Gun violence signs

[gunpoliticsny]

New bill A-8149, Provides for the posting of firearm signage in certain areas:

“… IN AREAS IN WHICH THE RATE OF GUN VIOLENCE IS ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, THE DIVISION SHALL NOTIFY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY SERVING SUCH AREA TO POST SIGNAGE IN THE FORM PRESCRIBED BY THE DIVISION …”

I have read so much stupid legislative shit over the years, but this is right near the top.

So NYC and Syracuse will post signs and the rest of the state will be sign free

Have you seen the amount of Poughkeepsie articles @GOYABEAN posts? I mean its reaching Chicago levels

Here's your sign.

 

[Jmac00]

the bill doesnt say what the sign should say???

 

[gunpoliticsny]

No.

Nothing but fear mongering, and trying to alienate/ostrasize gun owners! fUAC!

 

[1075tech]

Don't most of those areas already have signs? Like "Gun Free Zone" or "No Guns Allowed"

 

[Steal2B]

FUAC already identified the few inner city areas responsible for one half of the State's gun violence. So instead of separating the 4000 midunderstood youts between 18 and 24 (who FUAC claims are creating this gun violence) from civil society, let's just hang a sign.

Wait what? We ignore laws on murder but a sign, we will listen to a sign? Got it. Makes sense.

 

[Dr. Evil]

An oldie but a goodie.

In other news, Bill Engvall is suing Cuomo for copyright violations.

 

[S&W Fan]

There’s some hanging that needs to go on alright and it isn’t some dumb assed fucking sign either.

Just like the state to ignore problems and just put up a sign. Don't fix the damn potholes in the road- throw up a "rough road" sign on the nearest pole and call it's day.

LOL, they will never, ever do this. Imagine having that sign in front of your house when you're trying to sell it. Plus the people in those communities will complain. At most a vague sign on the highway, but no way you leave the suburbs and then just as entering city limits (where 99% of this occurs), there are signs warning you.

 

[Modean]

What exactly would be the purpose of the signs? It’s the people that live there that are the problem, not anyone coming from the outside. It’s not like we all don’t know where the bad parts of town are.

 

[Catskillkid]

LOL, I can see it now. Driving downtown in any shithole in this state you see a big ass sign that says "Warning: Extreme Gun Violence Zone. Bulletproof vests required."

 

[tirwin1]

This is what governments do when they know they have no real solution to the problem.

 

[Catskillkid]

So a thought just came to mind. Is NYS now going to be labeling certain neighborhoods/communities as "No-Go Zones"? I thought those didn't exist?

To add I chuckled at this and my wife said what? I told her and she said they won’t do it because the signs will be in minority areas and it will be labeled as racist.

Definitely.

Rochester is proposing a 60 day VIPER whatever that means task force to cut gun violence:

In-Depth: New federal task force aims to reduce gun violence in Rochester with 60-day surge

The press conference took place at the corner of Clarissa and Garden streets, where a 31-year-old mother was shot and killed in her car in front of her young children in June.

This will have a very minimal impact on gun violence.

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

Maybe add # of shootings with illegal guns at each highway exit.
Newburgh exit 36B + 93 shootings YTD - next right
Next safe exit 29 miles.

 

[fresch]

How about we put up electronic billboards saying NY tough with shooting stats all over and run it 24/7 on the news, radio, all media, that would help.
Then send people door to door, not to take but to inform!
