Ulster County, NY has drafted a resolution, stating that they will not enforce the NYS SAFE Act; an e-mail was sent out to club members with this resolution
Rich
Othmer, Chairman of our Putnam County Legislature, sponsored and passed
a resolution last Wednesday night which was sent to Albany opposing the
new gun law. Rich stated that he opposed it for 2nd Amendment reasons;
it also brings with it several UN-funded mandates from our State
Government. He also stated that the new law will financially affect the
NYS county government budgets since Putnam County is the administrating
agency. At this time, there is no need for individual towns to do the
same. Rich Othmer has been working on this with the DA, Putnam County
Executive, Clerk & Attorney and club member, Rob Firriolo, has also
been guiding our county officials for the past several weeks. Rich Othmer's letter was also sent out in an e-mail.
Several
club members attended the Gun Rights Rally Day in Albany on February 12th; the
estimated number of gun rights advocates ranged from "several hundred"
to approximately two thousand.
Going
forward, the law-abiding gun community has to do better than this and
the next opportunity to make ourselves heard will be on.... Thursday, February 28th, “Unite for Our Rights Day” in Albany.
Club members are asked to make every effort and attend this
event; support each other, support the cause, support the efforts of
those who are challenging Cuomo's gun laws on our behalf!
