Gov. Andrew Cuomo is saying �thank you� to the state lawmakers who backed his sweeping gun control law in letter that�s being sent to members today. The letter comes as gun control advocacy groups and some Republican lawmakers who voted no blast the law, which tightens the state�s assault weapons ban, limits the number of rounds in a high capacity magazine and tightens criminal penalties for illegal weapons. And the governor, who has a consistently high approval rating, acknowledges that backing the law can come at a cost. |

"The only way that we're going to be able to do everything that needs to be done is with the cooperation of Congress," he said at the start of a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and law enforcement officials from the Major Cities Chiefs Association and the Major County Sheriffs Association.
"That means passing serious laws that restrict the access and availability of assault weapons and magazine clips that aren't necessary for hunters and sportsmen, those responsible gun owners who are out there. It means that we are serious about universal background checks, it means that we take seriously issues of mental health and school safety," he said. |

The Department of Homeland Security does not call an M-4 a military weapon . . . Now if a full auto carbine is just a self defense weapon, how the heck do you classify a semi-automatic AR-15? Perhaps a tin can plinker or a youth rifle? Yeah, it's that good people. |

Police have arrested a Colerain man after he posted a photo of himself on Facebook holding his 1-year-old daughter and a BB gun.
Domonic Gaines, 22, was arrested after the incident which occurred at his home on Suliner Drive Sunday.
The photo depicted Gaines holding his daughter, Paradise Gaines, along with the BB gun. Police say that the close proximity of the gun to the child created a substantial risk of physical harm.
Dykes claims that it was the baby's maternal mother who saw the photo and called the police.
Gaines was arranged on Monday morning on Child Endangerment charges. He's being held without bond in the Hamilton County Jail. |

The Herkimer County factory that now makes the assault rifle used in the Newtown massacre received $5.5 million from the state. Have a problem with that? I suspect that many of you do. We're still just six weeks removed from the Sandy Hook mayhem, so it's understandable if you feel revulsion at taxpayer money boosting Remington Arms Co. or any other weapons maker. |

The battle over the right to bear arms is flaring in Vermont, where a local gun range has moved to prohibit the Burlington Police Department from training at its facilities after the City Council voted to advance a measure banning semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines.
The leadership of the Lamoille Valley Fish and Game Club explained that it's "difficult" for the club to support the city -- even its officers -- given the actions of the council. ...
"It is a constitutional issue. I mean, it's not just a Second Amendment constitutional issue; but it's also a constitutional issue for Vermont. We have laws that have the state governing our gun controls in this area and they're looking to supersede those," he said. |

President Obama said that he and his guests go skeet shooting at Camp David �all the time� and that gun control advocates need �to do a little more listening� to understand why so many Americans are wary of government limits on firearms.
�Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time,� he told The New Republic in the interview, conducted Jan. 16, just after he unveiled his gun proposals.
Asked about his family, he said, �Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there. And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations. And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake.� |

Threatened by long-term declining participation in shooting sports, the firearms industry has poured millions of dollars into a broad campaign to ensure its future by getting guns into the hands of more, and younger, children.
The industry�s strategies include giving firearms, ammunition and cash to youth groups; weakening state restrictions on hunting by young children; marketing an affordable military-style rifle for �junior shooters� and sponsoring semiautomatic-handgun competitions for youths; and developing a target-shooting video game that promotes brand-name weapons, with links to the Web sites of their makers. |
