cynthia Nixon’s campaign damaging his future Presidential aspirations. However, he could simply beat on the Republicans to get them to bring up S-7133A which would allow him to claim victory. That is all he really cares about, not enacting substantive legislation.

Money to burn

Forbes magazine reports:

“Speaking at the Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy on Wednesday, philanthropist Laura Arnold announced plans to spend $20 million over the next five years to fund gun violence research. She and her husband’s foundation would look to raise an additional $30 million, bringing funding up to $50 million for a grant project called the National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research …”

Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

“… The Arnolds plan to set up an advisory board to evaluate proposals from researchers and dispense funds over the next five years … Some areas likely to be studied include how guns are purchased, how changes in gun ownership occur, and the risks and benefits to having guns in the house. “The kinds of questions asked are certainly meant to guide policy,” Arnold said …”

In other words it’s going to be a money-funnel to fringe interest groups who will use the cash to create bogus studies in an effort to legitimize the gun control agenda.

This too sounds familiar.

“… This is the couple’s first foray into the gun control area, but not data-driven philanthropy. “Data will not only allow us to hope for better, but it empowers us to do better,” Arnold explained …”

You want data?  Ok.  Currently 42 states with 75% of the population are right-to-carry.  Is this causing any problems?  No.  Then why can’t New York adopt such a law?

Friday was “Gun Violence Awareness Day,” a now annual spectacle where antigunners, celebrity idiots and other crackpots #WearOrange so as to readily identify themselves as part of the political fringe.

Here is an example:

I do not see anything new of substance here. It is just more of the same hysterics that have failed to produce movement on their agenda.
