Just like many of us, I was deeply affected by the tragedy in Newtown, CT. After Governor Cuomo passed the NY SAFE act, I was incredibly proud to be a resident of NY state. However, recently, I was troubled to learn that our Putnam County Legislators do NOT support the NY SAFE act. Please join me in letting them know how we feel.

Weapons of war Kill to many innocent lives

Children need to be protected from rapid fire weapons and irresponsible gun owners who leave their weapons out in the open for a child to play with and sadly in many cases leads to death.

Ex-felons are having an extremely difficult time finding work in this country, supporting themselves and their families, and many are in danger of rescinding without gainful employment

H.124 is a bill that would create a 10 round magazine limit, require a concealed carry permit, require background checks on private gun sales.This legislation would have no effect on crimes or criminal activity. We need to fully utilize the tools in place to have a positive effect in our community. Read the full bill here: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2014/bills/Intro/H-124.pdf

Anyone with a concealed carry gun permit is currently allowed to carry on the campus of all state-supported universities and colleges. A bill will soon arrive on Governor Hickenlooper's desk that will add campuses to the list of places where concealed carry is banned, like K through 12 schools. There is more to this than the safety issue resulting from a mix of guns and often highly emotional young adults. A major issue is the toxic atmosphere that would ensue if guns might be present during heated classroom debates or when an emotional student is given a failing grade. The classroom is no place for guns. The governor should sign this bill.

jPass legislation controling the size of magazing clips in guns. Also author stronger registration process for everyone. In conclusion, make it a liablility if your weapon is used in a crime with or without you consent. These so-called gun-enthusiashts need to "belly-up" and be more responsible with the general pubic. THEY CAN KEEP THEIR GUNS, but with limitations!

There are many responsible gun owners in our state that strongly believe sensible, common sense gun regulations do not impede on the 2nd Amendment and are critical to the safety of our communities.

Studies have repeatedly shown that alcohol is far more dangerous than cannabis, and yet it is legal to use for recreation. Meanwhile, people who could benefit from its use such as cancer patients, epileptics, and people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder face prosecution for its possession. There is great revenue to be obtained for the state from regulation and taxation of cannabis, as well as allowing our law enforcement to focus on violent crime and undercutting the profits of criminal activities. History has taught us that the folly of prohibition only acted as a boon for organized crime.

Drunks kill more people than guns. I was almost run over ( I was on foot) by a drunk truck driver.

Innocent people are being shot down on our streets by the thousands.

This is affecting all of us.
