Andrew Cuomo touted the merits of the SAFE Act. Passed in 2013, the SAFE Act expanded the ban on \u201cassault weapons,\u201d restricted magazines to 10 rounds and criminalized private transfers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as gun laws, I am increasingly proud that New York State passed some of the smartest gun laws in the country, the SAFE Act,&#8221; Cuomo stated at the news gathering.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it is madness the number of assault weapons that we have in this country,\u201d he added. \u201cI think that it endangers law enforcement. I think that it costs us untold numbers of deaths. And I hope that one day we&#8217;ll have a federal policy that actually brings sanity to the gun policy laws in this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Again, the assailant used a rental truck to carry out the attack. Not an \u201cassault weapon\u201d!<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/nyc-gun-permits-may-come-with-surgeon-general-type-warning\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"following-nyc-truck-attack-leadership-talks-gun-control\" title=\"Following NYC Truck Attack Leadership Talks Gun Control\">NYC Gun Permits May Come with Surgeon-General Type Warning<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Cuomo needs to get his facts straight. Data shows that rifles of any make or model are used in approximately<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"following-nyc-truck-attack-leadership-talks-gun-control\" title=\"Following NYC Truck Attack Leadership Talks Gun Control\"> four percen<\/a>t of gun-related homicides. The number isn\u2019t \u201cuntold.\u201d It\u2019s just not as much as Cuomo would like us to believe.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, rifles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/195325\/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"following-nyc-truck-attack-leadership-talks-gun-control\" title=\"Following NYC Truck Attack Leadership Talks Gun Control\">were used in the murder of 374 victims<\/a>. Again, this is all rifles. Not just those dreaded \u201cassault weapons.\u201d Knives or cutting instruments, by comparison, were used to kill 1,604 victims.<\/p>\n<p>The number of rifles used may be a bit higher because there is a category of \u201cother weapons or weapons not stated.\u201d But assuming that that category contains some rifles, it\u2019s highly doubtful that they make up the majority.<\/p>\n<p>All that to say black rifles aren\u2019t the threat that Cuomo claims they are. Guns, in general, aren\u2019t a scourge to society. But saying so makes for a good headline. Especially when the cameras are rolling and a grieving city is desperate to stop lone wolf attacks that are, by their very nature, almost impossible to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Really, a well-armed and well-trained citizenry is the best way to stop spree killers.\u00a0 The exact opposite of the culture that de Blasio and Cuomo have created in NYC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a truck attack in New York City on Tuesday that left at least eight people dead, both the mayor and the governor started squawking about gun control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":81814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,469,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-81813","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-gun-control","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Following NYC Truck Attack Leadership Talks Gun Control<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Following a truck attack in New York City on Tuesday, both the mayor and the governor started squawking about gun control.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/following-nyc-truck-attack-leadership-talks-gun-control\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Following NYC Truck Attack Leadership Talks Gun Control\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Following a truck attack in New York City on Tuesday that left at least eight people dead, both the mayor and the governor started squawking about gun control.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/following-nyc-truck-attack-leadership-talks-gun-control\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-11-02T16:27:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-21T11:11:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-02-at-10.22.00-AM.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"719\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"475\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
