You all remember when the New York State legislature rammed their draconian Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (SAFE Act) down the throats of New York gun owners during the irrational hysteria over the Sandy Hook shootings and the murder of some fire fighters in Webster, NY earlier this year. That law is scheduled to go into effect on January 15th, 2014, but that little detail hasn’t prevented New York from prosecuting citizens for violations of the Act before it’s actually a law according to Syracuse.com<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Nearly 1,000 people have been charged under the NY Safe Act in the eight months since the tougher gun control law was passed, according to the state’s Division of Criminal Justice Services.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Take, for example, possession of a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds.<\/p>\n

Across the state, 20 people have been charged with this misdemeanor, according to data The Post-Standard and Syracuse Media Group requested from DCJS. That includes three people in Onondaga County, according to the stats.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Others interpret that part of the law differently. Certain large capacity magazines are now unlawful under the Safe Act, though owners have until Jan. 15 to get rid of them. And, people caught with a large magazine can have an extra 30 days to get rid of it to avoid the misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

But, Onondaga County Chief Assistant District Attorney Joseph Coolican added: “That doesn’t mean that if I’m caught with one (now), I can’t be charged,” he said this week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then why even have an effective date for a law? It’s obvious to me that this law has nothing to do with “gun safety” and everything to do with gun owner control. It’s apparently being used to make otherwise law-abiding citizens into criminals. If I still lived in Onondaga County (around Syracuse), I’d be voting against a district attorney who prosecutes laws that don’t actually exist yet.<\/p>\n
