The state announced grants to non-profit organizations to combat gun violence through the SNUG program. SNUG spells GUNS backwards and the program aims to curb gun violence and save lives by intervening in the aftermath of shootings to prevent retaliation, working with high-risk youths to connect them to services and programs, and other community engagement initiatives. Family Services of Westchester in Mount Vernon will receive $290,500 through the program. Yonkers YMCA will receive $355,820. Family Services Inc. of Poughkeepsie will get $305,100.

| Probably took the money from the insurance companies they raped with their fines. Remember those that supplied the insurance for the NRA. Probably had a party with the rest. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
