Quoted: Perhaps. Mario Cuomo tried unsuccessfully year after year to pass stric gun control laws. They were blocked in the NY Senate before reaching his desk.
I think Bruno supported the AW ban at the end because Pacrappi wanted it.

It was rumored that Mario Pataki forced Bruno to support the AWB in a back room deal with the Democrats. Don't forget it wasn't just the AWB but the comprehensive Pataki antigun package that also included the COBis nonsense. To date COBis has cost the taxpayers of NY approximately 19 million dollars and has not resulted in identifying one gun used in a crime.

Because Georgie Boy wanted to look tough on crime to look better as a possible Veep running mate for Bush. Now hes out in the midwest hopping from one event to another trying to make himself a candidate for the next Prez election. I say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

If f**ckhead Pataki runs for president he will get squashed, no way he is Presidential material. As for the republicans supporting the New York AWB, it was 100% a political move. All the idiot republicans knew it would boost their popularity with the left and save them from any repurcussions for not suporting it.
To the people on the right, they would simply say "its only a copy of the federal ban, doesnt affect anything, and not going to make any difference". This is exacly the comment I had received from two state senators and 1 rep at a local legislators night at the Peconic River Sportsmans Club. I remember a bunch of idiots standing around me agreeing with them, and supporting them!
At the time I didnt think of the lack of the sunset provision, but I did make a point that it was a rediculous law. Now how many morons who thought this law did nothing now think the opposite? I remember thinking "allowing this law will only pave the way for more stringent gun laws". Well, take a look at the new NY assault weapons bill, granted it wont get passed, it will probably get killed. But I can guarantee you it will be back, and will probably get passed.
