Guess he wants to compete with his Buddy, Rahm, for who´s city can have the most murders every weekend. Chicago IS a Gun Free City has been for years. It also has one of the highest murder rates in the country. There is a message there!

Cuomo is a liar. The Bushmaster was NOT used in the Sandy Shootings, it was left in the car. The murderer used a Glock and a Sig Sauer handgun, both of which are not assault weapons.

Yes, #1. Murder rates will go up. Does Cuomo realize that he would be signing a death warrant for many of his citizens?

After which crime will really skyrocket!!

Cuomo can go fly his legislation like a kite..............ignore him and the other progressives!

Are you sure about that #2 (or anyone else)? I thought the same, but the media is mum and I can´t confirm it. That is important.

Some liberals are just not teachable. New York has a governor who apparently has not heard of Chicago´s gun laws, and thinks the second amendment does not apply within New York´s borders.

Yea, though I walk through the dark valley
In the shadow of Socialists
I fear no evil, for You are at my side
With your rod and your staff that give me courage

Still, a holster with a loaded Glock would be welcome accessory...

#2. True,the Glock and the SIG are not "assault weapons". Neither is the Bushmaster. Bushmaster does not manufacture "assault weapons".

However, Bushmaster does manufacture some excellent Home/Homeland Defense Rifles.

Ny State and NY City already have some of the most prohibative gun controls in the nation.

In NY City a permit is required to own almost every kind of gun and it is almost impossible to get a permit - especially for a pistol.

NY State is not much better. Although you can own most long guns without a permit you cannot own a pistol without a permit and the state does its best to limit them.

One of the ironies of the gun control situation in NY City is that the restrictive "Sullivan Act" was written by a crooked democrat politician, ´Big´ Tim Sullivan, to actually reduce the penalties for gang members using illegal weapons and to keep guns out of the hands of the general population.

He was quoted as saying: “I want to make it so the young thugs in my district will get three years for carrying dangerous weapons instead of getting a sentence in the electric chair a year from now.”

First reports I heard was the Bushmaster was left in the car.

Rumor has it (and it´s only a ´rumor´ since I don´t remember the source) that the Newtown killings were accomplished with the Bushmaster and the suicide was done with the handgun. (he apparently carried two in his belt)

I wondered why there were no injuries, just killed, and that scenario would fit.

Another poster was correct in pointing out that NONE of the weapons were Assault Weapons.

You cannot argue or negotiate with people who are intellectually dishonest. Read John Lott´s - More Guns, Less Crime

Just ONE MORE liberal, socialist, marxist, communist democRAT showing his true colors. The Constitution of the United States and the American People be damned. Never, never let an opportunity to screw the people go by without acting like a reborn hitler or stalin.

Proposed deal would ban assault weapons, provide stiffer penalties on firearms used to commit a crime and offer stricter limits on magazine capacity

1) Unconstitutional. No one can legally describe an ´assault weapon´ without including every firearm made.
2) Okay, fine.
3) Same as Connecticut and it did them no good.

I think he should propose tougher laws to outlaw murder.

Luke 11:21 "When a strong man fully armed guards his own homestead, his possessions are undisturbed."

We start with your armed guards...

If the Press would indicate if the assilent´s gun was registered to him, the whole equation would change.

I like the idea of stiffer penalties on firearms that were used in the commission of a crime. But you can´t punish the gun owner, since the gun committed the crime!

I bet his Mafia buddies still get them.
