JOHNSTOWN, N.Y. -- The
push-back against the state's tough new gun control law continues Monday.
This time, a state
assemblyman is going to his constituents saying their second amendment rights
are being violated.
A huge crowd of gun owners
is gathering inside the hall at the Pine Tree Rifle Club, and more are expected.
Assemblyman Marc Butler
who is hosting the meeting says since the NY SAFE Act passed he's gotten calls,
letters email from gun owners who are confused about what the law means for
them.
Butler, along with the
state Rifle and Pistol Association president, will try to clear up some of the
confusion.
Their goal is the prevent
gun owners from accidental noncompliance.
Butler also feels that
Gov. Cuomo rushed this bill after emotions were high about Sandy Hook and he
feels the way the law defines an assault rifle isn't very accurate.
He also says it threatens
economic stability in his communities especially in Herkimer County where Remington
Arms is based.
He will be seeking input
and support for repealing the law.
