There HAS been a lot of push back from gun owners in NY, but the media can’t be bothered to report on it because it doesn’t fit their narrative. On 2/28 (a bitterly cold, rainy Thursday), between 12,000 & 15,000 people gathered in Albany to protest the unSAFE Act. You probably didn’t hear a word about it (or, if you did, it was complaints by NYS about the grass that was trampled by the protestors & how much that would cost the taxpayers to replant.)
Resolutions against the unSAFE Act have been passed in almost all counties in the state & numerous local sheriff’s offices have spoken out against it. Again, the silence in the media has been deafening. Here’s a link to the resolutions against the act (and the handful that support it): http://www.nysaferesolutions.com/
A number of lawsuits have been filed, but who knows how long those will take. One has already been thrown out (although that one was the flimsiest of the lot).
I attended 2 Albany protests (including the one on 2/28, taking time off work to do so). But I’m done - I moved to Georgia at the beginning of June & I’ll never live in NY again. My only regret is that it took me so long to make the move.
(I just remembered - I still need to get my FR screen name changed because I’m no longer TrappedinNY:-)
