Al i should be clear that i am not an active user of illegal drugs, just a proponent of legalizing it for recreational use. I've said my peace and you've said yours. I hope I live 35 more years too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Flag law coming in first 100 days. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-vows-passage-legislation-first-100-days-make-new-yorks-nation-leading-gun-laws The Governor has vowed to pass the Red Flag Bill, also known as the extreme risk protection order bill, which would prevent individuals who show signs of being a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or possessing any kind of firearm. If passed, this legislation would make New York the first in the United States to allow its teachers and school administrators to pursue court intervention. In addition, the Governor will push to ban bump stocks and extend the background check waiting period for purchasing guns from three to ten days. Red Flag Bill According to the Governor's Office, no law currently exists in New York State that enables a court to issue an order to temporarily seize firearms from a person who is showing red flags, like violent behavior, or is believed to pose a severe threat of harm to himself, herself, or others unless that person has also been accused of a crime or family offense. In addition, no state in the nation currently authorizes its teachers and school administrators to pursue court intervention to prevent school shootings. Governor Cuomo previously advanced the legislation to keep guns away from individuals who pose a danger with the launch of a statewide campaign to pass the Red Flag Gun Protection Bill last June. The campaign included a series of bus tours to schools across the state to stand in solidarity with students, teachers and school administrators who support the bill and other common sense gun reform.

Rattler Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Basically they take away the guns they know about, but maybe not all a man has, without due process and work on the principle of guilty until proved innocent. Totally unconstitutional. In the case of a man who is a real violent threat to society, they take guns from him, but can't be sure he won't get one anyway, and then leave him among the innocent to figure out some other way to kill people if he can't get a gun. If a man is showing real "red flag" signs, why isn't he put in a nut house after a judge finds him to be a threat? Because it's about the guns, not safety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of these shootings are from kids with mental issues and are usually under drugs to keep them at bay but they never want to address those issues!

Indeed it is, unfortunately it has already passed in other states. This, along with the SAFE ACT, cannot be fixed until Ginsburg steps down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congress holds out the proverbial, governmental carrot, by offering $$$$$$ to each and every state that enacts a red flag law.

Rattler Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) More on the legal marijuana issue. By Alex Berenson, Author, Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence The following is adapted from a speech delivered on January 15, 2019, at Hillsdale College’s Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C. https://patriotpost.us/opinion/60641?mailing_id=4027&utm_medium=email&utm_source=pp.email.4027&utm_campaign=digest&utm_content=body Yet the link between marijuana and violence doesn’t appear limited to people with preexisting psychosis. Researchers have studied alcohol and violence for generations, proving that alcohol is a risk factor for domestic abuse, assault, and even murder. Far less work has been done on marijuana, in part because advocates have stigmatized anyone who raises the issue. But studies showing that marijuana use is a significant risk factor for violence have quietly piled up. Many of them weren’t even designed to catch the link, but they did. Dozens of such studies exist, covering everything from bullying by high school students to fighting among vacationers in Spain. In most cases, studies find that the risk is at least as significant as with alcohol. A 2012 paper in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence examined a federal survey of more than 9,000 adolescents and found that marijuana use was associated with a doubling of domestic violence; a 2017 paper in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiologyexamined drivers of violence among 6,000 British and Chinese men and found that drug use — the drug nearly always being cannabis — translated into a five-fold increase in violence. Today that risk is translating into real-world impacts. Before states legalized recreational cannabis, advocates said that legalization would let police focus on hardened criminals rather than marijuana smokers and thus reduce violent crime. Some advocates go so far as to claim that legalization has reduced violent crime. In a 2017 speech calling for federal legalization, U.S. Senator Cory Booker said that “states [that have legalized marijuana] are seeing decreases in violent crime.” He was wrong. The first four states to legalize marijuana for recreational use were Colorado and Washington in 2014 and Alaska and Oregon in 2015. Combined, those four states had about 450 murders and 30,300 aggravated assaults in 2013. Last year, they had almost 620 murders and 38,000 aggravated assaults — an increase of 37 percent for murders and 25 percent for aggravated assaults, far greater than the national increase, even after accounting for differences in population growth.

Steve D Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Cuomo is on a roll. He is proposing cutting state aid to local government which will mean local government will have to raise taxes or make cuts to maintain budgets. It is a significant amount of money to a lot of towns and will have a big impact on their budgets. A cut in Andrew Cuomo's budget sends town, village officials scrambling ALBANY – Gov. Andrew Cuomo's $176 billion budget proposal included an unwelcome surprise for more than 90 percent of towns and villages across the state: Key state funding they've relied on for years would be eliminated. Cuomo's budget, which he unveiled Tuesday, dramatically changed how the state distributes what's known as Aid and Incentives for Municipalities funding, or AIM, which is state money given to local governments to use as they see fit. Under Cuomo's plan, towns and villages would be able to hang on to their AIM funding — amounts ranging from a thousand to a few million dollars each year — only if they rely on it for more than 2 percent of their budget. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2019/01/17/andrew-cuomo-budget-aim-funding-town-village/2602429002/ Edited January 25, 2019 by Steve D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Lawmakers are actually doing something. Nothing for the tax payers, but something: NY Capitol News NY lawmakers pass Jose Peralta New York State DREAM Act ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10/AP) - The New York Senate and Assembly both passed the Jose Peralta New York State DREAM Act on Wednesday. The legislation allows undocumented children who are already students in the state to qualify for state aid for higher education. It also creates a fund for college scholarship opportunities and removes barriers that prevent undocumented families from college saving programs. Senate Republicans criticized the passage saying "it will reward law-breaking illegal immigrants with free college tuition." https://www.news10.com/news/ny-capitol-news/ny-senate-passes-jose-peralta-new-york-state-dream-act/1719758339 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our taxes will be going up, just on a different level. Our State dollars are better spend supporting the LGBT community and giving illegals more benefits then American citizens. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
