The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a lawsuit
in the federal district court for the Northern District of New York
seeking to enjoin the Empire State from enforcing provisions of the
so-called S.A.F.E. Act limiting the use of gun magazines to seven rounds
or less, even if the magazine is designed to hold more ammunition.
The lawsuit, naming New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Joseph D’Amico,
superintendent of the Division of State Police as defendants, asserts
that the seven-round loading restriction violates the Second Amendment
because it “substantially interferes with the right of law abiding
citizens to defend themselves and is not sufficiently related to any
compelling or otherwise adequate government interest.”
SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, meeting with the SAF board in Houston as part of the annual Gun Rights
Policy Conference, made the announcement Friday afternoon following
confirmation from attorney David Jensen, one of two attorneys working on
the case. The other counsel is Robert P. Firriolo.
