This edition of the Campbell Conversations completes an extended consideration of gun control and the NY SAFE Act. In prior weeks Grant Reeher has spoken with SUNY-Cortland Professor Robert Spitzer and Onondaga District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick, both of whom saw a need for more regulation of gun ownership, while also noting possible problems with some of the approaches taken in the new state law.
In this week's conversation, Scott Armstrong, a political communications consultant and a former lobbyist for the NRA, takes a decidedly more critical view, seeing the law primarily as a burden on law-abiding gun owners, not a crime-fighting measure.
