NY Dealers Group Formed





New York passed legislation last week that rightfully targets criminals who sell guns illegally, rather than imposing unnecessary restrictions on law-abiding retailers. In addition to passing the legislation—supported by NSSF—Gov. George Pataki announced the deployment of 100 new state police investigators to gun trafficking task forces throughout the state. These efforts will help keep criminals off the streets and will impose life sentences on those who kill police officers.
The threat of more legislation is looming, however, as Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has not given up on his desire to push for gun control legislation aimed at New York’s 1,700 law-abiding dealers. Silver has come under fire in the past few weeks after telling the New York Post, “I don’t go to cops’ funerals.” His comment caused an uproar in the police community just days after two city police officers had been killed.
In an effort to unite the state’s law-abiding retailers, the New York Association of Firearms Retailers (NYAFR) has formed. The organization is affiliated with NSSF’s National Association of Firearms Retailers (NAFR). New York dealers can join NYAFR by calling Greg Costa at 518-584-5098 or by contacting Bettyjane Swann, NSSF membership manager, at 203-426-1320.
