U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- In a move that surprised absolutely nobody, anti-gun New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) announced last week that she would expand her assault on the Second Amendment by targeting ammunition sellers. AG James claimed, “39 ammunition sellers have been shipping ammunition directly to New York residents in violation of New York’s SAFE Act.”
According to a press release from her office, “Attorney General James sent cease and desist orders to these ammunition sellers demanding that they stop shipping ammunition directly to New York and warned them of serious legal consequences if they continue to violate New York’s law.”
The only problem is that how the SAFE Act actually impacts the sale of ammunition in New York remains unclear; even though it was originally signed into law in 2013.
As you may recall, New York’s SAFE Act was introduced, passed, and enacted literally overnight in January of 2013. It received zero legislative scrutiny, and zero opportunity for the public to review the proposal before it was voted on. In fact, few legislators, if any, were even able to carefully read the legislation before a late-night vote was forced upon them.
Of course, given the unprecedented break-neck speed of the legislative process with the SAFE Act—necessary because anti-gun extremists in New York were determined to exploit a recent firearm-related tragedy—the law had serious flaws; besides the obvious attack on law-abiding gun owners and the Second Amendment. Even then-Governor Andrew Cuomo (D)—who helped champion, then signed into law, the SAFE Act—openly admitted mistakes were made with what was arguably the most anti-gun legislative package ever passed; anywhere.
