Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports that he has joined his fellow Sheriffs in the New York State Sheriffs’ Association in an amicus curiae brief filed in support of a lawsuit challenging the New York State Secure Firearms and Ammunition Enforcement Act (“the NY SAFE Act”). The Sheriffs’ Association has joined with several other law enforcement groups in the “friend of the court” brief, filed in support of New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Cuomo, which is currently in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. The brief bolsters the litigants’ arguments that the Act is unlawful on Second Amendment and other legal grounds, while offering the unique perspective of law enforcement on this issue.

Sheriff Smith was the President of the Sheriffs’ Association in January when the Association spoke out against the law and wrote to Governor Cuomo requesting that the Act be revised, citing several provisions in the Act that the lawmen believe will make New Yorkers less safe. Sheriff Smith, who currently serves as the Chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Sheriffs’ Association, has said that “the so-called ‘SAFE Act’ should actually be called the ‘Not So Safe Act’ because there are many provisions in the Act that put our citizens at risk.”
