UPSTATE EMPIRE STATE POLS WORK TO REPEAL CUOMO’S GUN LAW
” Opposition to New York’s extreme gun control law the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act continues and elected officials are stepping forward to promote full repeal of the bill that was hastily, strong-armed into law.
“The Republican majority made this happen,” said Rep. David J. DiPietro (R.-East Aurora), a freshmen state assemblyman representing parts of Erie and Wyoming County in western New York.
Dean G. Skelos (R.-Rockville Centre) who is the majority leader of the New York State Senate is to blame, he said. “He voted for the bill. He allowed the bill to come to the floor.”
The former Village of Aurora trustee and mayor said that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo brokered a deal with Skelos to enact the SAFE Act. “They threatened Long Island Republicans that if they did not vote for the bill, $1 million would be donated to an opponent for their seat.”
“Skelos and his Long Island delegation sold us out,” he said.
An overwhelming majority of Democrats in the state’s assembly will not pass a repeal bill, and the governor will not sign it, she said. “Our hope is in the lawsuits pending and the courts determining the law unconstitutional.” “
Long Island “Republicans” are nothing of the sort . They are all John McCain style republicans which is to say , no republican at all .

YouViewed/Editorial 
Thank you for your concern and the article, John. Here in New York, nobody is thrilled with Cuomo’s Fatwa SAFE. All of the State Legislature troublemakers appear to be in the counties in the southern part of the state, from Westchester/Rockland and through New York City’s five counties, New York, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond, and east onto Long Island counties of Nassau, and Suffolk. The rest of the counties in the state seem to have reasoned and are not going along with SAFE. The loss of hunting revenues and lodging, and so forth, would only further harm the economies of the upstate counties. Governor Perry of Texas, is also visiting with firearms companies to discuss their relocations to the beautiful State of Texas. Better taxes there, also. The jobs would be welcomed in Texas, as well as the added revenue of business taxes to the coffer of Texas, I believe to be substantially lower than New York State tax rates, to begin with. It will be a win-win situation for firearms companies, and the State of Texas. As for New York, real properties will go off of the tax rolls, and welfare recipients, will increase in numbers as eventually, unemployment insurance benefits run out, due to job losses. But at least the legislative members showed everyone, with their spiteful ways. Thanks, again.
