New York: Take Action and Tell Your Assembly Member to Vote NO on A. 1191 Today!

Dear [Lawmaker],

As a New York constituent and strong supporter of the Second Amendment, I urge you to please OPPOSE A.1191.

Smart guns, or “personalized” guns, theoretically operate using biometrics and only allow only one registered user to use the firearm. The legislation calls on the Division of Criminal Justice Services to certify the gun as technologically viable and create a roster. This is nothing more than laying the groundwork for a backdoor gun ban so that once approved, they will make sure new, traditional handguns cannot be sold.

Like any gun ban, the notion that this legislation is going to have an impact on public safety is just pure fantasy, or in this case, science fiction. Unfortunately, it’s also an incredibly dangerous bill. What if the gun fails to read your fingerprint and there is a critical delay in a self-defense situation?  The one-user gun is also useless to other family members who may have an urgent self-defense need when a life could very well be on the line.

Again, I ask that you please OPPOSE A.1191. Thank you for all that you do for our state.

Sincerely,
______
