Bungled bid to alter New York SAFE Act signals shift
A July move by a New York senator and a governor’s staffer unveiled a memorandum of understanding to modify a core gun control provision. No Assembly or Democrats took part, and Assemblyman Cahill condemned the unilateral action as illegal and shameful, arguing the matter belongs in the full Legislature. The episode highlights tensions among state leaders over the gun law born after Sandy Hook. The governor and Sen Seward argued the background checks database could not be set up, while critics warned of executive overreach and tyranny.
