JOHNSTOWN - Local legislators are starting to take official measures to show their opposition to the state's new gun-control law.
Fulton County supervisors this week unanimously agreed to endorse a law-enforcement position statement that calls the new regulations "unfair" and "overly restrictive."
Montgomery County supervisors are considering a similar resolution...
...
The 1,500-word position statement was drafted and unanimously approved last month by 52 members of the New York State Sheriff's Association, including Fulton County Sheriff Thomas Lorey, Montgomery County Sheriff Michael Amato and Hamilton County Sheriff Karl Abrams.
...
... (Sheriff) Lorey presented it to the Board of Supervisors' Public Safety Committee, which unanimously approved it, setting up Monday's vote by the full board. The Public Safety Committee in Montgomery County also passed a similar measure, and a resolution is under way in Hamilton County.
...
(Northampton Town Supervisor) Kemper said there was no debate among supervisors Monday - only widespread disgust for the law and the way it was passed.
...
"The big picture is big brother is taking over your personal rights, gaining everything you have a right to," she said.
(Sheriff) Lorey... said Monday at the Fulton County Republican Club's Lincoln Day dinner that this is a big issue that won't go away. He followed that up Tuesday with a short speech at a gun rally in Albany.
"I've got a simple message: I'm not coming to take your guns. Not today. Not ever," he shouted through a megaphone, adding, "Fulton County is a come-and-take-it county, not a bend-over county."
The supervisors' resolution "demands that state legislators reconvene to appeal and/or amend" provisions of the law that "violate the rights of citizens as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution."

That's stupid, invite them to your county for a good meal... at the end, arrest them under the various laws they have violated.
Conspiracy against Rights Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law Treason -- (They are depriving the militia of the State of New York of weapons the military would use, thereby giving aid to the enemies of the states.)
I will never go to New York again, nor will I buy anything that might be made there. Same with New Jersey.
My mouth is .44 inches wide.
This is starting to play out as many FReepers have surmised - it will be rural counties vs fascist big cities and their crony, criminal politicians.
Did you hear what the idiot president said yesterday in Chicago?
Here I’m paraphrasing:
“There were uh some 400 people um killed in Chicago last year.
Um that’s uh like a Sandy hook every 4 months.”
THAT WAS WHAT THE IDIOT SAID!!!!
Saw this on the Saturday Today show this morning. No one else saw this?
What a buffoon.
That is how it seems to be shaping up.
This area of upstate NY (along both sides of the Mohawk River) has always been a hotbed of anti-Royalist, patriotic sentiment. These are rural people who really, really distrust and loathe the large urban areas, and for good reason. Over the years they have been heavily taxed and regulated and essentially been thrust into increasing poverty for the good pleasure of the corrupt city politicians and their parasite masses. Their once thriving industries and farms have been shut down, gutted, and impoverished by burdensome regulations and taxes. These are heavily Republican areas, but greatly outnumbered by the teeming Liberals downstate. Remington Arms are made at Ilion, right in the center of this region.
The Tryon County Militia was instrumental in the Revolutionary War battles in upstate New York. They suffered 70% casualties in the Battle of Oriskany, but stopped the cutting of NY in pieces by the British. It appears they are starting to "muster" again.
hopefully the rural counties contain those crooks to their districts...
Threaten them with arrest for treason if they set foot into their jurisdiction
“...”I’ve got a simple message: I’m not coming to take your guns. Not today. Not ever,” he shouted through a megaphone, adding, “Fulton County is a come-and-take-it county, not a bend-over county.”...
Stand tall, Sheriff. Good on ya.
I think it’d be interesting to hear the liberals talk behind closed doors. Do they know what they’re doing? Do they think they’ll come out of it alive?
“It appears they [upstate NY’ers] are starting to “muster” again.”
We’re doing the best we can with what we’ve got to work with. We WILL need all the support we can get. Please don’t write us off just because we’re from NY.
Added.
What percentage of county sheriffs are like this?
This is a good opportunity for jury nullification. Conservatives must serve on juries and nullify these laws.
Maricopa County and Cochise County Sheriffs in AZ have both said the Feds can go and sit on Cactus.
Like what? arclight on albany?
he shouted through a megaphone, adding, “Fulton County is a come-and-take-it county”
When the sheriff starts saying “molon labe”, things will get interesting.
To piss the libs off eve more, he should have raised a AR-15 above his head.
Thanks Gritty.
