Hochul touts “red flag” gun seizures as polls show crime top concern for New Yorkers [More]

Red flag laws are always sold as a way for Mommy to get Crazy Uncle Vern the treatment he needs.

Now Hochul wants to add doctors and teachers, and next year, probably postal workers, social workers, and tax agents.
American voters are such damn suckers.
