NY Senate approves SAFE Act changes - Democrats opposed this :(
Quote:
The Republican-led state Senate on Monday approved a bill that would make a variety of changes to New York's controversial gun-control law.
The measure faces an uphill fight in the Democratic-led Assembly as Senate Republicans look to reform the SAFE Act, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Democrats championed when it was approved in 2013.
Attachment 2628
Among the changes would include a repeal of a requirement that every purchaser of ammunition undergo a background check. The ammunition database that was part of the SAFE Act has yet to function, and the state allocated $27.7 million in 2013 to implement the law, including the creation of the database.
The bill, introduced late Friday, is sponsored by Sen. James Seward, a central New York Republican whose district includes the major gun manufacturing plant owned by Remington Arms. The bill passed the Senate, 35-26.
"These are commonsense changes, administrative changes to the SAFE Act," Seward said on the Senate floor.

Just because urban "youths" are going hog wild and shooting anyone & everyone, don't try to unlawfully restrict everyone else's 2nd Amendment rights! It's time they dealt with the real problem, instead of blaming an inanimate tool that can do nothing on it's own.
