The SAFE ACT (L2)

Our New York State officials have been silent on the issue of having back ground checks on the people that want to purchase ammo. The deadline for this issue is January 15. Many people do not think there will be any requirements from the state by then. This is simply because the system is not read for something like this. The reason for the back ground checks is because of the trending issue of the New York State SAFE ACT. The SAFE ACT has been troubling hunters statewide and also many gun shop dealers. However all the dealers have heard virtually nothing from state officials about there being any back ground checks for people purchasing ammo. This is mainly because the system is not ready for it. The New York State SAFE ACT is an act that was created by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The SAFE ACT states that it will prevent criminals and dangerously mentally ill people from purchasing guns because of the back ground checks at the dealers. It will also increase the penalties that people would face for owning illegal guns. This act mandates life in prison without parole for anyone who murders a first responder. Finally it imposes the toughest assault weapons ban in the country.  Governor Cuomo says that this new law will protect and preserve hunters, sportsmen, and law abiding gun owner’s right to buy, sell, and own guns. I do not agree with that last statement what so ever. Any law against guns does not preserve our original rights with guns right now. I do however agree with a better back ground check for you to be able to purchase a gun. Therefor it will be harder for criminals and mentally dangerous people to be able to purchase a gun. The back ground checks alone would be fine.
