Well looking past the obvious problem of that pesky 2nd amendment, who do you think they would get to carry out this confiscation? The police?

Cuomo is simply capitalizing on a tragic event for political gain...like many others.

I'm glad Cuomo "understands the rights of gun owners".

The National Guard did a pretty effective job of it the last time...

Here we go, what our forefathers warned us about.

New York Governor: Gun Confiscation on the Table
December 21, 2012
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is getting his gun control proposals ready and they're looking pretty unconstitutional.

He added that he was focusing his attention on changing state laws restricting the possession of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. The governor described the state’s existing ban on those items as having “more holes than Swiss cheese.”

“I don’t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, ‘I need an assault weapon to go hunting,’ ” he said. At the same time, he noted that he owns a shotgun that he has used for hunting, and said, “There is a balance here — I understand the rights of gun owners; I understand the rights of hunters.”

In the interview, Mr. Cuomo did not offer specifics about the measures he might propose, but, while discussing assault weapons, he said: “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”

Yes I need a M-16 full auto to hunt with. What else could you hunt with. Duh
The anti-gun people use stupid statements like this and people give it merits. They don't ever give the real reason why people have the right to have them. That's their tactics.

New York Governor:

"Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. ”

The thing the we've all been told that could never happen in the USA and we're crazy for even thinking it could happen and has never even been proposed in the USA.

It is an insane notion... Which is why is can be tried. Which is why it will not work
