BROOKLYN — Gov. Andrew Cuomo expressed sadness and outrage Sunday in the wake of a street shooting that has left one of his staff members gravely injured. ... (snip) ... Gabay, a Bronx native and Harvard graduate, is in critical condition at Kings County Hospital, the governor's office said. He and his wife, Trenelle, are expecting their first child.
"It's personal to me. I know this young man. So beautiful. So giving. So kind. So unnecessary," Cuomo said. "I was just with the family. And the tears and the frustration. And I'm governor of the state of New York and there's nothing I can say and there's nothing I can do."
Cuomo noted that he championed one of the nation's toughest gun laws in the SAFE Act, a law that in part bans high-capacity magazines and which New York gun rights advocates continue to protest. But he hammered on the continued stagnation of such restrictions on the national stage.
"Anyone who doesn't believe we don't need to do something about gun control is delusional," Cuomo said. "We can protect the Second Amendment and legitimate gun owners, but we also need to protect people. How many young, innocent people have to die before this nation comes to its senses?"

And then someone will fire a firearm with a single shot.
And that single shot will be fatal.
WHAT NEXT???!?
Why, ban all guns.
It's the way of all psychotic politicians.
Oh, and note: HE’S NOT OUTRAGED AT THE CRIMINAL.
HE’S OUTRAGED AT GUN LAWS.
Is it just awkward parallelism, or is he admitting to featherbedding his staff?
Maybe Cuomo should look at Obama’s sons.
Cuomo is a worthless POS.
Not a word about going after the guy who did this.
Not a word.
Couldn't care less about the criminal.
Only 'cares' (read: sees an opportunity) about gun control.
A real borderline-personality kind of guy.
I’m sure Cuomo’s staffer doesn’t mind doing his bit for the narrative.

Maybe if the staffer had his own pistol, he'd have had a shot.
But Brooklyn? LOL, no CCW likely there.
In all due respect, you got that half right.
Not simply ban all guns, ban all guns from the law abiding, hard working, tax-paying, family man.
Everyone else is exempt. The gangbangers, illegals, and organizations like BLM and NOI get a pass.
Mark my words. That’s the plan. Notice they never, EVER talk about ridding guns from the ‘hood. Or the New Black Panthers.
It happened in your state, your city... your planned FAILED, Cuomo.

So turkey, how are you going to take criminal tools from the criminals?
I know I know we need more gun laws that will solve the problem. /s
typical democrat.. they’re still scrapping this guy’s brain matter off the sidewalk and he’s already using it for a political end..
And what is he angry about? He wrote the freaking gun laws.
They. Do. NOT. Work.
...I’m sure Cuomo’s staffer doesn’t mind doing his bit for the narrative...
While lying in intensive care near death in critical condition?
Are you serious?
What’s that old commercial....
Aaarrooon Burhhhhh
So I'm gonna' pass more gun confiscation laws
Please ... SOMEonev ... get this man out of office and make an appointment with Ben Carson
The criminal did not listen to the first 22,000 gun laws.
They will surely listen to gun law 22,001/s
Liberalism is a mental disease.
