Committee Discusses NY SAFE Act

Coughlin sounds like an uneducated schmuck! "jumping the bandwagon"?!? He apparently sides with Cuomo. Also intresting how the P-J writes " The controversial law intends to keep guns out of the hands of convicted felons and potentially dangerous mental health patients. Additionally, it bans high-capacity magazines and assault weapons." The law does not intend to do this otherwise the laws against driving intoxicated would keep people from driving drunk. Criminals do not follow laws, upstanding citizens do!

Coughlin i hope you have another job because this one will be ending for you soon. If you really do not agree with coumo and his merry band of thieves than be a man and stand up to him like the rest of New York is doing.

So coughlin's slip is showing adain. I agree with darkeagle - we have too many "men"(???????) in politics that can be described as Sissified Windbags. Not a good idea coughlin to penalize we law abiding gun owners in favor of criminals.

Any issue that makes counties start standing up to a NYC controlled Albany is good in my book...even if I don't wholeheartedly agree with it. Time for counties to grow a spine and say NO to Albany and the crap it passes down on upstaters.

Goodell recently told The Post-Journal. "It was driven by political opportunism...." What politician is not driven by opportunism in this extreme era of bipartisanship? This is another Democratic viewpoint vs. a Republican viewpoint. Cuomo made the right move and all other states should follow suit.

This is our last chance to have a voice. Only two people made a showing at last night's meeting representing the general public. Everyone who can make it to the meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 27th at 6:30 should be there. This is not a party issue, it's a constitutional right issue.

"Cuomo made the right move and all other states should follow suit." and yet one more democrat anti Constitution liberal makes another comment right out of the liberal handbook for dummies. Repeal this anti-American law.

Ya say ya want a revolution welllll ya knoww**** we all want to change the world. Cuomo is just an misinformed poly with his own lobby to keep happy. What this is going to do, is force all of the law abiding citizens to become criminals. I'm not changing a thing because of his unconstitutional law. I have a second ammendment and that is the law I will follow. Like it or lump it Cuomo!!!

as you can see, howard loves totalitarianism.

cuomo & his crew of flunkies can pass gun control legislature in a midnight closed door session but just go ahead & ask the man if he can reform welfare in this state.

cuomo will say in 2016 "i passed stricter gun legislation in the wake of a national tragedy before any other state, or the white house, even acted."

just things to remember about this guy, this andy "HUD" cuomo, in 2016.

anybody know what happened under his watch when he was the head of HUD?

"cuomo made the right move & all other states should follow suit."

what a joke.

i bet if you replaced all the firearm restrictions with entitlement reform or spending cuts your leftwing arse would be singing a different tune.

"VP Biden: 'We need more gun laws because we don't have time to enforce the ones we have" Sounds like something he would say. And the rest of the 2nd Amendment anti-America gun haters.

Hey Coughlin - I would call passing legislation in the middle of the night immediately after a tragedy "jumping on the bandwagon". With your thinking likit is no wonder our Constitution is under attack from many angles. Liberals cite narrow minded talking points, others cite the Constitution.

To abide by their oath to uphold the constitution of this country, these legislators must stand up and oppose this legislation, despite their personal beliefs. If not, they must be held accountable.

Duckster, Believe it or not, some people take our constitutional rights as seriously as economic and social issues. I’m not a gun fanatic, but I am deeply concerned about cutting into the bill of rights. The main point is “when and where do we draw the line”? The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. What part of shall not be infringed do you not get? Or if you think the second amendment is outdated,? Take a look at the fourth amendment, you remember, unreasonable search and seizure. Well some say “It’s for our own good” (patriot act??). Over time our rights can and may be taken away. Don’t be so naïve as to think it couldn’t happen to us. Sixth amendment “Speedy trial, rights of the accused, right to council? Ask the Guantanamo Bay question. Some of them are US citizens. It cuts both ways . We NEED to protect the bill of rights!! Don’t be stupid and short sighted! WTF???
