ALBANY — State lawmakers are trying to carve out a loophole for retired cops in the sweeping state gun control law that Gov. Cuomo has touted as the toughest in the nation.

A bill approved by the state Assembly Thursday would allow retired police officers to keep assault weapons and high-capacity magazines they purchased during their time on the force.

“They are going to have what they retired with, what they trained on,” said Assemblyman Joe Lentol (D-Brooklyn), who sponsored the bill.

Lentol said the bill — which was approved by a 96-15 vote — simply corrects an “oversight” in Cuomo’s original gun law that failed to account for retired cops and federal law enforcement officers, who, despite no longer serving, often take action during a crisis.

The thread title is right, NY is definitely a hierarchical state and the public unions (this would include cops) rest just below those at the top, their political bosses. The welfare masses occupy the middle, and the employed rest at the bottom with everyone else standing firmly on their neck.

This is the top throwing their dogs a bone. Expect no such morsels for the idiots at the bottom that pay for everyone above them.
