Parts of NY SAFE Act Repealed
From Buffalo News:
The Cuomo administration’s director of state operations, James Malatras, has signed a memorandum of understanding with State Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan to undo certain aspects of the New York SAFE Act gun control law, though the major changes affect provisions of the law that were never implemented and that pertain to ammunition sales.
Curiously, the memorandum of agreement does not contain the governor’s name, nor that of Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. But State Senate Republicans said the effect of the memorandum signed by the State Senate and the Cuomo administration effectively blocks implementation of a couple of SAFE Act provisions.

From The Washington Free Beacon:
Three counties—Fulton, Albany, and Schenectady— were chosen in January to take part in the pilot program for pistol permit renewals. Five hundred “invitations,†as the state government dubbed them, are being sent to residents in each of the counties.
“I’m asking everybody who gets these invitations to throw them into the garbage—that’s where they belong,â€Â Fulton County Sheriff Thomas Lorey said at a meeting with Second Amendment supporters.
Insomnia Reason Enough to Take Your Guns in NY
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 8/Jan/2015 07:00
From American Thinker:
Although the Cold War ended over two decades ago, a lawsuit filed December 17 in U.S. District Court in Rochester, NY alleges that such heavy-handed police-state tactics are presently being employed in Andrew Cuomo’s New York.  The suit, filed by attorney Paloma Capanna on behalf of plaintiff Donald Montgomery, alleges that the New York State Police ordered the permanent confiscation of Mr. Montgomery’s registered handguns after he sought treatment for insomnia.  The confiscation was ordered under Cuomo’s “SAFE Act†gun-control law.
New Yorkers Burn Gun Registration Forms
From The Times Union:
And if you were with the NY2A at their Sunday afternoon forum here at a city Elks lodge, you could have used a small charcoal grill to set ablaze a blank assault weapons registration form in protest. Wayne Denn used one to light a cigar.
“Tastes even better,” said Denn between tokes on a La Gloria Cubana, an ersatz Cuban cigar.
Judge Throws Out SAFE Act Violation on 4th Amendment Grounds
From Buffalo News:
“In observing the magazine, I did notice there were at least 10 rounds in the magazine,†Barrancotta testified. He then emptied the magazine.
“I did count rounds just to confirm our reasonable suspicion that there were more than 10,†Piedmont said.
Tresmond said, “Once the magazine is removed from the firearm, the firearm cannot fire. At that point in time, the search of the firearm should have ceased. But the officers went further. … It was a search without a warrant.â€
The More Laws They Pass The More People Will Innovate Around Them
From Times Union on the New York SAFE Act:
“It’s basically an AR-15 without the features,” said James Tresmond, a western New York lawyer representing H&H Firearms, a Lackawanna gun shop that’s seeking to sell such a rifle.”
Thanks to modifications by a Texas-based machine shop, the stripped-down rifle has an adapter that connects the spot where the grip would go to the stock, or portion of the rifle that the shooter braces against her shoulder.
NRA Membership in New York Almost Doubles
From The Buffalo News:
Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, said the NRA headquarters in Washington recently informed him his state affiliate has now surpassed Texas and California to become the largest state NRA chapter in the nation.
New York: “Turn in your guns.”
From The Washington Times:
New York City authorities have been sending out notices to residents who own guns that now violate new ammunition capability laws, demanding they relinquish their weapons — and even though the notifications may just be standard police procedure, the text is a shocker.
But no one wants to take your guns away, right?
ATI Relocating to South Carolina
From Guns.com:
This is the third company to relocate to South Carolina this year in the wake of calls for increased gun control nation-wide. While federal laws remain largely unaltered, gun control advocates were able to push for new laws in several states including New York, which passed the controversial SAFE Act.
“This move to South Carolina will help ensure a solid foundation for our company,†said Tony DiChario, ATI’s president. “The relocation process will be smooth and we have ensured that the process will not affect customer service, product distribution or any other segment of our business. The people of South Carolina have welcomed ATI with open arms and we are excited about making our new corporate home there.â€
Remington, Khar and ATI Bail on New York
All three gun companies are in the process of leaving New York state because of the “SAFE Act” and taking their tax dollars with them.
The Washington Free Beacon has the story:
“It is a law forced on rural New Yorkers by a liberal elite who opposes the principles of the U.S. Constitution,†Hempel said by email. “The majority of the state wants a hands-off, non-intrusive government, which does not interfere with their right to bear arms or crush business with harmful regulation.â€
NY SAFE Act Side Effect
Rod and gun clubs in New York state have seen a spike in memberships mostly involving women.
From Syracuse.com:
Bill Parfitt, president of the Camillus Sportsmen’s Club, said his club has maxed out at 800 members, and has a waiting list of more than 100.
“We could have 2,000 members if we wanted,” he said. “We took 10 new applications just last weekend.”
Protesters March Against NY SAFE Act
Newsday.com reports on the protest:
The protesters were encouraged to register to vote, join a political party and get active in political committees. Organizers said the goal is to repeal the law or else in 2014 make its supporters face consequences at the polls. At one table, they handed out voter registration forms and encouraged demonstrators to take them home to family and friends who feel the same way.
