Association of Erie County Governments votes for repeal of state’s gun safety law.

A group representing local governments in Erie County is supporting calls to repeal the state’s new gun- control law.

At its monthly meeting Thursday, the Association of Erie County Governments went on record in opposition to the 2013 New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, commonly known as the NY SAFE Act. The law was approved Jan. 15 by the State Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo the same day.
