New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Names Legislators of the Year

ALBANY, NY (05/28/2013)(readMedia)-- The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association has named State Senator Kathleen Marchione (43rd SD) and Assemblyman Steven McLaughlin (107th AD) its Legislators of the Year. These are difficult times for Second Amendment rights in New York, but these two legislators have stood by New York shooters. Senator Marchione was one of only two Senators to speak on the Senate floor against SAFE during the truncated debates, and is now working to repeal or replace it. Assemblyman McLaughlin has repeatedly stood up for gun rights on the Assembly floor and in the press, calling the Governor's illegal gun tipline an initiative that "seeks to turn neighbor against neighbor." The NYSRPA thanks these legislators for supporting New Yorkers' Second Amendment rights.
