New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Hatred Of The Second Amendment Knows No Bounds

Andrew Cuomo poses with Moms Demand Action Scum

New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- New York Governor Andrew Cuomo hates guns, all kinds of guns. He hates them with a passion. His vehement disdain for these inanimate objects rests on the ground that, as he perceives it, they serve no legitimate or useful purpose. Guns do kill, of course. That fact isn’t to be denied. But, there is a huge difference between guns in the hands of criminals and lunatics, on the one hand, and guns in the hands of law-abiding, trained individuals, on the other—a world of difference that antigun zealots don’t seem to recognize or appreciate; or, if they do, then it is something they simply refuse to acknowledge.

Criminals and lunatics use guns to threaten life and to destroy innocent life. Law-abiding rational citizens use guns to thwart threats by criminals and lunatics, in order to protect their life and other innocent life.

The mainstream media and antigun zealots invariably conflate the two or otherwise skirt this critical difference. Why do they do this? They do so because drawing attention to a clear and obvious difference between misuse of guns by criminals and lunatics, on the one hand, and the proper, lawful use of guns for self-defense by the law-abiding citizen, on the other hand, doesn’t fit the false and shameless narrative antigun zealots wish to convey: that no concrete difference exists between proper lawful use and improper illegal use of firearms.

Thus, Cuomo and other Radical Leftists refuse even so much as to acknowledge, even if grudgingly, the benefits a firearm affords the average law-abiding citizen. After all, they have a fairy tale to tell the public. And it is that the armed citizen is somehow less safe when confronted by an assailant and that society, too, is more threatened by an armed citizenry.

Removing firearms from the hands of the average, honest, rational, law-abiding American citizen is their raison d’etre. So, Cuomo and the Radical Left elements that comprise antigun groups continue their call for ever more restrictive gun laws; weaving a fable—one consistent with both the tenets of Collectivism and with their own warped political, social, and ethical view of society and of the role and place of the citizen in that society. The Second Amendment is an anathema to them. Thus, they seek no less than the eventual destruction of the Second Amendment.

It is the American citizenry, itself, that antigun zealots, like Cuomo, seek to disarm; it isn’t the criminal element and the occasional lunatic they are really intent on disarming. If Cuomo’s true aim and that of the Radical Left, pertaining to gun ownership and gun possession, remains hidden, then it is hidden in plain view.

The plain fact of the matter is that Cuomo and other Progressives and Radical Leftists do not truly consider the Bill of Rights to be a salient component of the Constitution. Yet, the Ten Amendments, that comprise our Bill of Rights, must be taken together, as the framers intended, as one, unified whole, and an integral and critical component of the U.S. Constitution.

Cuomo and those who agree with is political and social philosophy play with the Ten Amendments, pretending that these Ten Amendments—fundamental, primordial, bestowed on man by the Divine Creator—are, in their inception, nothing more than man-made constructions, not unlike any Congressional Statute, which they are not. But, this is the tacit assumption and fiction that informs all the policy decisions and aims of Cuomo and of the other Radical Leftists, who hold to, and place their faith in, the tenets of Collectivism.

How often have New York residents heard this third-term Governor, Cuomo, bombastically asserting that he took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, even as his actions invariably belie his words?

Governor Cuomo, and others who express his sentiments, reject the Second Amendment out-of-hand—a critical component of and, in fact, one of the most important components of the Constitution, as a Free Republic would not long exist without it. Yet, Cuomo and others of his political and social persuasion couldn’t care less about the Constitution, even as they exclaim, disingenuously and hypocritically, that they do.

Andrew Cuomo is Absolutely Apoplectic About Both Guns and Civilian Ownership and Possession Of Guns

Americans must not forget that Cuomo’s obsession with guns, generally, and with civilian ownership and possession of guns, particularly, isn’t something he concocted out-of-the-blue, and it didn’t happen yesterday. Having been able to use his State, New York, as a test-bed for his radical antigun policies to play out, Cuomo’s attack on the Second Amendment commenced many years ago, on January 1, 2011, during his first term in Office. Cuomo’s agenda then took shape over time, rapidly gathering steam, during the course of his first four-year term in Office, as New York’s Governor. Let Americans be ever mindful of that.

As reported by the weblog Observer, in an article published on January 9, 2013, titled, ‘Cuomo Vows to ‘Enact the Toughest Assault Weapon Ban in the Nation, Period!’

“One of the most hotly anticipated elements of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s annual State of the State address today [to the New York Legislature, delivered on Jan 9, 2013] was his plan to enact ‘sweeping’ gun control reforms in New York. In his speech, the governor outlined a seven-point gun control plan focused on “high-capacity assault rifles” that he promised would be one of the ‘toughest’ in the nation and lead similar laws to spread beyond New York.

The governor outlined the items on his seven-point gun plan.

‘Number one: Enact the toughest assault weapon ban in the nation, period!’ he shouted, before ticking off his other new gun control proposals. ‘Number two, close the private sale loophole by requiring federal background checks. Number three, ban high-capacity magazines. Number four, enact tougher penalties for illegal gun use, guns in school grounds and violent gangs. Number five, keep guns from people who are mentally ill. Number six, ban direct internet sales of ammunition in New York. Number seven, create a state [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] check on all ammunition purchases.’

[To this 7 Point list, we can now add, Cuomo’s 8th Point: “On Monday, February 25, 2019, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Red Flag Bill into law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He was joined by many of his colleagues in New York State government, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to celebrate this new legislation, the first in the nation of its kind. . . .” (Source: John Jay College of Criminal Justice), Mr. Cuomo predicting the rest of the country will follow New York’s lead and adopt stiffer gun laws].

By the end of the speech, the governor was shouting.”

Cuomo never intended his antigun agenda to be confined to one State. His agenda was much more ambitious. On October 30, 2015, The New York Times exclaimed, in an article titled, “Cuomo Planning Role in National Gun Control Campaign,” that Cuomo anticipated national attention. “ ‘The political climate is right again for action,’ ” said Mr. Cuomo, who has endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president. He added, ‘The appetite is there, I think, in the presidential election, especially in the Democratic primary but also in the general election.’ ” Well, that didn’t come to pass and Governor Cuomo obviously never forgave Donald Trump for having had the audacity to win the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, and thereby dashing Cuomo’s hope of implementation of a National NY Safe Act—dashing Cuomo’s hope of adding an important feather in “Chief Cuomo’s” own headdress. See article in the weblog, “Syracuse,” posted on April 29, 2019, titled, “Cuomo to Trump on gun violence: You have done nothing but tweet.”

Don’t for a moment think that the incessant, vicious, virulent attack on the Second Amendment won’t factor as a major issue in the upcoming 2020 U.S. Presidential election, as Democrats gear up for the debates, beginning this month. It most definitely will! And Cuomo will, no doubt, be cheering the Candidates on, all the way.

Cuomo is a mental case. He is completely evil and a menace to society as a whole. One day his utopia will come crashing down around his head and hopefully it will be enough to take him the rest of the way to insanity. If there has ever been anyone who deserved the worst and most horrible sickness mankind has to offer it is Andrew Cuomo. I feel so sorry for the people of New York that do not support him.

Cuomo does NOT hate the Second Amendment–he hates conservatism and people backed freedom, the Second Amendment is just in his and that of other super top liberals way of their real goal. Okay, he is a low I.Q. guy too…

Cuomo the homo is scared sh*tless of armed citizens because he knows that his record on abortion (murder NY style), and all the other liberal agendas he advocates are so radical that one day he’ll be held accountable for his actions, most likely by citizens overthrowing him, or exacting justice.

The NY SAFE Act is the blueprint for unconstitutional laws across the nation. The new Commiefornia ammo background check law is direct from the NY SAFE Act. Cuomo DID get his unconstitutional law passed, and all but his SEVEN round limit for magazines was HELD UP IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT. (7 was determined to be arbitrary – and the limit bumped to 10) (Supreme Court??? Anywhere??? Any time now??? Uphold the Constitution???) It’s OK for now. Cuomo’s NY SAFE Act has a 4% compliance rate! Americans are NOT surrendering the Second Amendment to these progressive sonofabitches! For now it is… Read more »

It seems that Cuomo is in violation of his Oath of office that he signed and file per Article XIII, Section 1 of the New York State Constitution and therefore should be removed from office.

@DontTreadOnMe…NJ & Conn. should have similar forums, and team up with NY. They need to put those TRAITORS back in their boxes. The will must be there, considering their non-compliance with the illegal, unconstitutional gun laws passed by the Bolsheviks in each of those States, and all they need to do is get organized into a cohesive, powerful group of Patriots. And they need to get out and vote those miscreants out of office.

Gray V Sanders, and Reynolds v Sims put all of us in a position where a few major urban cities run politics for the entire nation. These cases need to be set aside so that in bicameral state legislatures we can return to a Federal Model of government where one house is mob dominated but the other has equal representation for each county in any given state.

Your generalization is as ignorant as it gets. I live in NY and am a fierce defender of the 2nd Amendment. NY has about 20 million residents, unfortunately half of them live in NYC. When the NY “UN” Safe Act was passed, illegally, in the middle of the night (literally) 52 of 62 total counties in the state passed resolutions OPPOSING the tyrannical law. Upstate NY is as rural a place as you can find in this country, but sadly the entire state is controlled by the city. That still leaves about half the population that is forced to live… Read more »

Those seven categories you list can be consolidated under one heading: socialist. Those who would disarm citizens who have broken no law have an agenda, and that is the ultimate elimination of all rights enumerated in the Constitution.

His daddy had a string of nursing homes that was investigated for Medicare and insurance fraud.

“There are three and only three ways, to reform our congressional legislation. The representative, judicial and belligerent principle alone can be relied on; or as they are more familiarly called, the ballot box, the jury box and the cartouch (cartridge) box. The two first are constitutional, the last revolutionary.” ~ Stephen Decatur Miller October 9, 1830.

Please initiate action in that order. Violence should be a last resort unless it be in response to violent criminality.

Trump and Cuomo despise one another. Mario Cuomo took a lot of money from Trump back in the day but got screwed over by Mario. Remember, Don is still a social liberal, which is weird why Hollywood had an issue with him. Don was also a big time Democrat as well. He looked into what would essentially would be a third party with people like Jessie Jackson back in the 90’s. So there is a lot of bad blood there. If Trump were to win, Andy knows he is going to feel the Wrath of Trump, and rightfully so.

Trump is the only thing holding it all together at the moment. Note that I say for the moment. Moments don’t typically last long that’s why they are moments.

For the son of Pope Mario the Pious, gun owners are the class enemy in a pure Marxist sense. The class enemy must be exterminated in order to build a better world. It’s that simple, as Stalin taught the world in his murderous way. Cuomo is just as evil, in intentions if not capabilities.
