NY’s fast action short-circuited NRA gun law opposition
ALBANY — The National Rifle Association says the secret negotiations and lightning-fast passage of New York’s tough new gun control laws squelched the powerful gun lobby’s ability to mount opposition.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he had to engineer quick enactment to prevent a counterproductive buying spree of now-outlawed guns.
The legislation was introduced and signed into law in less than two days.
