"To basically eradicate assault weapons from our streets in New York as quickly as possible is something the people of this state want." SHELDON SILVER, speaker of the State Assembly, on a new package of gun restrictions. New York TImes
I'm sure you may believe that Mr. Speaker, but what makes you think you have the power to actually accomplish it?
You made drugs illegal, look how well that plan worked. Drugs kill tens of thousands more in New York state than assault weapons. All your laws and high ideals are not the answer, prepare to fail...again!
Thank goodness your constituents think you're doing the right thing. It's all about public perception and media attention. Your laws only keep honest people honest, they will not stop those who would choose to ignore them...
Impose your will quickly, don't let a good crisis go to waste. Lord knows public opinion will change soon, its called thinking twice...
