NY Democrat begs Republican to keep gun confiscation proposal from public

Recently, the state of New York passed one of the toughest gun control laws in the country, but according to GOP Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, Democrats wanted to confiscate guns and magazines. Worse yet, one Democrat pleaded with McLaughlin to keep the proposals from the public, the Commentator reported on Sunday.

"Here it is," McLaughlin wrote on his Facebook page. "This is the video where I was asked to keep the Democrat proposals for the NY SAFE Act away from the public. This list was given to me by a colleague and it is not confidential."

"And by the way, I would recommend not to have that list shared because it really has the capacity to dampen the enthusiasm for compromise," a Democratic legislator said on the video.

"Well, it sure does when we talk about confiscation of assault weapons," McLaughlin said in response.

McLaughlin described the list of rejected proposals as "an attack on the 2nd amendment" and said Democrats "clearly wanted to dismantle the work of the Founding Fathers."

"None of these amendments were included in the final bill thanks to us fighting back. I will not stand silent while these unpatriotic proposals are pathetically thrown at us [at] 11 o’clock at night," he added.

McLaughlin posted a list of Democratic proposals that were rejected:

1. Confiscation of "assault weapons."
2. Confiscation of ten round clips.
3. Statewide database for all guns.
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder's information to be replaced to the public.
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than five rounds or pistol grips as "assault weapons.”
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to five and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines.
7. Limit possession to no more than two magazines.
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month.
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners.
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years.
11. State issued pistol permits.
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State.
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers.
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home.
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons.

In late December, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, said that confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens "could be an option."
