"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 |
| 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 |
