It is currently rumored that Governor Andrew Cuomo will resign effective in two weeks. While we have not been able to confirm this with any news source, we believe this to be the case. To be sure Governor Cuomo has been no friend to law abiding gun owners. The SAFE Act which was pushed through by Cuomo in an attempt to pass it without comment or opposition targeted law abiding gun owners including owners of modern sporting rifles, semi automatic rifles and made it more difficult for all gun owners to purchase ammunition. Several of the main provisions of the Safe Act were either found to be unconstitutional or impossible to implement and are not being enforced. These provisions include the 7 round magazine limit and the background checks to buy ammunition.
If it turns out that the rumor is true, Governor Cuomo will not be missed my gun owners.
