Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), who bungled his state\u2019s response to the coronavirus pandemic through the emergency powers he gave himself, has declared another emergency in the Empire State.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo on Tuesday signed an executive order declaring a disaster emergency on gun violence, which he said was the first of its kind in America. The executive order outlined how the state would respond to rising gun violence, without any mention of the root causes. For example, the executive order doesn\u2019t mention anything about mental illness or the fact that New York\u2019s bail reform law has allowed dangerous criminals to return to the streets after being arrested. As The Daily Wire has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/registered-sex-offender-had-60-100-prior-arrests-then-shoved-woman-92-so-her-head-hit-fire-hydrant\">documented<\/a>, some of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-york-democrats-dont-appear-concerned-about-bail-reform-failures\">criminals<\/a> have committed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/another-bail-reform-fail-gang-member-released-from-prison-sent-back-same-day-for-committing-same-crime\">violent<\/a> crimes while out on bail for other violent crimes.<\/p>\n<p>But Cuomo\u2019s executive order includes lofty goals for seven \u201ckey areas\u201d:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Treat gun violence like the emergency public health it is;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Target hotspots with data and science;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Positive engagement for at-risk youth;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Break the cycle of escalating violence;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Get illegal guns off the streets;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Rebuild the police-community relationship<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some of those goals should give pause to those who followed Cuomo\u2019s \u201cleadership\u201d during the coronavirus pandemic, as New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz noted on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGov. Cuomo should never have emergency powers ever again,\u201d Markowicz <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/karol\/status\/1412488032738066435?s=11\">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cAnd \u2018target hotspots with data and science\u2019 is something the Cuomo administration was unable to do even during the actual public health crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Markowicz is correct, as targeting hotspots with data and science during the coronavirus pandemic would have ensured Cuomo\u2019s administration <em>protected<\/em> the elderly and vulnerable, instead of sending COVID-19-infected patients into nursing homes via government mandate. Instead, Cuomo\u2019s decision led to the deaths of more than 16,000 nursing home patients while he and his administration allegedly tried to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-cuomo-aides-edited-report-to-hide-nursing-home-death-toll-ahead-of-book-release-report\">cover up<\/a> their devastating mistake in order to sell his book.<\/p>\n<p>But on Tuesday, Cuomo acted as if he had handled the pandemic just fine and was now prepared to handle what he called \u201canother epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe went from one epidemic to another epidemic. We went from COVID to the epidemic of gun violence. And the fear and the death that goes along with it,\u201d Cuomo said while signing the executive order and two bills relating to gun control. \u201cWhen you look at the recent numbers, more people are dying of gun violence than of COVID \u2026 we\u2019re losing young people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/new-york-gov-cuomo-announce-gun-violence-gun-manufacturers\">reported<\/a>, Cuomo said the executive order would make taxpayer money available for programs aimed at gun violence prevention and that he would be creating an Office of Gun Violence Prevention inside the state\u2019s Department of Health.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo also signed two bills on Tuesday, Fox reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first legislation opens the door for anyone to take legal action against a gun manufacturer using the argument that the product creates a \u2018public nuisance,\u2019 according to the governor\u2019s office. Products made by gun manufacturers can be considered public nuisances \u2018even if the gun manufacturer did not purposely cause harm to the public,\u2019 the press release states,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cThe second legislation prohibits any person who has an outstanding warrant for \u2018a felony or serious offense\u2019 from purchasing a firearm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt perhaps summed up Cuomo\u2019s newest declaration best, calling it \u201cpolitical grandstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDays after finally relinquishing his emergency powers, the governor has declared another emergency,\u201d Ortt said, according to Fox. \u201cThe crisis in cities across our state today directly correlates with the passage of the disastrous bail and other criminal justice \u2018reforms,\u2019 an out-of-control parole board that has released countless murderers and other dangerous criminals, and calls by Democrats to defund our police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Democrats who gave themselves emergency powers during the pandemic have made it clear they don\u2019t want to give up those powers. We\u2019ve seen Democrats like Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot declare racism a \u201cpublic health crisis.\u201d Suddenly, everything is a public health crisis if it gives Democrats more power over people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
