The filthy SAFE Act in New York was touted as 'common sense gun regulation". However, we can never trust Liberals with our Constitutional Rights because they will always abuse them. They have no idea what "shall not be infringed" means.
There have been several examples of how oppressive it has been. Everything from the veteran arrested for having an unloaded standard capacity magazine in his car trunk to the guy having his firearms confiscated for seeing a doctor about a mild case of insomnia to the tourist arrested for the mere possession of a firearm.
Here is the latest.
Deputies confiscate a CNY veteran's guns. They were wrong. What happened?
Deputies confiscate a CNY veteran's guns. They were wrong. What happened?
TABERG, NY - Don Hall was sitting in his living room watching TV with his girlfriend about 9:30 p.m. earlier this year when he was startled by flashing police car lights in his driveway.
Hall met the Oneida County sheriff's deputies in the driveway, worried that they were bringing bad news about a family member.
Instead, the deputies produced an official document demanding that Hall, a 70-year-old Vietnam veteran who is a retired pipefitter, turn over his guns to them on the spot. On the document Hall said he was described as "mentally defective."
When Hall told police he'd never had any mental issues, Hall said, deputies told him he must have done something that triggered the order under the New York state's SAFE Act.
The deputies left that night with six guns - two handguns and four long guns.
"I was guilty until I could prove myself innocent," Hall said. "They don't tell you why or what you supposedly did. It was just a bad screw-up."
Under what legal authority Hall's guns were confiscated is in disagreement.
Hall and his lawyer said they are convinced his guns were taken as a result of a report under the NY SAFE Act. The New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act was adopted in 2013 after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newton, Conn.
