NY Cuomo pushes for major gun ban....

Was this a case of the 16 year old bullying the 12 year old?

What made a 12 year old kill a 16 year old?

It was a robbery.

I have no idea why this was even brought up since the weapon used was a pistol, not an "assault weapon."

I heard about that guy getting killed over a coat. What is the world coming to?

Word around the hood is they wanted his jacket.

cumo's logic can be used to limit ban everything.

too much free speech is bad, why do we need so much. etc etc.

lol American gun politics. A huge majority of gun crimes involve pistols, therefore we should ban rifles.

Yup. Street racing teen kills people in a crash racing his Honda Civic, we need to ban those dangerous high power Corvettes and sports cars!

quoting the article here:

Cracking down on high-powered weapons has long been a priority for many urban Democrats in the Legislature; to draw attention to the issue, one senator even went to a gun shop near Albany to buy ammunition for an AK-47 while the transaction was recorded with a hidden camera.

so what is exactly wrong or illegal about purchasing 7.62mm ammo? nothing as far as i know of.

and i would LOVE to find out the number of firearm homicides in new york that are performed with handguns/shotguns/rifles. you know, because criminals regularly walk around with a rifle hidden in the back of their pants :roll:

One of the reasons the politicians are making such ridiculous anti-gun wish lists is they want the pro-gun citizens, politicians and lobbyists to be more amenable to making some type of "compromise".
The only type of compromise I want to see is complete CCW reciprocity amongst all the states, no taxes of any kind paid on gun or ammunition purchases and "must issue" CCW laws.

As well as a repeal of the 1934 National Firearms Act, and the 1986 Firearms Owners Protection Act.

Good additions! Sounds like a reasonable compromise to me. Who says gun owners aren't willing to compromise?

But 7.62x39 is "high-powered!" Sure, it's considerably slower, less powerful, and has a much shorter effective range than .30-06, .30-30, .308, or practically any other common deer hunting round. But scary looking guns use it, so it's "high-powered assault ammo."
