Albany's New Unconstitutional Gun Control Laws Turn Adirondack Park Gun Owners Into Felons

Issues: Guns

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement regarding the latest unconstitutional gun control law passed by Albany Democrats and signed by Kathy Hochul which would turn Adirondack Park gun owners, a significant portion of NY-21, into felons:

"Kathy Hochul and her radical Far-Left Democrat allies in Albany are shredding the Constitution as their most recent gun ban bill immediately classifies the tens of thousands of law-abiding gun owners in the Adirondack Park as felons. This unconstitutional legislation states that a person is guilty of criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location when such person possesses a firearm, rifle or shotgun in or upon a sensitive location." The unconstitutional bill goes on to define "a sensitive location shall mean public parks." This is a direct attack on the law-abiding and patriotic citizens of the North Country and Adirondack Park. I will always stand up for my constituents as radical politicians like Kathy Hochul and downstate Democrats attack the Constitution and our Upstate values."
