The election committee New Yorkers for Gun Safety<\/a> appears to be kaput. What little money remained in the PAC was transferred to the State Democratic Committee.<\/p>\n

It was never<\/a> a real grassroots organization.\u00a0 It was created by Governor Cuomo<\/a> under the NYSDC<\/a> to push the SAFE Act.\u00a0 They kept the account open for some reason since ’13 and now it has a $0.00 balance.<\/p>\n

It can be looked at as both a success and failure.\u00a0 It was successful in pushing SAFE, but it was a failure in generating any sort of residuals.\u00a0 Gun control is less popular now than 5 years ago and Cuomo’s standing as a national leader on the issue only hurt him.<\/p>\n

Antigun advocates are unlikely to learn anything from this.<\/p>\n
