I'll repost the call to action letter:
Urgent Message from RPD, LLC
A CALL TO ACTION
I do not know how many of you are aware but NY is on the verge of becoming the first state to increase the laws/tighten the laws regarding firearms. Now, You may think that you don't have the firearms they are referring to, or you think you are not involved, but you are.
Every NY resident is affected by this new law. Crime WILL go up. YOU will be at an increased risk of becoming a victim. That is unacceptable.
Gun owner or not, you, as a NY resident are affected. All legal gun owners are potentially criminals now with the new law. The so called 'Assault Rifle' determination has changed to effectively include ALL AR-15 style rifles, which are used in sporting events, and for self defense. Even some hunting rifles or shotguns can be determined to be bad. The new 7 round magazine capacity limit is senseless and mere possession of one that contains more than 7 will be a Felony.
There are some issues with they way a mental health issue is reported and handled.
ANY ammunition sale will now be subject to a NICS check AND recorded. (BATF forbids such records)
Also, the way this new law was made violated a number of basic constitutional procedures and rights, not to mention the whole process of forming a law.
I urge you to do a few things.
First: read the actual text of the law. Educate yourself and know what it says.

Then, start informing everyone you know about this. Pass along the link to them as well. Be informed, have aplan of attack. Do it the right way so that you have an effect on this.
Now, go here to educate yourselves on some other details:

Also, read the following: Someone is starting to take action: Lawyer : Jim Tresmond, Attorney in Buffalo, New York. Attorney phone is 716.202.4301
Successfully represented clients in the past on Second Amendment issues in NYS Supreme Court. This case is pro-bono for all the gun owners of New York. According to Mr. Tresmond the new ban is illegal as it is an ex-facto law taking away previously owned property and he intends to file this action in Federal Court.
We are looking for as many as possible to add to CLASS ACTION CASE:

If you sat back and thought: "nah, this can't happen here" You were wrong. It IS happening.
Contact your state and local representative and talk to them about it. Some food for thought: they swore an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States and NY State. if they voted yes, they just violated that oath.
Hold them accountable!
Here's a link to email them: (Link provided via Ruger)

There are other resources. Use them all and make yourself heard.
THIS WILL NOT STOP OR GET FIXED UNLESS YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Basically, you need to do something now before you are unable to - later.
