Office of Gun Violence Prevention

From Susan Arbetter:

The NYS budget establishes a new Office of Gun Violence Prevention under the Division of Criminal Justice Services. It's mission: To prevent, reduce and address "gun violence and its consequences." It will identify funding opportunities and other resources related to gun violence prevention and will "facilitate response activities" to assist communities impacted by mass gun violence. It is also tasked to create a public awareness campaign around safe gun storage by 9/1/25.

If you truly want to reduce "gun violence", create one non negotiable sentence for committing a crime with a gun. Death by hanging. No life sentence. No lethal injection. Rope and a chair. Anything else is just blowing smoke up my ass.

Jesus, are you kidding me? Half of us would be hung within a year. Don't you know how this would play out?

Step 1: make gun crime a capital offense
Step 2: expand the definition of gun crime

More bureaucracy makes everything better.

I just want murder to be illegal already, come on guys do something. Make a committee or special interest group. Protect the kids.

Dads for common sense murder control laws

This is about as far as the government should be involved in most things.

A "Don't eat lead paint" PSA could easily replace all the bs laws and taxes created to do the same thing.

Covid was the same thing. Tell me it's dangerous (lolol) and how to protect myself. No need to arrest people for standing too close at the grocery store.

Fuck the government, BTW.

In a State that can't balance it's books and is in deep red ink for decades this type of shit should be embarrassing... And voters should be on the phone with their elected representatives asking what the fuck is this shit? Not a dime should be allocated for "gun violence" as it doesn't exist!..

NY NY... What a joke it's become!

20 year mandatory sentence if you use a gun in the commission of a crime.

Rob a convenience store with a gun? 20 years…no parole, no good time…20 years mandatory in prison.

It doesn’t address violent crime but I guarantee the use of guns goes down.

(I’m not talking about deliberate homicide here, hang ‘em)

How about we get the root of the problem and just create an Office of Gun Violence Prevention ?
