These are the people that are representing the shooters in front of the
legislature
- and the number of people they represent does matter. The NSSA doesn't do
this
- it is not their job and they are limited legally.
CONTRIBUTE
When these groups ask for your financial help, give. We do not have
George Soros
writing 7 digit checks as the proponents of this legislation have. It is
up to us to
support our cause
LEARN
Know what the proposed legislation really means. You cannot depend on the press.
They are the "sensible" people. Go to (www.scopeny.org)
and select "Legislation".
There is a list of the pending legislation and links to the NYS legislature
sites for the
full text.
SPEAK OUT
Contact your Legislator. Nothing counts more than the opinion of
someone who votes
in his or her district. In person is the best way but a phone call, letter
or email help.
"NO MAN'S LIFE, LIBERTY OR PROPERTY IS SAFE WHILE
THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE IS IN SESSION"
Never has this been a truer statement. With the assumption of control
of both houses
of the legislature and the governor's office by the democrats, the probability
of more
restrictive gun control legislation has never been greater.
Over 65 hostile bills are now pending in the legislature. They would shut
down most
gun dealers, expand the ban on "Assault Weapons", require serial
numbering and
sale records for ammunition, ban .50 rifles, mandate renewal of pistol permits,
impose storage and trigger lock requirements, prohibit gun shows, require all
transfers of firearms to go through a dealer, expand CoBIS to include rifles
&
shotguns, implement microstamping, and mandate "Child Safe" firearms.
This legislation is being promoted as being "Just a few sensible measures
that will
make us all safer".
Thinking that this "Doesn't Affect Me"? Think Again!
- Your rifle shotgun would now be a banned ".50 caliber rifle"
- Banned "Assault Weapons" Would Include:
-Any semi auto rifle with a thumb hole stock, pistol grip or a muzzle brake.
-Any semi auto shotgun with a pistol grip, thumbhole or folding stock.
-Any pistol with a muzzle brake or a magazine outside of the grip.
-Any feature deemed "Not Sporting" by the superintendent of state
police.
- All ammunition sales would be registered and reported to the state
police.
- If your gun is stolen and used in a crime you could be held criminally
liable.
