WILL CONTROVERSIAL NEW YORK GUN-CONTROL LAW BE OVERTURNED?
by New York State Grassroots Groups
(Feb. 17, 2015) — [Editor’s Note: The following letter was sent by a New York State Grassroots organizer to State Sen. George A. Amedore, Jr., who represents New York’s 46th senatorial district in support of Amedore’s stand to repeal the SAFE Act, passed in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in neighboring Connecticut in December 2012.
The SAFE Act was passed hastily in January 2013 without the customary three-day public comment period. The law’s constitutionality has been challenged, after which a federal judge ruled that the new magazine limit of seven rounds was unconstitutional.]

Subject: Thank You Senator Amedore!
Thank You Senator Amedore! [thanks to Ed and the whole staff too!]
On Friday I was told you would sign on to Marchione’s repeal bill #S1193-2915 and sure enough on Monday you ARE a cosponsor. That’s GREAT! – Thank YOU
In our conversations I was told you are writing a repeal bill of your own and we have given you suggestions on repeal bill and the budget. We have done some research that might help you get cosponsors for your bill – hope it helps. If you want any assistance please let us know. It’s beginning to look like passing a FULL Repeal of the Safe Act IS possible in the Senate – Yahoo! Keep Pushing – Thank YOU Senator Amedore!!!!
[things are looking up regarding “Cleaning of the Albany Cesspool” – Please Keep Fighting.]
Looking forward to your update – Thanks again
