Locals to join in NY SAFE Act protest in Albany Thursday
OXFORD – Chenango residents are set to embark via bus and car tomorrow morning to a New York State Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (SAFE) protest in Albany.
The NY SAFE Act protest will take place at the Capitol Steps in Albany Thursday, featuring guest speaker and National Rifle Association President David Keene.
The seats on the chartered bus leaving from Oxford have long been filled. Anyone interested in attending the assembly should show up at the Chenango Truck parking lot on Route 12 in Oxford by 7 a.m. tomorrow to car pool and follow the bus.
“I have 10 emails and 5 phone messages from people asking to get on the bus and that is just from this morning,” said organizer Shawn Palmer, Tuesday.
Besides the bus leaving from Oxford, 63 other buses from 31 locations across the state are also scheduled to depart Thursday for the assembly.
“The law is unconstitutional and it is a violation of the second amendment,” said Dan Wilson, who was able to secure a spot on the Oxford bus. “It is going to be like the smoking laws where they started out small and escalated slowly.”
Wilson, along with others who plan to attend Thursday’s assembly, hopes to show lawmakers in New York and elsewhere that laws like the NY SAFE Act are not going to be well received by Americans, he said. Many New York counties have passed or are in the process of discussing resolutions signalling their dissent in regards to the NY SAFE Act. A proposition for an official resolution opposing the law is set to be reviewed by the Chenango County Board of Supervisors during its next meeting in March.
“People need to be active in protecting their Constitutional rights and hopefully they will do that here,” said Wilson.
Objections to the NY SAFE Act go beyond the content of the law to encompass the process in which it was put on the books, a process which has also been called unconstitutional by opponents of the legislation.
“These liberal politicians need to wake up and realize we are not New York City and we do not need or want this law,” said Palmer. “I object to the entire thing. It’s tragic that people have died, but the people responsible were unstable to begin with and an inanimate object can’t be blamed for what was done.”
“People keep making this about hunting and that is not what it is about. It is about the fact that our forefathers gave us the right to have firearms in case the government got too big for its britches,” said Palmer.
