Cuomo Launches Website to Address SAFE Act Concerns

In an effort to help the public, a website and hotline have been established to answer all questions about the New York SAFE Act, which was signed into law last week by Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The governor’s office has established nysafeact.com.

On the website, gun owners and licensed dealers will find a list of frequently asked questions that have been compiled and answered by experts on this new law.

There is also a section on what is and is not considered an assault weapon. This includes photos of weapons, banned features, a list of some of the banned weapons, and those firearms that are not considered assault weapons.

The New York State Police have also established a hotline phone number -- 1-855-LAW-GUNS or 1-855-529-4867.

The hotline will be available starting today and will run during normal business hours Monday-Friday and and is staffed by state police members.
