Patriotic citizens gathered at gun ranges and gun clubs around the state of New York in solemn protest over the passing of the Safe Act, arguably the biggest infringement of the 2nd Amendment since it was written in the Bill of Rights.
The New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013 was enacted on January 15th, 2013. Governor Andrew Cuomo described it as "toughest" gun control law in the United States. Contained inside this unconstitutional law includes: Banning high capacity magazines, even ones that were bought legally. Background checks on all ammunition sales and sellers are required to report all sales to the state. All assault weapons must be registered. Makes assault weapon features from two to one, essentially making most firearms illegal. Background checks on all sales, including private person to person. Allows police to seize firearms without warrant or court order, only by a reasonable belief the owner might commit a crime in the future.
Here's what our founding fathers had to say about the abridgment of the right to bear arms.
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."
---Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787).
"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it. "
---James Madison,The Federalist Papers, No. 46.
"To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-
defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws."
---John Adams, A Defence of the Constitutions of the United States 475 (1787-1788)
"
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
--- Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1785. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, (Memorial Edition) Lipscomb and Bergh, editors

I stand with these New York Patriots and the founders of this great nation by saying no one will take my right to bear arms away from me. MOLON LABE.

Your right. The people need guns to protect themselves from the police AND the paramilitaries like you lot who do their dirty work.
