Connections: Are Some Gun Owners Ignoring the SAFE Act?

WXXI News | By Evan Dawson
Published May 4, 2015 at 2:19 PM EDT

Are New York gun owners ignoring some of the provisions of the SAFE Act? A new report from 13WHAM's Adam Chodak suggests that's a real possibility. He looked at high-capacity magazines, and tried to find out whether gun owners have disposed of them in a lawful fashion. The report raises questions about the effectiveness of the law, but gun control advocates argue that the SAFE Act is proving to be a success. Chodak is in studio with us to discuss his findings, we are also joined by gun advocate Ben Piatt.
