Casey Seiler reports at Capitol Confidential opponents of the New York SAFE Act gathered on the East Capitol steps to denounce Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and legislative leaders, Tues., May 21. Roughly 400 participants attended the rally, and pressed for passage of Assembly member Steve Katz's measure to repeal the gun control legislation. The event was hosted by the NY2A Grassroots Coalition. The group headed into the Capitol to distribute 400,000 signed postcard-sized slips of paper calling for a vote on Katz's repeal bill. A notice to members of the Legislature distributed at the rally warned, "Any elected person who votes to retain the SAFE Act is not fit to hold office."
