Nathan Mayberg reports in the Register Star the Columbia County Board of Supervisors Government Committee voted Tues., Feb. 26, for the repeal of the NY SAFE Act. The resolution, passed on a vote of 6 to 2, stated the newly enacted gun control legislation will curtail a citizen's Second Amendment right to bear arms, and criticized how the law was approved -- with limited public notice, public debate or review by state lawmakers.
