We already know NYS State Legislator Felix Ortiz is a nitwit. He tried to introduce a salt restriction law on New York City restaurants two years ago and even Mayor Michael “No-Super-Size-Sugary-Drinks” Bloomberg said it was “ridiculous.”
Now he’s proposing a law demanding expensive insurance policies for anyone who wants to own a gun. Say what? That’s right, if Felix gets his way, a person who wants to buy a gun in New York would also need to purchase a one million dollar insurance policy. How crazy is that?
Since the tragedies at Columbine, Aurora, and Sandy Hook were all caused by legal, registered guns – taken from their owners by family members – who exactly would be suing whom?
Why would Ortiz introduce this silly bill knowing it has no chance of passing? He’s simply trying to cash in on the anti-gun hysteria and since Brooklyn voters don’t hunt much, it won’t hurt him. Also, after being shaken out of the no-salt limelight, Felix needs something new to get on TV. I also wouldn’t be surprised if large insurance companies were shoveling cash into his re-election campaign.
Hey Felix, go pound salt (again.)
