Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Governor Cuomo’s Cynical Assault on Second Amendment.

 

 

Brooklyn, NY - “There’s a ‘Disaster Emergency’ in New York — and

not the one Andrew Cuomo is fabricating to create a political distraction from

the ongoing crime wave. 

 

“The real disaster is the liberal, pie-in-the-sky criminal justice ‘reforms’ that Mr. Cuomo and his Democrat colleagues have forced on New Yorkers over the past three years. The resulting crime surge is as unconscionable as it was predictable. 

 

“What did Mr. Cuomo think would happen when cash bail, broken

window policing, and stop-and-frisk were all abruptly ended? What did he think when police budgets were slashed? Did he think criminals would go on

vacation? 

 

“Mr. Cuomo’s solution, once again, is to threaten the Second

Amendment rights of law-abiding New Yorkers rather than address the actual

issue of criminal behavior. 

 

“We know how to crack down on crime — two Republican New York City

mayors proved it — but Mr. Cuomo seems more concerned about appearing ‘woke’ than he is about crime victims. How terribly progressive. How terribly

sad.”
