At an event marking the implementation of new gun safety laws, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) made it clear how she feels about firearms.
“We don’t need guns on our streets. We don’t need people carrying guns in our subways. We don’t need people carrying guns in our schools. We don’t need people carrying in our places of worship. We don’t need them carrying them into bars or restaurants. Because that only makes people less safe,” Hochul said.
Hochul then said the proof is that New York is currently the fifth-lowest in the nation when it comes to the rate of firearm-related deaths, according to CDC data.

“And all of the criminals will comply! All the Liberals have done is take away the chance that a good guy with a gun will be there to limit the damage.”

“You’ve lost control of New York. People are getting robbed, carjacked, stabbed, & beaten in broad daylight. Criminals no longer fear punishment because they know democrat district attorneys will have them back on the streets within hours,” Scott Presler responded.
