SkyPilot:"Good. Now repeal the SAFE ACT."

The SAFE ACT got presented because Cuomo wanted to demonstrate that he was more liberal than Obama; therfore he called the State Senate into 'emergency session'.
The next day Obama was expected to issue new guidlines for Federal guidelines for more Gun Control.
The bill came right from the Governor's office and had been prepared in advance for just such an opportunity. Cuomo was trying to show that he was more progressive than Obama.
Less than 10 minutes after Senate quorum was established, the bill was presented and passed (with most senators not even reading the bill: typical Dumbo-Crat herd mentality).
The only discussion occurred in the House where people did read the bill , and there was lively discussion and discension.
Some parts of the bill were excluded in the House

What most people fail to realize is the original bill submitted by Cuomo ,
called for the confiscation of ALL FIREARMS in the State, and NO FINANCIAL COMPHENSATION to firearms owners.
The passed bill later had to be modified to allow (?) police officers to carry firearms.
This is proof that this was a hurried bill with little intellectual consideration by the Governor.
