(<em>Photo: Facebook<\/em>)<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed gun-control legislation this Wednesday aimed at improving school safety. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One bill (S.101A\/A.1715) bans \u201cany person who is not primarily employed as a school resource officer, law enforcement officer or security guard\u201d from carrying guns on school grounds and the other (S.2449\/A.2685) creates standards and best practices for gun \u201cbuyback\u201d programs across the state. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The answer to the gun violence epidemic plaguing this country has never been and never will be more guns, and today we&#8217;re expanding New York&#8217;s nation-leading gun safety laws to further protect our children,\u201d said Cuomo in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/governor-cuomo-signs-legislation-preventing-school-districts-arming-teachers-and-establishing\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cuomo-school-shooting-gun-buybacks-ban-teachers-from-carrying\" title=\"Cuomo\u2019s Legislative Answer to School Shootings: Standardized Gun Buybacks, Ban Teachers from Carrying\">statement<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese measures will help slow the proliferation of guns by keeping unneeded firearms out of school zones and helping to ensure unwanted or illegal guns don&#8217;t fall into dangerous hands,\u201d the governor, a Democrat, continued.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arming Teachers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Assembly Member Judy Griffin, who introduced the bill banning teachers, staffers, and administrators from carrying in schools, thanked Cuomo. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Arming teachers with guns can only lead to additional tragedies,\u201d explained Griffin. \u201cI was proud to introduce this legislation in the New York State Assembly and I thank Governor Cuomo for signing it into law so that the children of New York State will be able to learn in a safe environment without the threat of unintended consequences from a gun in their classroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right, arming school personnel \u201ccan only lead to additional tragedies\u2026\u201d except for that time that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/full-stop\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cuomo-school-shooting-gun-buybacks-ban-teachers-from-carrying\" title=\"Cuomo\u2019s Legislative Answer to School Shootings: Standardized Gun Buybacks, Ban Teachers from Carrying\">armed principal in Pearl, Mississippi,<\/a> detained a campus gunman who stabbed his mother to death and murdered two students with a rifle.\u00a0 One can argue that \u201cadditional tragedies\u201d weren\u2019t created but avoided in that scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/armed-teachers-unique-advantages\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cuomo-school-shooting-gun-buybacks-ban-teachers-from-carrying\" title=\"Cuomo\u2019s Legislative Answer to School Shootings: Standardized Gun Buybacks, Ban Teachers from Carrying\">Exclusive: When Seconds Count, Armed Teachers Offer Unique Advantages Over Resource Officers<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Look, arming teachers is a controversial response to school safety.&nbsp; But the decision to do so should be left up to the school districts \u2014 not the state.&nbsp; Not every school can afford SROs, security guards and cops to patrol the campus full-time.&nbsp; What does Cuomo say to these economically disadvantaged districts? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fundamentally, if everyone agrees that armed responders should be at schools to protect children does it really matter if they wear a badge or a pocket protector so long as they are sufficiently trained? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opponents of armed teachers get too caught up in traditional labels and roles and forget that not all teachers have the same personal history, interests, and skills. Some may be military veterans, some may be 3-Gunners, some may be hunters and outdoorsmen (and women).\u00a0 If given the opportunity, some may be more than willing to train to become a school\u2019s armed responder.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the problem with that approach?\u00a0 Again, especially if we all agree that some form of armed resistance is better than no armed resistance at all.\u00a0 What seems obvious to everyone but Cuomo and his fellow Dems is that limiting a school\u2019s options as to how it can harden its campus against armed psychos doesn\u2019t make a school safer.\u00a0 It makes it more vulnerable to tragedy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gun &#8220;Buybacks&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGun buyback programs work. Providing people with a no-questions-asked opportunity to turn their guns in has helped dramatically reduce the number of legal and illegal guns on our streets, making our communities and our schools safer,\u201d said Assembly Member Linda B. Rosenthal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNew York already has the strongest gun laws on the books, and standardizing gun buyback programs statewide will help ensure that each county is implementing proven methods to get the most guns off our streets,\u201d she added. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosenthal is lying.\u00a0 Gun \u201cbuybacks\u201d are a joke (Government never owned those guns so \u201cbuyback\u201d is a misnomer).\u00a0 They really <em>don\u2019t<\/em> work.\u00a0 At these events, a bunch of people show up to turn in junk guns \u2014 that more often than not don\u2019t work and, therefore, have little value \u2014 for free gas cards or small monetary stipends.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t \u201csaving lives,\u201d it\u2019s wasting taxpayer dollars! \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/waiting-period-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cuomo-school-shooting-gun-buybacks-ban-teachers-from-carrying\" title=\"Cuomo\u2019s Legislative Answer to School Shootings: Standardized Gun Buybacks, Ban Teachers from Carrying\">Exclusive: Not Worth the Wait. The Inconclusive, Contradictory Research on Waiting Period Laws<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNY Buffalo State associate professor Scott W. Phillips actually did the research into buybacks. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoes it work? No,\u201d Phillips told <a href=\"https:\/\/buffalonews.com\/2017\/09\/20\/gun-buybacks-buffalo-new-york-niagara-falls-attorney-general\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cuomo-school-shooting-gun-buybacks-ban-teachers-from-carrying\" title=\"Cuomo\u2019s Legislative Answer to School Shootings: Standardized Gun Buybacks, Ban Teachers from Carrying\">The Buffalo News in 2017<\/a>. The professor looked at city crime data in relation to five gun buybacks held between 2007 and 2012 and found no evidence \u2014 zero evidence \u2014 that they reduce crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShould they keep doing it? I wouldn\u2019t bother wasting their time,\u201d he said, noting that there is no academic research that indicates buybacks curb suicides or accidental shootings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s fascinating is that Assemblywoman Rosenthal claims that buybacks \u201cdramatically\u201d reduce the number of guns on our streets.\u00a0 Again, there is zero evidence that this is true.\u00a0 In fact, as Phillips explained, the majority of the guns sold are rarely the types used in crimes, i.e. long guns, and, as mentioned, many of them no longer function. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Fun Continues&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuomo also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/ny-gov-cuomo-signs-bills-to-extend-waits-ban-already-banned-bump-stocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cuomo-school-shooting-gun-buybacks-ban-teachers-from-carrying\" title=\"Cuomo\u2019s Legislative Answer to School Shootings: Standardized Gun Buybacks, Ban Teachers from Carrying\">signed bills this week<\/a> that ban 3-D printed firearms and bump stocks, increase waiting periods from three to 30 days and force gun owners to secure all firearms in a residence if anyone under the age of 16 has the potential to access them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGovernor Cuomo\u2019s answer to failed restrictive gun laws are more new gun laws that prevent people from being able to protect themselves, their family and property from violent criminals,&#8221; said Alan Gottlieb,\u00a0founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cuomo-school-shooting-gun-buybacks-ban-teachers-from-carrying\" title=\"Cuomo\u2019s Legislative Answer to School Shootings: Standardized Gun Buybacks, Ban Teachers from Carrying\">Second Amendment Foundation,<\/a> in an email to GunsAmerica.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe real danger to people in New York is his appointment of his cronies to parol boards that let violent offenders out of prison early,&#8221; Gottlieb continued.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause of Cuomo backed anti-gun rights policies in New York people are moving in droves to less gun restrictive states like South Carolina, Florida and Texas where they can have the means to self-defense,&#8221; he concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gotta love New York!\u00a0 Right?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
