October 3, 2013: Last week, RLF filed an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief on behalf of the National Shooting Sports Foundation in the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Cuomo case, which is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York.  The brief, which was filed in support of the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, aims to draw the Court’s attention to the significant burdens the sloppy drafting of the NY SAFE Act has imposed on New York FFLs at the manufacturer, distributor and retailer levels.  Notably, the brief (available here) is the first time the voices and practical concerns of New York FFLs regarding the NY SAFE Act have been presented to a Court for consideration.  Hopefully the Court takes due notice of these significant issues.
