I urge everyone to sign my petition so we can repeal this unconstitutional measure and chart a new course that respects the legacy of sportsmen and outdoorsmen while still addressing the root causes of violence in society.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assemblyman Dan Stec (R,C,I-Queensbury) launched a petition last Friday to urge a repeal of the NY SAFE Act, the controversial new gun-control legislation pushed through by Governor Cuomo last month.
