We are encouraging the Penfield Town Board to take a state against the NY S.A.F.E. Act and pass a resolution to REPEAL the legislation. The NY S.A.F.E. Act was the gun legislation that Governor Andrew Cuomo rushed into voting with an unnecessary Message of Necessity. In doing so, he bypassed public comment, expert testimony, and the 3 day waiting period. Many of our New York Representatives have come forward admitting that they 1. Did not fully read the law before voting to pass it or 2. Did not fully understand the law and its affects on the citizens before voting for it. The NY S.A.F.E. Act criminalized New York gun owners overnight. These law abiding citizens were the target of this legislation as a common criminal will not comply with the NY S.A.F.E. Act. It turned their legal, tax paid property into a criminal offense to be in possession of. And in now way addresses the violent criminals that commit the crimes. It violates the Constitution, and 2nd Amendment, as well as the Supreme Court Case "The District of Columbia vs. Heller" 2008. We are asking for the Town of Penfield to join over 320 State municipalities (towns and villages) as well as 52 counties, and 38 law enforcement and other organizations and send a strong message of opposition against the S.A.F.E. Act; as well as becoming the 4th municipality in Monroe County to pass one.

I have been busy meeting with local officials to press them on why our constitutional rights continue to be ignored. Many of them choose to remain silent rather than face the reality that this law turns law-abiding neighbors into criminals for owning their private property.

Seeing this level of support reminds me why I started this fight to protect our rights against laws that treat us like criminals. The momentum we have built proves that our town is ready to push back and demand better from those in government.

My husband is a law abiding gun owner and he shouldnt be treated like a criminal because of some rushed law. Stand up for our rights.

The SAFE act is a joke and does nothing for actual safety. Tired of NYC politicians dictating how we live up here.
