Statement From Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt

Today’s decision is a victory for the Constitutional rights of all New Yorkers.
Albany’s political ruling class has repeatedly parroted a false narrative that law-abiding firearm owners are the root of increasing crime in our communities. Nothing could be further from the truth.
It is One Party Rule that’s made New York less safe with their bail “reform” and other criminal-coddling policies.
Instead of appealing today’s decision, and continuing their unconstitutional political assault on New Yorkers’ freedoms, the Governor and her Legislative allies should close the revolving door of violent, repeat offenders they opened with their pro-criminal agenda.
