BILL NUMBER: S2614

SPONSOR: JORDAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to repeal chapter 1 of the laws of 2013, amending the criminal
procedure law and other laws relating to suspension and revocation of
firearms licenses; private sale or disposal of firearms, rifles or shot-
guns and establishing a minimum age to possess a firearm relating to gun
control

 
PURPOSE:

An act to repeal Chapter 1 of the Laws of 2013, amending the Criminal
Procedure Law and other laws relating to the suspension and revocation
of the disposal of firearms licenses; private sale or disposal of
firearms, rifles, or shotguns and establishing a minimum age to possess
a firearm relating to gun control.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

The entirety of Chapter 1 would be repealed.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The "New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013"
commonly referred to as the "SAFE Act," has been the most controversial,
contentious and divisive law ever enacted in the history of the Empire
State. Enacted into law through a Message of Necessity without a single
public hearing or opportunity for citizens to comment, the SAFE Act is
an unconstitutional and thus illegal law that eroded the Second Amend-
ment freedoms of all New Yorkers, criminalized millions of law-abiding
citizens and imposed a costly, massive new unfunded mandate on local
governments and local taxpayers. The SAFE Act undermines the right to
keep and bear arms, which is guaranteed to every American and enshrined
in the Constitution of the United States to safeguard all our liberties
against tyranny.

Just as the Minutemen and colonial militia stood against oppression at
Lexington and Concord, so too have millions of freedom-loving, law-abid-
ing New Yorkers stood strong against Governor Cuomo's SAFE Act. Nearly
every County government across the State has passed a legislative resol-
ution opposing the SAFE Act, as have 51 Sheriffs and numerous law
enforcement organizations. In the few months that the SAFE Act has been
law in New York State, it has already caused chaos and confusion, need-
lessly subjecting citizens to potential prosecution that is wholly
unconstitutional.

While various legislative remedies have been introduced that address
some of the most egregious and unconstitutional parts of the SAFE Act,
the inescapable reality is that the SAFE Act must be completely repealed
before this reckless law can do even more damage to the Second Amendment
freedoms that New Yorkers depend upon. This legislation - the "UN-SAFE
Act Repealer" - would repeal the SAFE Act in its entirety.
