State Senator James Seward says he’s working with other lawmakers to repeal parts of the New York SAFE act outside of New York City.

Seward says it’s time for the gun control measure to be phased out.

Senator Rob Ortt from Tonawanda and Assemblyman Marc W. Butler from Newport are co-sponsoring the bill.
