Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Sunday that her office’s newly formed task force targeting illegal guns will meet for the first time Wednesday — days after a rookie NYPD cop was killed and another officer critically wounded with a stolen firearm.

“We have a moral obligation to do everything we can to fight the scourge of illegal guns on our streets,” Hochul said in a statement. “Too many lives have been lost because of illegal firearms that should never have been on our streets.”

Both this idiot and the new NYC mayor are both whining about “illegel guns” coming in from out of state….neither has mentioned the new pro-criminal Manhattan DA…

Losers…

Hochul The Fool’s “illegal” gun task force is going to run into the same problem its predecessors did: the sheer number of blacks that will get caught in their net will have them accused of “racism”.

It’s obvious that the law-abiding are to blame.

I got a great idea, they should outlaw killing cops, and this whole issue would go away. Our society has devolved into some sort of cartoon and there is no intelligent discussion on real issues. Just submit to your commie superiors.

Gee, why don’t you keep the people that USE the illegal guns in jail and off the streets. Guns don’t kill without some criminal pulling the trigger. These people just can’t be this stupid.

What an a-hole.

She should have said “we have a moral obligation to do everything you can to fight the scourge of criminals on the streets and keep them in prison”!

She confuses criminals with guns. What an a-hole.

I’d care a lot more if the NYPD didn’t refuse to enforce vaccine cards.

Another hollow gesture that will accomplish absolutely nothing. But I guess that’’s the point, isn’t it? Actually solving the problem would involve vigorous prosecutions directed at some individuals who make up their base. So, it’s those wicked guns again.

Please put the criminals who use a gun or any other lethal weapon (a car?) away without bail for a long time.

“”” illegal firearms that should never have been on our streets.”””


Be very careful New Yorkers because those guns laying on your streets are self-triggering and will kill you.

And they are making it harder for you to defend yourself and easier for the criminals to carry guns.

The task force will determine that it’s Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels’ fault for not doing enough.

In the liberal mind, all guns are or should be illegal. This committee will be capable of doing anything to law abiding citizens who’s only crime is owning firearms.

there is no way to stop illegal guns. i would say though...no cop should be on the streets without wearing a protective vest.
