The Tioga Co. legislature made their opinion known on 2A:
“… At the Sept. 12 session of the Tioga County Legislature, members unanimously passed a resolution urging Congress to pass the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA). The legislation, H.R. 3576 (SAGA), was proposed by Congressman Chris Collins (R-NY-27) and introduced into the House of Representatives in July of this year. In similar fashion as Tioga County, the Niagara County and Orleans County Legislatures in New York also passed resolutions in September …”
Good for them.
H.R.3576 isn’t exactly setting Congress on fire. It has only 14 co-sponsors and no Senate companion.
Still resolutions like this do have a purpose. It’s an eye-poke to Governor Cuomo and a reminder how much political clout passing his SAFE Act cost him.
Unfortunately, that law would be challenged and struck down by the courts. I believe, at this point, NY could ban handguns, and the court would uphold it in direct defiance of Heller. The courts are a fraud!

Jacob, the above is a great article on “THE BALANCING TEST” from Boston Law.
I think Collins’ is doing it more to remind everyone that Cuomo screwed them than with any real expectation the bill will become law.
