Ask a typical New York Liberal: What about Sodomy laws? Hmmmm? Suddenly the fact that unconstitutional law is not law takes on a new meaning.

Yes..enforce it...go for it...lets see how many state troopers it takes to collect 950,000 scary black guns from the fed-up subjects of the nanny state. I have a feeling the arrogant little dictator would have a hard time winning another election...if he survived at all.

No. Cause "I'm a Yankee doodle dandy" and that person currently in office is not. Especially right now while we are living with escapees living in our backyards.

Yes, Full repeal! It is unconstitutional!
Ralph - 9 years ago
Repeal it !!

Repeal SAFE. Background checks are already being done in NY. SAFE is another wasteful govt program meant to take away rights and divert more tax $$$ to an already bloated state budget.

One thing the news reporters and gun control advocates almost universally fail to mention about the SAFE Act is that registered firearms are not transferrable after the death of the registrant, and must be sold out of state or turned into law-enforcement for destruction. So, a surviving spouse or child of the owner who registers a firearm cannot keep it when the owner dies.
This shows the real aim was not to keep track of the guns, but to ensure their ultimate destruction or elimination from the state. Much of the disregard for the registration requirement was doubtless due to this draconian overreach by Cuomo and the legislature.

Like what? Ramming down doors, rummaging through closets, and cracking open gun safes in the middle of the night? Bad laws are unenforceable, and this is a bad law.

Ideally, the laws of the land should align with what social order requires, no more and no less. This law is about as pure an example you can get of a "police state", nearly completely unpopular with the citizens it has been forced upon and without due process or even a hint of representation of the common desires and wishes of the constituents our lawmakers (or our dictator in Albany?) ought to be considering.
Not only should this law be repealed, but Cuomo should be impeached.
NY is just too liberal for this however and won't wake up until it's way too late. By the way, I am not a "gun person" - but regardless of that this situation disgusts me.
Repeal the SAFE ACT - 9 years ago
“The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.”-Abraham Lincoln
The SAFE ACT was forced upon New Yorkers by an ambitious dominating governor and two leading politicians who are now under federal indictment. It was passed at night without debate, without public input, and without reading it. These are tactics of desperate people. Our representatives should start representing the people they serve rather than ruling the people and serving special interests. Don't tell me about common sense gun control laws. Common sense tells me that people who act rashly in the cover of darkness are up to no good.
New York City should stop telling the rest of New York what to do. What the people want in the City is not necessarily what the people in Cayuga want.
How did the SAFE ACT protect someone with 23 prior criminals cases stop someone from slashing a woman yesterday in Bryant Park? It didn't. Why is someone with 23 criminal convictions free to walk among peaceful citizens? Why would the government want to restrict self-defense when it lets violent criminals walk among the sheep?
What we need are special prosecutors and investigators with a big budget to weed out corrupt politicians.
Why didn't the SAFE ACT include gun safety education in public schools? A safety program in elementary school might actually save the lives of children. It's common sense. The SAFE ACT was not about safety, that's why.
Chances are your local police department was trained by certified National Rifle Association instructors. The NRA has done more for gun safety and saved more lives than the SAFE ACT.
Let's use limited police resources to stake out gun clubs and gun shops. Then kick down the doors of peaceful citizens in the dark of night and make examples of them. How dare they disobey the king? Me thinks Cuomo is more afraid of armed law abiding citizens who object to his dictatorship than he is of predicate felons stalking the public and culling the flock. More should be done to repeal the SAFE ACT.
How many people with felony records or stolen guns registered their so called assault weapons because of the SAFE ACT? How many criminals destroyed their 20 round magazines or only loaded 7 bullets? My guess is zero.
Truth is Cuomo wanted to confiscate the guns. Then he wanted to buy them back but could not afford to purchase a million rifles at approximately $1000 a piece. So he opted for registration for now.
The so called assault rifle the AR-15 is still sold in New York only without a pistol grip and no muzzle brake. So what the law accomplished was the sale of guns that are less accurate and ugly as heck. Another example of incompetent and ineffective legislators. Feel safe now? Got SAFETY?
When a politician tells you they are not looking to take your guns away that means they are looking to take your guns away.

The Safe Act should be repealed as it is now. However, I do appreciate the mental health portion which requires practitioners to notify law enforcement of patients that pose a risk of violence.
Rodney Lancaster - 9 years ago
Should more be done to ensure (un)SAFE Act Compliance? YES - REPEAL IT! This only effects the law abiding citizens. Criminals are NOT going to register their guns Mr. Cuomo - DUH!
Say no to tyranny - 9 years ago
Let's see...... About 45,000 of what many estimate to be more than one MILLION previously lawfully owned guns were "registered", with hundreds of thousands of patriots telling Emperor Cuomo to take a hike. It isn' the government's business to know what people own. How many criminals are "registering"?
It would seem people have voted to say no to tyranny and oppressive, nanny state unconstitutional laws. Exactly how do the fringe gun control extremists intend to force gun owners to comply? They've already said "NO!" loudly and firmly. Registration invariably leads to confiscation, which would be fought in the most literal of ways.
There will be no compliance with unconstitutional nonsense.
