Glenford-Wittenburg Sportsmen’s Club member Rich Vizzini said the resolution was important in letting state lawmakers know the importance of maintaining Second Amendment rights. “I think the method in which the (state) SAFE Act was passed was definitely an illegal method,” he said. “No urgency existed for it to have been rushed through,” Vizzini said. “There are 25,000 words, there are 63 parts to the SAFE Act, and our legislators were given less than an hour to digest and understand probably one of the most complex laws that has been enacted in the past 15 years.” Saugerties Fish and Game Club member Don Baker, who is also a 26-year member of the state police, said that some of his private weapons would be considered illegal under the new law. “The way they wrote the law my .22-caliber target rifle is now considered an assault weapon and that’s ridiculous,” he said. “The whole act was very poorly done, I think it’s not necessary, and it’s not going to solve anything,” he said. “It’s not the law-abiding people that cause the problem.” County Legislature Chairwoman Terry Bernardo, who opened the session with a 15-minute history of state gun-control efforts, drew handshakes following the vote. Among her comments was noting that some past efforts to reduce gun violence have failed spectacularly. “In 2001 New York state started spending millions and millions of dollars on the New York State Combined Ballistic Identification System,” she said. “They would fire the gun when they make it, keep the bullet, and the idea was if a crime was committed you find the bullet that a crime was committed with and you’re going match it up with the gun, and it didn’t solve any crimes.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
