He is a popular commentator with a very active imagination and a worshipping audience. They pay him very well to keep is audience buying the advertisers’ products and feeding their own fear.
FWIW – Anyone that has ever lived in NYC realizes that it is the insane asylum.
The article Jones links to has nothing to do with putting gun owners into mental hospitals, but Jones some how read something into the article that doesn't exist. He's not just mentally ill, he is nuttier than squirrel poop. Along with his readers.

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and lawmakers agreed on Monday to a broad package of changes to gun laws that would expand the state’s ban on assault weapons and would include new measures to keep guns away from the mentally ill.

[sarcasm]How outrageous, keeping guns away from the mentally ill. [/sarcasm]
"The most significant new proposal would require mental health professionals to report to local mental health officials when they believe that patients are likely to harm themselves or others. Law enforcement would then be authorized to confiscate any firearm owned by a dangerous patient; therapists would not be sanctioned for a failure to report such patients if they acted “in good faith.”
Sounds good until you think about how much this little tidbit could be abused. All New Yorkers who have done nothing wrong can lose their 2nd amendment rights simple because someone says they might be dangerous.
Also from the article:
"The legislative package, which Mr. Cuomo said he believed would be “the most comprehensive package in the nation,” would ban any gun magazine that can hold over 7 rounds of ammunition — the current limit is 10 rounds. It would also require background checks of ammunition buyers and automated alerts to law enforcement of high-volume purchases."
I also read, but it is not listed in this article that anyone who already has a plus 7 magazine will have a year to sell it to someone out of state. So with this new law, something that someone had already legally purchased is now forced to sell that item or face legal charges.
While I understand there is a need to address this issue, making lawful citizens into criminals is not the answer.
