I am currently a life member of the NYSRPA and I follow the news daily from their newsletters they send me. They are NRA in NY. They are spending a fortune trying to remove SAFE and there is a sizable minority of us NYers who want it removed. But NY/Albany and the liberal cities and burbs make the rules and have the political edge. Either the western counties secede from NY or we have to get out of this state. I am prone to think leaving the NE is the only way out.
VT and NH are two of the freest states in the union with regard to gun laws.
I grew up in Nassau County, NY and got a .22 for my twelfth birthday. Used to shoot to in the back yard with my friends.
It is UNBELIEVABLE what NY has become, in terms of anti-gun tyranny.
