“County clerks across the state are seeking an emergency meeting with Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other leaders about a Jan. 31 deadline for re-certifying handgun licenses under the 2013 SAFE Act gun control law … “We are unable to answer the numerous questions from our mutual constituents and other interested parties,” reads a Dec. 7 letter signed by Association President Annette Hill …”
I wouldn’t count on that happening. The Governor and legislature knew full well before voting that the so-called SAFE Act was a stinker, both on 2A grounds and administratively. They didn’t care. Cuomo thought he was going to be the leader of a new, populist gun control movement which would benefit him politically. However, the country went in the opposite direction towards more gun rights. So what would Cuomo’s motivation now be to revisit an issue he clearly miscalculated on? He’s already lost the votes of people north of I-84 and nothing he could do short of complete repeal would bring them back.
