New York sought to combat violence by rushing the nation's toughest gun control measure into law after the Connecticut school shootings that killed 26 people, but the state is now carving out an exemption to make sure movie and TV producers can stage running gun battles on Manhattan streets. ... Hollywood is also a major campaign fundraising stop for New York politicians. ...
He said movies and TV may use fake guns that wouldn't be subject to the new law but the industry wants "certainty." The revised law would allow them to use real weapons without real ammunition.
"There's no reason not to make a change like that to give an industry comfort, especially when it's an industry we want to do business in the state," the governor said.

NY’ers, I was just wondering how much more hypocrisy do you need before you throw the bum out?
“We spend a lot of money in the state bringing movie production here, post production here. So obviously we would want to facilitate that,” Cuomo said.Cuomo said the prop firearms [NOTE: real firearms, not replicas] used in films would probably not be classified as an assault weapon.

We The People have been lowered to a rank below actors. Cool.
I want to know what Cuomo is smoking in the smoke free State.

2nd Amendment bump for later.........
