Senator Tedisco Calls for Repeal of SAFE ACT in Upstate NY

Senator Jim Tedisco (R,C,I,REF-Glenville) today joined with Tom King, from the  New York State Rifle & Pistol Association and several of his legislative colleagues at a press conference to call for repealing the SAFE Act in Upstate NY and restore our constitutional rights. The legislation, S.879B, would repeal the SAFE Act in all areas of the state outside of the five boroughs of New York City. Tedisco is a co-sponsor of the bill which is prime sponsored by Senator Rob Ortt (R,C,I-North Tonawanda) and Senator Jim Seward (R,C,I,REF-Oneonta).

"I support a full repeal of the unconstitutional so-called SAFE Act for the whole state but we need to get our foot in the door and at a minimum end this bill in Upstate which has made New Yorkers less safe and only infringed on the constitutional rights of honest, law-abiding citizens. Thanks to Tom King and the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association for their strong advocacy for our Second Amendment. I will continue to be a strong voice for our Second Amendment rights!" said Tedisco, who is a sponsor of every piece of legislation he is aware of to repeal the SAFE Act.
