NY Gun Laws Face Legal Challenge
Not to mention outright defiance
Leading gun rights groups put New York State on notice for violating the U.S. and New York State Constitutions for passage and enforcement of the NYS SAFE Act 2013.
"On January 29, we served a Notice of Claim on the Attorney General of the State of New York," said Brian Stapelton, partner at Goldberg Segalla LLP, an Albany law firm. "This is the jurisdictional prerequisite for filing a lawsuit against a municipal body."
The state has 90 days to respond, he said. "Thereafter, we will challenge the unconstitutional SAFE Act as quickly and aggressively as procedures permit."
