Stefanik Leads Letter to Governor Hochul Over New York State Law's Open Assault on Gun Owners' Constitutional Rights

Letter

"It is said that the revenue collected from the background and ammunition tax will go to fund programs that prevent gun violence in the State. Taxing responsible gun owners at a time of rising prices and out of control government spending is shameful and irresponsible. Responsible gun owners should not be the ones footing the bill to pay for the failures of Albany Democrats whose misguided policies have made our communities less safe. Taxing law-abiding citizens to clean up for failed Far Left policies is not only unconstitutional, but morally reprehensible.

New Yorkers' Second Amendment rights are once again under siege as buyers and sellers are being kept in the dark about how to properly implement the burdensome new state order charging fees for firearm and ammunition background checks. Buyers and dealers have been left in limbo with no access to training and little information on the change. Clearly, this disastrous policy was motivated by gun grabbing anti-Second Amendment radicals in Albany rather than by commonsense and the public safety of our Upstate New York communities. Far Left Albany Democrats have once again assaulted our Constitutional right to bear arms and I will do everything in my power to stop their attacks on the sacred Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers."
