"In the 2014 election cycle dozens of New York candidates ... signed the SCOPE Candidates Pledge which read, ... I pledge to support the repeal of the NY SAFE Act and oppose any similar gun-ban legislation at the local, state, and federal level."
"Due in part to the support from the gun owners of New York State ... Republicans were thus able to reclaim the majority in the New York State Senate."
"On March 3rd of this year delegations from ... across New York traveled to Albany to ask their legislators to refuse to pass a budget that included funding for the NY SAFE Act."
"We noted that signing onto 'repeal' legislation while voting to fund implementation of the SAFE Act was contradictory and unacceptable." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
