Family of Woodstock Executive Director Michael Berg says Governor Andrew Cuomo’s proposal to help keep guns out of the hands of people convicted of domestic violence crimes is important.
"The person that has suffered domestic violence at the hands of a partner should not have to worry about a partner taking a gun out and threatening or using it," Berg said.
Under the proposal, people convicted of all domestic violence crimes, including misdemeanors, must surrender firearms. Currently, state law prohibits people convicted of felonies or serious offenses from carrying firearms, but this excludes certain misdemeanor offenses involving domestic violence like assault and battery. |

Anyone intent on killing someone will get a gun or use another weapon. Restrictions only affect law abiding citizens.
Another feel good law that won't work anymore than the rest of them. Criminals and prohibited persons will still get guns.

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
