Repeal New York Safe Act and All other NY Gun Laws

To: Governor Andrew M. Cuomo , New York State Senate and Assembly

We the people of the State of New York, both law abiding and free, being the whole of the Unorganized Militia of the State of New York do hereby demand the repeal of the New York Safe Act as well as any other state law infringing on our right to keep and bear arms. These laws are both repugnant...

We the people of the State of New York, both law abiding and free, being the whole of the Unorganized Militia of the State of New York do hereby demand the repeal of the New York Safe Act as well as any other state law infringing on our right to keep and bear arms. These laws are both repugnant to the spirit and intent of the US constitution and are unlawful. Each day these laws are in effect is another violation of our rights as citizens of the United States,  and the State of New York.

These laws, especially the New York Safe act are a direct violation of the Second Amendment which specifically protects the right of the people to posess without restriction the standard shoulder arm of the United States Military (or the equivilent) . In order for the people as a whole to be as well armed and as capable as the average US Soldier. This amendement's entire purpose was to ensure that a standing army, motivated by political agendas contrary to the public good and the values on which this country was founded, may, by force of arms, or the threat thereof, be kept in check. This can only be done if the whole people have access to arms, ammunition and ammunition feeding devices similar, if not identical or even superior in quality and workmanship to that of the average US Soldier's issued service rifle. Know that we feel this liberty carries with it a grave resposibilty to assist in the defense of the State and consider this responsibilty to be as important and as legally binding as other such civic resposibilities such as Jury Duty.

We respect the right of those in office to hold opinions, even those contrary to the will of the people; however, it does not give officials, elected or otherwise the right to infringe on rights of the people. Therefore we the people will accept no less than the repeal of all of these laws as each one passed is a gateway to the next. They compound the affront to our liberties and our good character as law abiding American Citizens and and loyal citizens of the State of New York

In closing, we strongly urge you to give in to our demands at your earliest convenience.

Truly

The People of the State of New York

The ability of the people to keep and bear arms is a civic resposibility, one that keeps our country free and safe from tyranny, foreign invasion and lawlessness. The New York Safe Act, and other gun control measures strip us of the ability to carry out our lawful function as members of the Unorganized Militia.

My oath to "Protect & Defend" our Constitution has NO TERMINATION DATE.. Personally, I don't give a shit what Obama & his KKK-Communist democrats say or do, especially about our "RIGHT" to bear arms.. With all their "crippling sanctions" against the American people to date.....I'll say it loud & clear...."YOU'D BETTER KILL ME WHILE TRYING TO MAKE ME INTO A SERVITUDE SLAVE.....BECAUSE I'M SURE IN HELL GOING TO KILL YOU WHILE YOU'RE TRYING"...

Dave Channon You are a sheepel. get on your knees and start doing the thing.

When I took the oath in the military to defend my country from foreign enemies it did not stop when I left. The rifle was one of many weapons I used to defend my homeland and will continue to do so.
When a Russian reaches a certain age they are all sent to a training camp and tought military knowledge and how to shoot. Wether it be male or female they are sent home with their weapon. This is so at any time an incursion does happen they know how to shoot and are ready. Are we that ignorant to take weapons away from our citizens and send an invite to any country that we are unarmed and can not stop you from taking our nation.
I don"t think that's what our forefathers would have wanted from us and would probably weep to see what our nation has become today.

I believe in Gun control...... As long as I am CONTROLLING THE GUN...........

DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT..\m/\m/!!!!!

Carman Boyd

evidently, so does OBAMA

Idont see them taking rights away but I have no problem signing this every gun owner should sign thisglad to see this!

Fred Gooderham

You dont see the writing on the wall? First its gun registration (easy way to know who has guns) then its gun confiscation. Not only will the Government take away your 2nd Amendment right but also your 4th as they barge into your house and take your guns away.

Timothy Kingsley

All I do see is them taking our rights,every chance they get.

As an officer in the US Army for 29 years, I was required to take an Oath of Office to defend the Constitution. This did not end when I retired. The present trend towards more gun control and restrictions of the rights of law abiding citizens is unconstitutional and treasonous. All of politicians that voted for the recent NYS gun control law are in violation of their Oaths of Office and should be tried in a court of law for treason. Let us get this started, before it is accepted as a norm....

I'm not a cop, but as a retired SFC from the Army, I'm with ya, Mr. H, sir. I volunteer to be part of the firing squad come time to carry out the sentences of these ... hold on a minute, gotta go take a BP pill, this subject boils my brain.

If we don't stand up for our rights now , we won't have any rights at all!

I already signed as well

Why are people signing that don't live in New York. This is only the first of many steps.

Thomas Jefferson said The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” (Quoting Cesare Beccaria).

The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
