Not So Shocking News Alert: Crime Rate Among Anti-Gun Politicians Extremely High and Rising

Other than a local Fox29 station report below… I don’t remember this being reported in the mainstream. More information at guns.com who noted:

Schilirio is one of 600 mayors who signed on to an open letter to Harry Reid and the United States Senate from MAIG and published as a paid advertisement in USA Today.

GunsSaveLives had the following to add:

This morning we ripped anti gun politicians for not having their facts straight, now we rip them for not following the very laws they help to pass.

According to Fox News, prosecutors in the state of NY have announced 2 arrests of sitting state politicians in 3 days.

Both broke the law to benefit themselves.

Over the last 8 years 11 NY state senators have been charged with crimes.

NY currently ranks the worst for corruption at the state government level.

Which states come in 2nd and 3rd? I’ll give you two guesses.

California and Illinois have those honors.

So, the top three most corrupt state governments in the country based on the number of its elected officials who were arrested are New York, California and Illinois.

What else do those three states have in common? They are three of the strictest states in the country when it comes to gun control.

It only makes sense that corrupt politicians would want to have a disarmed populace to fleece.

The corruption of anti gun politicians doesn’t stop at the state level though. Anti gun mayors seem to be having just as many problems recently, with numerous members of anti gunner Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns organization being arrested on various crimes. Note, most of these mayors are immediately removed from the organization’s roster upon arrest. (Sources: Here, Here and Here)

I wonder what the overall crime rate of, oh I don’t know, let’s say the NRA is compared to these state legislatures.

More reported at FoxNews regarding the crackdown on a festering corruption problem in Democrat-run states:

WASHINGTON – For the second time in three days, prosecutors in New York announced the arrest of a sitting state politician accused of breaking the law for his own benefit.

This week’s rapid-fire round of arrests caps the latest push by federal prosecutors to crack down on illegal activity by elected officials across the country — and New York is not alone among states whose public officials are compiling a jarringly long rap sheet.

In New York, 11 state senators have been charged with crimes over the last six years. In Illinois, four of the last seven governors have been convicted on criminal charges. New York and California have each racked up thousands of federal public corruption convictions over the last few decades. [...]

A FORM OF GUN CONFISCATION HAS REPORTEDLY BEGUN IN NEW YORK STATE — HERE’S THE JUSTIFICATION BEING USED

Despite promises from the president and a host of other politicians who are pushing for more gun control that nobody is coming for your guns, the confiscation of guns and gun permits has apparently started in some form in New York State. One attorney representing several people who have been forced to surrender their guns spoke with TheBlaze and alerted us to some disturbing facts:

• Gun owners are losing their 2nd Amendment rights without due process.
• HIPAA Laws are likely being compromised and the 4th and 5th Amendments are being violated in some of these cases

How did confiscation start happening so quickly? Apparently the gun grabbing was triggered by something inside the NY SAFE Act — New York’s new gun law — that has a provision apparently mandating confiscation of weapons and permits if someone has been prescribed psychotropic drugs.

These are the mood altering drugs, like valium — anxiety medication.

I wonder what about pot?

Pay Your Poll Tax, Or No Gun For You

This has got to be as stupid as it gets … Didn’t the Democrats already do this by prohibiting Blacks from owning guns? They called it their Black codes. Why Blacks don’t know, got to ask them.

OK, since we know abortion kills a child, how about liability insurance for getting an abortion. Or are Democrats still sticking with abortion is for the undesirable among us?

This is a novel way of limiting a God given right, wouldn’t you say?

A contingent of liberal Democrats in Congress is proposing a new federal gun control idea: mandatory liability insurance for gun owners.

When New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced the legislation last month with eight other Democrats, she boasted that it is “the first bill to require liability insurance of gun buyers nationwide.”

Maloney’s “Firearm Risk Protection Act” requires gun buyers to have “a qualified liability insurance policy” before they are able to legally purchase a firearm.

Study: Obamacare to raise individual claim costs by 32 percent

Note — claim costs, that is what the Insurance companies pay for your claim for doctor services …

Don’t judge a book by its title, the saying goes. Perhaps the same adage should be applied to federal legislation.

Under the Affordable Care Act, medical claim costs, the largest driver of health insurance premiums, are expected to increase by 32 percent for individuals, a new study by the Society of Actuaries finds.

Though some states might see declines in cost-per-person medical claims, the report found “the overwhelming majority will see double-digit increases in their individual health insurance markets, where people purchase coverage directly from insurers,” The Associated Press reports.

The disparity of the increase between states is stark.

California’s claim costs are estimated to increase by 62 percent by 2017. In Ohio, it’s expected to be 80 percent. Florida costs are expected to grow 20 percent and in Maryland, 67 percent. The higher claim costs are related to the increase in sick people expected to join the pool, according to the report.

Sen. Reid Beefs up ‘Base Bill’ to Destroy American Gun Ownership

We now know a lot more about what’s going to happen with gun control legislation than we did a few days ago.

Interesting Interview With Duane Liptak Of Magpul

Mayor Doomberg did it …

Cam Edwards of NRA News interviewed Duane Liptak of Magpul yesterday after Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) signed HB 1224 into law. Mr. Liptak is the Director of Product Management and Marketing for Magpul.

Mr. Liptak had a number of interesting comments during the course of the interview. First, Magpul will be going with a multi-state, multi-location manufacturing approach. While they haven’t released just where they are going, certain sites have already been selected. They plan a phased move out of Colorado with the magazine manufacturing being the first part of their company to move for obvious reasons.

When asked about their current employees and the impact the move will have on them, Mr. Liptak said that many of the current employees had expressed a desire to move with the company to the new locations. He seemed rather gratified by this loyalty of the employees to Magpul.

Magpul met with a number of state legislators during the fight against HB 1224. While Magpul presented facts and legal opinions as well as stressing the economic repercussions of the bill, this didn’t seem to make any headway with a number of the Democrats. Mr. Liptak noted that every time they went to the state capitol, they always ran into lobbyists from Bloomberg and MAIG. He said they were everywhere. It is a sad day when a New York billionaire can buy a western state legislature so easily. It reminds one of the railroad barons in Frank Norris’ The Octopus so dominated California of the late 19th century.

Cuomo: That gun law I signed turned out to be utterly unworkable, huh?

A dive from 74% approval to 24% has a way of clearing the head, no? Vote the jerk out.

If Andrew Cuomo has truly had an epiphany about his approach to gun regulation, it’s not really evident from this admission.  The New York Times reports that Cuomo will now try to rush some changes into his banner gun-control legislation that forced New York gun owners to use magazines that no one manufactures, with even the one exception to the rule found to be unworkable

Legal Insurrection writes:

In the wake of the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., Gov.Andrew M. Cuomo of New York pushed through the State Legislature gun control measures that included not only a tougher assault weapons ban but also a tighter restriction on the maximum legal capacity of gun magazines.

But after weeks of criticism from gun owners, Mr. Cuomo said on Wednesday that he would seek to ease the restriction, which he said had proved unworkable even before it was scheduled to take effect on April 15.

The gun-control law, approved in January, banned the sale of magazines that hold more than seven rounds of ammunition. But, Mr. Cuomo said Wednesday, seven-round magazines are not widely manufactured. And, although the new gun law provided an exemption for the use of 10-round magazines at firing ranges and competitions, it did not provide a legal way for gun owners to purchase such magazines.

Now, one might think that after having been embarrassed by his own ignorance — and in the face of a number of critics who pointed these issues out from the beginning — Cuomo would advise the legislature to repeal the bill and start over again.  One would be … wrong. This New York governor has decided to correct one idiocy with another, emphasis mine:

As a result, he said, he and legislative leaders were negotiating language that would continue to allow the sale of magazines holding up to 10 rounds, but still forbid New Yorkers from loading more than 7 rounds into those magazines.

Er, what? Will the police be around to check how many bullets are loaded into each magazine?  And, by the way, will criminals be deterred from loading rounds 8, 9, and 10 into the magazine?  The whole idea of magazine limits is to limit those with criminal intent from firing too many bullets without having to reload, at which point the law expects the disarmed to rush the criminal rather than shoot back and hope he’s worse at reloading than they will be at beating someone into submission. How will Cuomo’s latest idea deter criminals, who will have zero fear of having a gun inspection before committing their crimes?

Ok let’s get ready to rob a bank. Everybody check to see they don’t have more than 7 bullets loaded, right? Let’s do it … Don’t you see it?

Or why not this … if that kind of restriction was at all useful, then why pass a law forbidding 15-round or 30-round magazines at all? Just pass a law that says no one can load more than seven bullets into the magazine, and voila! Who knew how easy it was? Problem solved, right?

Poll: GOP NYers ditch Democrat Cuomo after gun

A poll shows New York Republican voters for the first time disapprove of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s performance following the Democrat’s push for a gun-control bill.

The Quinnipiac University poll finds 55% of Republican voters disapprove of Cuomo, with 27% approving of his job performance.

In December, 74% of Republicans approved of Cuomo’s performance.

In January, Cuomo presented a State of the State address that included a more liberal policy agenda. Cuomo’s goals include a women’s agenda with a strengthening of abortion laws.

Cuomo has a 49% approval among independent voters. Sixty-nine percent of Democrats approve of his performance two years into the job.

The poll questioned 1,165 votes March 11 through Sunday. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9%age points.

Sen. Schumer Quietly Adds Extreme Measures to Gun Sellers Bill

The dictator always wants to help the people. With disarmament. The dictator’s scribbler has been very bust.

Think what it would be like if Obama had control of the House in 2914. Even I, don’t think the squishy House is this damn dumb.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has quietly added a slew of new measures to his self-sponsored gun control bill currently making its way through the Senate.

Schumer has been fighting to get his Protecting Responsible Gun Sellers Act of 2013 (S 374)–now called the Fix Gun Checks Act of 2013–passed into law, but one of the early problems with the bill was that it was essentially a shell or placeholder bill, incomplete at the time of introduction.

Ostensibly, Schumer’s bill is meant to change current laws to require that all firearm sales initiate a background check on the buyer before the sale is finalized. Currently, private citizens are exempt from performing background checks when they sell guns to other private citizens.

Though the original bill introduced was a shortened version, the New York Senator has since added new amendments to his bill that raise concerns for gun rights advocates.

Schumer’s new Section 202 will make it illegal for an unlicensed person to transfer a gun to any other non-licensed person. The law would require that a licensed gun seller perform an NICS check and fill out a Form 4473 before a transfer would be legal.

Exceptions include transfers from husband to wife or immediate family, short-term transfers for hunting purposes (if the owner is present), or at a shooting range or for firearms instruction.

Section 202 also sets maximum fees for the paperwork and demands that the FFL keep the paperwork during the length of the transfer.

Section 203 is the more problematic section, as it requires that gun owners report the theft or loss of a firearm within 24 hours after discovering the loss. Unless a report is filed with the “Attorney General and to the appropriate authorities,” the gun owner faces five years of imprisonment.

Second Amendment supporters have been fighting to make sure these transfer records are not kept by the federal government in what would essentially become a national gun owner’s database.
