Andrew Cuomo<\/a> is the Governor of New York<\/a>. He is also one of the Democrat<\/a> party’s upcoming stars. I have no doubt we will be hearing more from him in the future. Hot Air<\/a> quoted one of his recent statements that needs to be considered as he rises to higher positions in government.<\/p>\n

In a radio interview on Thursday with Albany\u2019s WGDJ-AM, New York governor Andrew Cuomo said that he plans to work with state legislators next month to submit a proposal for new gun-control laws; in particular, Cuomo said, \u201cour focus is assault weapons,\u201d because current state laws regulating the weapons \u201chave more holes that Swiss cheese<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, \u2018I need an assault weapon<\/a> to go hunting,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuomo continued, \u201cConfiscation<\/a> could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option \u2014 keep your gun but permit it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Confiscation is not an option. Confiscation is against the Second Amendment<\/a>. The Second Amendment is part of the Constitution, which forms the foundation of American law<\/a>. If you destroy the foundation, you destroy the country.<\/p>\n

Just a note about the effectiveness of gun bans. The Sandy Hook Elementary School was a gun-free zone<\/a>. Connecticut has an assault weapons ban. Does anyone honestly believe that laws stop a mentally disturbed person from causing harm to innocent people? The theater in Colorado was particularly chosen by the shooter because it was gun-free. Criminals and mentally unstable people desiring to do harm to innocent people do not go where people are armed–they go where people are defenseless. Laws are not the answer. Dealing with the mentally ill is part of the answer, and teaching everyone to value life is part of the answer. I am not sure we will ever have the entire answer.<\/p>\n
