It does nothing to make any type of firearm anywhere 'less lethal.'

It just makes them look like they belong on a sci-fi movie set.

No, it did not have 'broad support' and has nothing to do with 'safety,'

Being anti-gun is not being 'pro-safety.'

That's crap.

Pro safety people get range instructor certs, they teach classes, they go to (mostly rural) schools with NRA big bird posters and talk about hunting safety.

The SAFE Act was a midnight massacre of 2nd Amendment rights. Gov. Cuomo is a demagogue.
