Some police agencies continued to charge people and some prosecutors continued pressing the cases.
First, Erie County DA John Flynn, and now Niagara County DA Caroline Wojtaszek said they would stop. Long-time gun activist Budd Schroeder said it is a start.
"There's many things in the SAFE Act that we believe are unconstitutional and anybody with an IQ higher than their body temperature will realize that they are not reasonable gun control laws," Schroeder said. "The big one is that just on an accusation, a person can lose four constitutional and civil rights."
Erie County Distict Attorney John Flynn says he is dropping criminal charges against 23 individuals for having too many cartridges in a gun magazine. The DA says that comes a result of an appeals court decision declaring this particular section of the SAFE Act unconstitutional.
