New York flags 278 gun owners as mentally unstable
New York State’s tough new SAFE Act gun control law has flagged
278 gun owners who could lose their weapons because
they have been deemed mentally unstable, a new report shows.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged lawmakers to pass the SAFE Act quickly after the 2012 mass shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
“It only takes one individual to wreak mayhem and tragedy if they have access to a firearm,” Leah Gunn Barrett, of the group New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, said. “
These are individuals who, under no circumstances, should have guns.”
