Mid-afternoon on Halloween Day, a radical Islamic terrorist drove a rented truck onto a bike path in the shadow of the World Trade Center. This radical Islamic terrorist intentionally drove the rented truck into people on the bike path in the shadow of the World Trade Center before intentionally t-boning a school bus full of children. The radical Islamic terrorist then jumped out of the rented truck carrying a pellet gun and a paintball gun. He was stopped by a bullet to the thigh from the gun of a New York City policeman.

Eight lives were lost and eleven people were injured in the truck attack by the radical Islamic terrorist. The paintball and pellet gun were recovered from the scene along with a knife and handwritten notes explaining the radical Islamic terrorist’s deadly intentions and loyalty to ISIS.

Given the above set of facts, the rational person would call for an end to lottery diversity immigration, extremely strict vetting of applying immigrants, a slowdown of immigration of followers of the Islamic religion pending a study of the cultural effects, or better spying on what videos immigrants are watching.

You would be rational. That’s why you are not Governor of the state of New York or Mayor of New York City. Given the above facts, Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York State, and Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City have called for stronger gun control. Oh, yes. Yes, they did. Close your mouth.

Watch this brief snippet from their press conference yesterday:

It’s madness, madness, I tell you.

Andrew Cuomo isn’t politicizing anything as he uses the death and destruction in lower Manhattan to call for control of assault weapons.

Lifezette reported, deBlasio’s remarks:

“There’s a much bigger conversation we could have about gun safety,” he said. “The NYPD has always vigorously believed that we need to keep guns out of this city and that gun safety laws are here to protect us and protect our officers.”

A guy with a truck who kills people:

Means that these need to be banned:

The rational mind reels at the leaps of logic required to bridge the canyon like gap. The dead aren’t buried yet and the crime scene is still active. These two ideological nimrods are calling for gun control after a truck attack.

Hey Andrew. Hey Bill. Let’s just say open carry was legal in New York. All of New York. How many lives might have been saved if one armed citizen had delivered a strong message between the eyes of the radical Islamic terrorist. Or even a strong center mass message. You two want an unarmed, weak and sheeplike citizenry. The tides are changing boys.
