Well this is good news. The fiscal 2014-2015 budget was just passed by the New York State Senate and there were no funds allocated at all for implementation of the Safe Act. That means no money for the registry, for investigation and enforcement, for the ammunition database or anything else. This does not mean victory. But it does mean that Cuomo's law is having more trouble than any law ever passed in this state. Just keep up the pressure everyone and vote and get others to vote as well. This e-mail was in response to a SCOPE e-mail that I sent him.Here is an e-mail he sent to his constituents this morning:This is in response to your email regarding funding for the SAFE Act in thebudget.As you are likely aware, I strongly opposed and voted against the SAFE Act.There was no additional appropriation provided for implementation of theSAFE Act in the adopted budget.Thank you for your input on this issue. Please feel free to contact myoffice anytime I can be of assistance to you.Very truly yours,John A. DeFranciscoState SenatorFrom: AngryCitizenTo: jdefranc@nysenate.gov Date: 03/24/2014 08:44 PMSubject: Request to Refuse Funding for SAFE Act InitiativesDear Senator DeFrancisco:By now you must surely realize that the NY S.A.F.E. Act which is theacronym for Secure Ammunition Firearms Enforcement Act is an infringementon Second Amendment rights and has nothing to do with safety.There are many questionable initiatives contained in the S.A.F.E. Actincluding the fact that the law creates a State Police database on New Yorkresidents. We are then forbidden access to where the data being used todeny civil rights comes from. Really Senator?I am asking for your support to refuse funding for these ill-conceivedinitiatives that are part of the S.A.F.E. Act.Sincerely,Angry Citizen
