Shots heard 'round New York State

With a single shot, Saturday at high noon dozens of gun enthusiasts, hunters and elected officials at the Middleburgh Rod and Gun Club wanted to show they take their Second Amendment rights seriously.
The call was put out for gun owners across the state. No word on exactly how many took part. The statewide protest dubbed "Shot Heard Throughout New York State" was a stand against New York's Safe Act.
Schoharie County Sheriff Tony Desmond was there along with State Senator James Seward who said the Safe Act legislation was ill advised and it's not fixing the root of the problem.
Seward says it's the criminal element and what he calls the dangerously mentally ill. He says the Safe Act is only affecting honest people, but proponents say the law respects the interest of sportsmen and legal owners and the right to bear arms.
The law has been put to the test in the courts and a judge recently upheld most of the law, but rejected a portion dealing with large capacity magazines and semi-automatic rifles.
The court battles are not over yet. For Seward and those who oppose the law, they will not stop until the entire measure is repealed.
