Excerpts from Cuomo’s second inaugural address

On: By: admin

Some gun excerpts from Gov. Cuomo’s second inaugural address:

“… we made New York safer by passing sensible gun control … After Sandy Hook when we saw the massacre and we saw the children killed and we said, enough is enough with this lunacy of guns, and you needed a big state to pass sensible gun control who did it?  The State of New York did it.  We did it first.  That is who we are and that is what we come from …”

Um, no, we’re not actually safer:

“The number of shooting victims has skyrocketed across the city this year — up 43 percent in just the last month — while fewer guns are coming off the streets, NYPD statistics reveal … In the last month alone, 129 people were shot, according to the latest CompStat figures, or 43.3 percent more than for the same period last year.  Since January, there has been an overall 13.2 percent increase in shooting victims, while 10.2 percent fewer guns have been recovered compared to 2013 …”

Grimm resigns

Another corrupt politician goes down, Congressman Michael Grimm (R-11).

Leading GOP candidates to replace him include Staten Island District Attorney Dan Donovan, who is vocally antigun, and Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, who voted for SAFE.  I believe her excuse for doing so was Bloomberg made her do it.

Leading Democrat candidates include Assemblyman Michael Cusick, who also voted for SAFE, and former antigun Congressman Michael McMahon.

Bloomberg came up short

Remember when Mike Bloomberg said he’d spend $50 million to challenge the NRA in this years elections?

He ended up spending half that:

“… The second biggest donor, billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, also spent much of his cash — about half of his $27.7 million total — through his own PAC, Independence USA PAC. And, like [Tom] Steyer, Bloomberg had mixed results that raised questions about the effectiveness of his strategy, which sometimes seemed in conflict with itself …”

Boosting Hillary

Fox News reports, “Dems race to back Clinton even before 2016 announcement“:

“High-profile Democrats are jumping on the “Ready for Hillary” bandwagon, supporting Clinton for president before she even enters the race — boosting her presumptive candidacy and potentially their own political fortunes …”

And driving another nail into Andrew Cuomo’s political coffin.

Spoke too soon

I spoke too soon.  I should have known better:

“… A day after freeing a gang member who posted an anti-cop death threat online, a Brooklyn judge ignored the admonishment of a court boss — and sprung a man who allegedly punched a police officer and threatened to kill his colleagues, The Post has learned.  Criminal Court Judge Laura Johnson blatantly disregarded an Office of Court Administration boss who said she “should be setting an example to the public that threatening or assaulting police officers isn’t an acceptable thing,” a courthouse source said … On Tuesday night, Johnson released Travis Maye, 26, without bail following his arrest in a violent melee with cops earlier that day … According to a transcript of Maye’s arraignment hearing, prosecutor Tziyonah Langsam asked for $100,000 bail, reciting the threats Maye allegedly made after being subdued.  “Once handcuffed, the defendant yelled, ‘I Googled all of you.  Find out where you live.  I don’t know about dead cops or your families.  I will meet you in a bodega and get you.  You will die,’ ” Langsam said …”

If this doesn’t prove the need for more gun control I don’t know what does.

At least one elected official thinks this is bad, though Bill is from Rochester not NYC:

How low can we go?

If you thought nobody could sink lower than the race hustlers at the NAACP calling for more gun control, think again:

“A Brooklyn judge cut loose a gang member who had posted online threats to gun down cops in the hours after two NYPD officers were executed in their patrol car — ignoring prosecutors’ pleas to keep him behind bars, The Post has learned.  Criminal Court Judge Laura Johnson let Devon Coley, 18, waltz free without bail despite the fact that he faces seven years behind bars on charges he made a terroristic threat — complete with an image of a killer shooting cops in their car — and is awaiting trial in two unrelated cases involving assault and gun possession.  Johnson’s stunning no-bail decision came just two days after Saturday’s broad-daylight slayings of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu by a gunman bent on avenging the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown at the hands of police …”

What is even more outrageous is that I have not seen a single elected official come out and denounce this judge.
