It may come as a surprise to some, but a new poll done by Siena College shows that the majority of New York voters are in favor of the gun control law called the SAFE Act.
"What Siena found in this most recent poll is what we have found consistently over the last several years which is that there is very strong support for the SAFE Act among New York voters. In fact, supporters outnumber opponents almost 2 to 1," said Steve Greenberg, Siena pollster.

The Bill of Rights exists precisely to block violations of fundamental liberties, even if they are "supported" by a majority.
The exercise of fundamental rights is not subject to any poll or plebiscite, BY DEFINITION. |

| 52 of the 62 counties here in NY have passed resolution against the SAFE Act. PERIOD. It is all the downstate libtards who haven't seen a blade of grass except for Central Park that is the problem. Some counties have gone as far as demanding that their county seal be posted nowhere near anything to do with the SAFE Act. What does that tell you? Follow more at SCOPE NY. |

I for one don't trust a poll conducted by a liberal college.
It is too easy to achieve the desired result by prescreening the respondents. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
