NY Gov. Cuomo: Gun Confiscation “Could Be An Option” (XX BARF)
The Right Sphere ^ | December 21, 2012 2:14 pm | Posted by Brandon Kiser

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Thursday that he had started discussions with leaders of the State Legislature about new gun control measures, and that he planned to propose a package of gun legislation in his State of the State address on Jan. 9.

“There’s a big difference of opinion on these issues,” Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, said in an interview on an Albany radio station.

The New York Assembly, controlled by Democrats, has voted for a number of proposed gun control measures in recent years, only to have the legislation falter in the Senate, which has been controlled by Republicans. (Starting next month, the Senate is to be led by a coalition of Republicans and a breakaway faction of Democrats.)

In the interview, Mr. Cuomo did not offer specifics about the measures he might propose, but, while discussing assault weapons, he said: “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”

They will go after the Militias with full military might
With live video broadcast on CNN to show “us” how radical the gun folks are and to show The average joe they mean business!

After that there will be lines of people not seen
since the food kitchens of the 30s of sheep
handing in their firearms for fear of the boot of
Zero’s Gestapo aided by their freshly trained
youth ( fema) brownshirts.

It’s the consequences that matter

Yep. Some consequences are not reversible.

I agree. Your a God given Human being, First. (all frailties included)
We all have our skills, talents, gifts with the choice and determination to use them. Wisdom is the key.

Gender and ‘reproduction’ is down the list.

You’re welcome to use it as a tag line, too.....be my guest.
I don’t own the truth.

November 6th was, after all, one of the worst days in American history.

Sounds very possible ‘51 and yeah, there will be those that meekly submit and turn in their weapons. There will also be a large group of the American people, (I’ll include a LOT of we FReepers in that group, young and old), that will ‘go down swingin’.

Maybe Obama really does want to be like Lincoln.

It’s bad enough he’s dictating law, spying and spending via exec. order.

Be interesting to see him try to round up all the guns in the US, dictating the end of the second amendment.

We live in interesting times.

But Cuomo continues to get high poll ratings.

Will threatening to take away NYers First Amendment rights finally wake up more NYers?

then attack pockets of areas to Persuade the rest to capitulate.

This might work the first one or two times, but after the news got out, heavily armed patriots like you and me would come from all over and mobilize to protect our countrymen and Constitution.

confiscation only works if they go house to house - literally every one - private sale / swaps wont reflect on their records….dont believe hype.

Think about it - would the dems allow a jackbooted illegal search in their homes? - really?

A criminal taking guns from the law abiding citizen, you dont think for one minute he would suggest going into urban neighborhoods and confiscating guns from gangbangers do you?
Ill see you and raise you one, the flies to sh## agenda rolls on. “Get out of jail free” card politicians poking and prodding the tiger in the cage

Their homes no, our homes YES.

“NY Gov. Cuomo: Gun Confiscation “Could Be An Option”

Your dictator buddy Kaddhafi called out his mercenary thugs to confiscate arms from Libyans. Rumor is that it didn’t turn out well for him.

Well let me know how confiscation works when they cross 110th Street in New York.
There are not enough police or National Guard to go door to door in New York State or anyplace else to confiscate guns and forget mandatory turn in also.

His turf is the city, bet he does not dare exit his cocoon. Not safe where you are hated.

Obozo has that same dilemma.
