lurkso: ..1 the most important part of the article in which the county and state police are refusing to enforce the law. .. 2 the relevant point of the article still applies which is that the county and state police are refusing to enforce the law.
And what do you base your general non sequitur on? gunnut anecdotal evidence:
anecdotes from Nojay: “The rank and file troopers don’t want anything to do with it,” Assemblyman Bill Nojay (R).. “I don’t know of a single sheriff upstate who is going to enforce it.” .. Nojay said estimates of military-style rifles in private ownership in NY range -- up to 1 million. He predicted compliance with registration would be in the 10% range .. He said the SAFE Act provisions on registration will be ignored the same way the 55 mph Interstate speed limit and Prohibition was {sic} ignored..“I know a few hundred of these (gun owners),” Nojay added. “I don’t know of any of them that are going to be registered, so go figure.”
Wow, lurkso, accd'g to nojay you're right. Nojay doesn't know of any gun owners who are going to register their assault rifles or superclips, so there must be full non compliance, wow, a stupendous failure in the process, per nojay.
In Schoharie County, a rural area.., county legislators passed a resolution to keep the county’s official seal off any websites or publications about the SAFE Act. The county notified state officials that no money would be allocated for local enforcement
scoharie co: Pop: 32,099 (2012) Would fit in a sq mile or two of NY City.
County legislatures in Rensselaer and Niagara counties have also passed resolutions about non-use of their official seals in SAFE Act materials. In Erie Co, retired state trooper Howard’s declaration “I won’t enforce it” was credited with electing him to a third term..
Who credited his safe act opposition to his 3rd election? my bet it was gunnuts. But at least rensselaer & Niagara counties account for 400,000, so, so far we're about at 450,000 of NY's 20 million people, approx. 2% of New York. Erie county would up it to ~10% but that's for full non compliance.
A Schoharie official is organizing a protest on Jan. 11, he asks everyone with a gun in the county to show their opposition to SAFE Act by firing off one round in a safe manner.
He then went back to belching Budweiser & playing grand theft auto video game.
Gun rights groups say State Police refusal to release statistics on gun registrations suggests that the new law is being ignored.
State Police said the FOIL requests for the records will not be granted because registration information is part of a confidential database exempt from disclosure.
But when have facts ever gotten in the way of gunnut propagunda?
