From The Inquistor:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo isn’t making any friends among gun rights advocates. In a speech that will likely enrage many legal gun owners, Cuomo suggested Friday afternoon that the state should consider all gun control options including “confiscation” of “assault” weapons or “mandatory sales to the state” and “permitting.”
Cuomo told Albany’s WGDJ-AM that while gun control hasn’t been on his mind for a while, the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut has made the issue more relevant than ever. He explicitly stated that he would like to look at an assault weapons and high-capacity magazines ban. Thus far, Cuomo said, New York’s laws regarding guns have “more holes than Swiss cheese.”
Echoing other gun control advocates in recent days, Cuomo said: “I don’t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, ‘I need an assault weapon to go hunting.’ ”
“I understand the rights of gun owners; I understand the rights of hunters,” Cuomo added.
Still, the governor seems willing to pursue what some may consider drastic courses of action to keep assault weapons out of the hands of New Yorkers. “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it,” he said.

Kind of reminds you of Nazi Germany, where one of the first thing Hitler did was confiscate guns of law abiding citizens.
