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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
