Andrew Cuomo (D) has taken aim at the Second Amendment. On Tuesday, Cuomo issued a first-in-the-nation Executive Order, which declared gun violence a disaster emergency in the Empire State.<\/p>\n<p>The order will give law enforcement the authority to track where shootings take place and where illegal guns are sold. The governor also shared his plans to sign a measure into law, which would prohibit the purchasing of firearms for any individual with an active warrant.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today I am issuing an Executive Order declaring a Disaster Emergency on gun violence.<\/p>\n<p>Gun violence is a public health crisis, and we must treat it like one.<\/p>\n<p>This declaration will allow us to give this crisis the full attention &amp; resources it deserves.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYGovCuomo\/status\/1412480258536837124?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cuomo went on to claim New York has maintained some of the most restrictive gun control policies, despite the state\u2019s recent uptick in gun violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do you need an assault weapon to hunt a deer? Why?\u201d he questioned. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you do a background check, why don\u2019t you close the loopholes? New York did it. We have those laws in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several reports have shown shootings have risen to more than double in New York City alone since 2019. Critics attribute the crime wave to anti-police sentiment expressed by Democrat lawmakers, with their goal of defunding the police.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/top-u-s-officials-meet-with-saudi-prince-khalid-bin-salman\/\">Top U.S. Officials Meet With Saudi Prince Khalid Bin Salman<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N.Y.
