Cuomo demonstrates gun control leadership

The Island Now

I would like to applaud Governor Andrew Cuomo for his State of the State address where as he came out fighting. He is in my opinion the country’s sheriff who wants guns in the hands of responsible citizens. 

The governor has put forth a seven-point program that will lead to some of the toughest laws in the country. He has taken aim at assault weapons and multi-round ammunition clips. Part of his plan includes keeping guns away from those who are mentally ill and even taking away guns from those who are mentally unbalanced. The other day a 90-year-old woman was shot and yesterday a two-year-old boy and his father were shot. 

Well enough is enough. There are those in state government and in Congress who are calling for stricter gun regulations but we have a governor who walks the talk. Remember this too: Evil thrives when good people do nothing. So let’s all get behind our governor or more children and our elderly will be shot and killed for no reason. Let me also say, kudos Governor Cuomo for standing up and doing the right thing.
