If NY Gov Cuomo Can Use National Guard Troops to Grab Ventilators, Why Not Guns? - The Truth About Guns

I hope you’ve heard about Governor Cuomo’s plan to deal with the New York City COVID-19 crisis: grab ventilators and personal protective equipment (PPE) from up-state hospitals and ship them to NYC. If Cuomo can get away with taking equipment — which he’s said “the entire state of New York”...

I guess we're not the only ones out there that get concerned about precedents that get set by tyrants during times of emergencies.

He has a huge problem, he knows where all the medical equipment is. He has no idea where all the guns are. Yes, he may know what was purchased AFTER 1968, with form 4473, but what about the millions of firearms purchased before they started using form 4473???
Additionally, its unconstitutional to use the military as a police force, and that's what he would have to do in order to use the NG to confiscate firearms from the civilian population, NOT THAT THE CONSTITUTION means anything to a dictator.

If Emperor corruption wants an actual shooting war, *this would be the way* ~~~to quote the Mandelorian

I dont think he would go that route, but I do think that he will go for a semi auto/rifle ban in the upcoming years. And he may not go door to door, but he willuse dirty tactics to enforce it because he will say "its the law".

^^^ this^^^ with a comment. Not all shops 4473 forms were computerized into the data base.
And yes if with out any warrant he can confiscate anything he wants. What is next Fire Arms ? What about FOOD for all the poor starving illegals he want to give free ed to. In his mind his power and judgement is limitless.
Mark my words if this does not end soon, bad things will happen.

They don’t have the manpower to go door to door. Stealing property from hospitals would be much simpler.

It's OK, I was assured by some of the best and brightest on this forum that he would never do that and slippery slopes don't happen.

Practice makes perfect especially under the cover of darkness

 

[Marine Cpl]

Oh wait... Analogies? Let’s deal with the subject at hand. Masks.

 

[GOPerfect]

Let me know when Cumhole actually does this. I will NOT be holding my breath while I wait.

 

[Darth]

Might want to, you may not have a mask.

Now I view some of these moronic maneuvers he does with a different spin. This brainless fool, Gov Monkeyface, is either going to slide into the democrat nomination to run in November against Pres Trump or, if not this year, then sometime down the road. As this shit for brains dictator continually shoves these edicts down our throats and compiles an even more socialist resume he's going to have to pay the piper on a national scale. There ain't an ice cubes chance in hell you'll see the rest of America accept the shit NY'ers accept.

Agreed, and I dont think they will. But its his mindset i find dangerous.

I know you butt heads with @Airborneguy on topics like this, and my intent was not to start another back and forth.

I just wanted to show that its not just people on this forum that get concerned with the type of tyrant cuomo is. Alot of people do not like the types of policies and practices that these leftist lunatics are using (like shutting down gun shops), and it gives people concerns for what might be coming down the road.

I can understand why someone would want to not get into theoreticals because the possibilities are endless and you cant argue with facts about something that hasnt happened. At the same time, I personally believe, that its important to pay attention to patterns of behavior because it can predict potentail future behavior that can negatively effect our rights. We could call this "political profiling".

To be clear, I dont think cuomo would have the national guard, or police start going door to door looking for guns. I do think we are one bad shooting away from another major gun ban. He wont have to go door to door if people cant buy certain guns/parts, cant take them out in public, and cant transport them for fear of serious jail time. It will be confiscation by fiat.

 

[Airborneguy]

Uh, while he might try to butt heads with me regularly, I have not responded to a single post of his for at least a year, per mod requests. No good will come of it so it is pointless. I don't talk to people like that respectfully in real life, I certainly won't do it online.

And with all due respect, please don't encourage it. I don't give a flying fuck what that person says or thinks of me.

 

[Deplorable Me]

replace deplorables with expendable

Hey.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Negative waves ?? Plain fact that He'll take from Western and central NY and support downstate which supported him in the past two elections. He lost 48 out of 53 Counties and won by a landslide so who is more important to him. I'd rather have it told straight than get lies. That way a person can prepare better. He's not going to disconnect ventilators down there and send them back. He's going to send "cash" Like sending sand to the Saudi's in a drought. He did zero prep for this disease and 70% polled say he's doing a great job. Must of been a downstate poll. I also see downstate don't care for My post. Figures

He lost 46 of the 62 counties. Just keeping the facts straight

Being from NY it's your responsibility to deal in situations that will lead to abuse of power. Because we have tried the "SAFE act won't get passed, you all are just paranoid" route and we see where we ended up.

It took literally one day this time for the "slippery slope that won't happen" to happen.

It took one day for to go from Cuomo is using his thugs to steal from horders to Cuomo is stealing from your home town to give to downstate.

The opinions of someone proven to be unfit for their job that makes perpetual threats and applauds the murder of the citizenry by the government in nearly every thread where someone doesn't agree with his frightening tyrannical stances is not going to make me not voice my opinions of dissent. While threats and intimidation might be a common problem solving skill, it has no place here and will not gain the desired result.
