X. SAFE Act

The NY SAFE Act is really stirring up a lot of commotion. Most people have firearms and feel comfortable having them in their home for protection. It is understandable why people are outraged that they want to take away something that is the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"
 Here is what Governor Andrew Cuomo says about the NY SAFE Act

"The SAFE Act stops criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from buying a gun by requiring universal background checks on gun purchases, increases penalties for people who use illegal guns, mandates life in prison without parole for anyone who murders a first responder, and imposes the toughest assault weapons ban in the country. For hunters, sportsmen, and law abiding gun owners, this new law preserves and protects your right to buy, sell, keep or use your guns."

- Governor Andrew Cuomo

I think this outrages people mostly because it is a right protected in the Bill of Rights. It is a right that has been extremely important since the country was founded. Now here's why I think the bill isn't going to stop violence: if someone truly wants to acquire a gun and can't due to the new law, they will find a way to no matter what. It is a nice thought that the SAFE Act will stop all crime and violence and shooting but it really won't. And so many people are so against this act. It really is cutting it really close to taking a right of ours away.
To even think it would be possible to have strict gun laws is crazy. So many people will be breaking the law and there will always still be a black market to get guns from.
