We gun owners are all shocked and saddened by the recent events that the criminal misuse of firearms has brought to some communities in our nation. As we try to make sense of these tragedies, it is easy for our elected officials to pass legislation, but enforcement is another matter. A requirement that all guns that utilize a clip, or magazine only be allowed a maximum of 7 rounds is a Pollyanna approach that will do nothing to curb gun violence. There are numerous sources of magazines, that will hold additional rounds available, and if Governor Cuomo is not prepared to go door-to-door to seek them out and confiscate them, than this proposed legislation is meaningless. NY currently has some of the toughest gun laws in the country, and aside from an all-out ban, there is nothing else that can legislatively be done that will curb the violence, while assure that the citizens of this Great Nation to continue to have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as upheld by the US Supreme Court. I think that the Governor has an eye to the White House and sees this as an opportunity to show that he is proactive about gun violence, and not because he sees his proposal any meaningful solution to the misuse of firearms. http://www.wbta1490.com/LocalNews/tabid/115/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3091/Governor-Cuomo-Legislators-Draft-Tougher-Gun-Laws-Following-CT-Massacre.aspx#Comments
