How scare and how full of crap do you have to be to come up with a federal bill that does not exist?
But when the prosecutor himself has no problem lying about the details of the bill in a press conference, why wouldn’t Newsday make up stuff?
“(Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R.) Vance said someone from Vermont, “where there are no permit requirements, could come into New York City with a loaded gun, come to Times Square, go to the subways and be amongst us in our communities.”
And apparently people from Vermont are bloodthirsty assholes that will mow down innocent New Yorkers for just looking at them funny. Who knew they were so violent up there in The Green Mountain State? And one more thing Cyrus… read the effing bill: you need a permit for National Reciprocity, you moron…wait, he knows that, but his target audience doesn’t so bullshit is allowed and indicated.
“NYPD officers would be powerless to arrest and charge that person because possession of a gun would be legal in Vermont, he said.”
This is just too stupid to even reply to it.
“This obviously is bigger than a city issue, bigger than a state issue, it is a national issue,” said Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas. “This bill must be defeated, it simply will cost lives if it passes.”
I don’t think people in NY State would give a shit if thugs beating the crap of an elderly man in the subway suddenly stopped breathing altogether because a tourist (or even a native) gave him a remedial lesson on manners. Dear Ms. Singas: When you side with the criminals, it is time to resign to the office of District Attorney. But then again, criminals keep you in business, right?
And as I always have to ask: If your cause is righteous, Why lie?
2010 Vermont homicide rate: 1.1 per 100k.
2010 New York homicide rate: 4.5 per 100k.
Yet it’s people from Vermont you’re scared will murder you?
When your argument has nothing but lies to hang it’s hat on……..
It’s really simple; the high and mighty never have been, and never will be, comfortable with the idea that the ‘riff-raff’ (as they define anyone not a part of their high and mighty clique) have easy access to weapons. Especially weapons that are easy to conceal, and are very effective. And that someday, somewhere, one of the riff-raff might take ‘exception’ to a plan that disadvantages them.
What this boils down to is that NYC and it’s politicians think they are the center of the universe and the most important part of America. NYC doesn’t even recognize reciprocity with pistol permits from the rest of New York State. For the life of me, I’ll never understand why anyone would live there, or even visit there.
