MARCH 2020-PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & LEGISLATIVE REPORTS, & SIDEBAR COMMENTS: CHAIRMAN PAUL ANNETTS

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CONCERNS:

1-SPOKE WITH ASSEMBLYMAN K.LALOR’S OFFICE REGARDING WHO LOBBIES ON OUR BEHALF AT THE STATE CAPITOL. 2-Spoke with our Forester and his crew has completed 12 acres of Brawn Hill with 8 acres to go; this covers 2019 and 2020.

SIDEBAR COMMENTS: NOTE: UNDERLINED SECTIONS ADDRESS MAIN POINTS! 1- A new Second Amendment organization established: New York State Firearms Association, 154 Cobblestone Court Drive, PMB 315, Victor, New York 14564-Executive Director Aaron Dorr. (www.newyorkstate firearmsassociation.org.) Starting membership is $35 per year; looks like a very aggressive organization with much of its activity in the Legislative Chambers! 2- Florida Carry Inc. reports: “In a letter sent to every sheriff and police chief in the state, Florida Carry notes,” “despite the well-established right, our members have been repeatedly victimized and deprived of their rights by

2 | P a g e

various law enforcement agencies and their respective officers and deputies. Too many individuals in law enforcement throughout the state have harassed, berated, belittled, arrested, and even killed law-abiding citizens going about their personal business, for simply exercising a constitutionality protected right to bear arms.” “Florida Carry is demanding that frontline law enforcement officers receive proper training in how to react when law-abiding citizens who are simply exercising their legal rights. Further they warned that incidents where these rights are violated will result in legal action, if your officers and deputies do not receive this more thorough and appropriate training and continue to violate our rights, we will respond. We will bring lawsuit after lawsuit until the message is delivered.” 3- According to the Epoch Times: “A New York regulator has filed civil charges against the National Rifle Association (NRA), alleging that the organization violated numerous state insurance laws and deceived its members through its marketing. The New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) announced February 5 that it had served a statement of charges against the gun rights group, accusing it of acting as an unlicensed insurance producer by endorsing and marketing insurance products such as the NRA “Carry Guard” and engaging in unfair and deceptive marketing practices that deceived its members. The charges aren’t confined to the “Carry Guard” program, the DFS said. The regulator alleges that the NRA also offered other insurance products without a license dating back to 2000, including coverage for firearms instructors, gun collectors, gun clubs, gun shows, federal firearms dealers, and other aspects involving firearms as well as life, health, and property offerings for their members. The charges alleged that in total the NRA participated in offering more than 28,000 such policies to New Yorkers and had unlawfully receive royalties of about $1.8 million between 2000 and 2018 on the policies in the state. The DFS is seeking fines and other remedies in their action. A hearing is scheduled for April 16. The NRA sued the DFS and Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2018, accusing them of engaging in a blacklisting campaign that aimed at stopping banks and businesses from doing business with the gun rights group. A federal judge dismissed part of the suit but allow the case to stay alive on First Amendment grounds. The NRA claimed that the state had violated its First Amendment rights by seeking to chill the groups political speech, when Cuomo issued a press release announcing that he was going to direct DFS

3 | P a g e

to urge companies to review the relationships with the NRA and other gun rights groups.” 4- According to AmmoLand.com: “The ATF has issued new rules that will alter the format for Form 4473’s and make it easier to create a national gun registry. The ATF has a software system where they can take the contents of all a dealer’s Bound Book entries by simply capturing them on a thumb drive.” 5- According to Mid-Hudson News: “ Members of the Second Amendment advocacy group 2ANYS are preparing to take legal action against the Rockland County government to end what they consider a conspiratorial practice of denying the concealed carry pistol permit applications of virtually all Rockland residents. The newest chapter 2ANYS has been organized by a coalition of U.S. Army veterans, members of the Orthodox Jewish community, and frustrated residents, who feel their government has denied pistol permits to residents for unconstitutional and frivolous reasons. Spokesperson Stephen Falano stated, we’re not asking for anything radical; were simply demanding that Rockland County comply with the District of Columbia versus Heller decision of 2008. Which the Supreme Court decision stipulated that a person can only be denied the right to carry a firearm if they have been convicted of a felony or received a civil commitment under mental health law. Felano argued that New York’s pistol permitting system is unconstitutional as the county judges have sole discretion over who should receive a permit. In counties such as Rockland, judges can add other stipulations to the application process which results in the law being applied differently to different New York residents. Felano cited HIPA disclosure forms, which allow the state to access a candidate’s mental health records and “mother may I letters”, written statements requiring a candidate to explain to a judge why they would want a firearm license, as illegal barriers to gun ownership. The proposed lawsuit will directly and personally sue the judges handling permitting cases in Rockland and is being organized by attorney James Ostrowski, the man responsible for overturning the first ever SAFE ACT conviction.” 6- According to NYS Senator Mike Ranzenhofer: “Participation in hunting is declining across New York State and much of the nation. This not only has a dramatic impact on conservation funding but also a negative impact on state revenues. It is important that the state examine ways to both attract and retain hunters. The issue of hunters aging out is well documented and

4 | P a g e

it is important for New York State to do all it can to reverse this trend. Expanding crossbow hunting opportunities and loosening ambulatory hunting requirements to provide thousands of willing hunters the opportunity to continue pursuing their passion. Current laws regarding ambulatory licenses, require that license holders need permanent assistance to qualify. That being said, many hunters do not need assistance devices to complete daily activities but are unable to navigate a field or more rugged terrain without assistance. This reality should be reflected when determining who qualifies for these privileges. If enacted, these proposals would help countless hunters. In addition to retaining hunters, attracting new hunters is critical. Lowering the hunting age has long been discussed as the primary way to get youth more engaged at a younger age. While I do believe that reducing the big-game hunting age to 12 would be helpful, hunter apprentice programs should also be examined. Hunter apprentice programs have proven to be an extremely safe and effective way to introduce more youths to hunting in other states. With the state facing a $6.1 billion deficit, I believe there is a tremendous opportunity to advance proposals that are positive for hunters as well as generate much- needed license revenue and conservative dollars for the state. I have shared these opinions with the governor and colleagues in the legislature and will continue to advocate for their adoption. Supporting hunting helps the environment, supports rural communities and provides license revenue for New York State.”

Legislative Report: (Posted in downstairs clubhouse & read at general meeting & Board meeting & posted on Club’s Internet Site, and sent to members with emails registered with Club; report double sided-I ask for no budget and cover costs myself):

Bills are tracked when Legislature is in session from January through June of each year. In the second year of the two-year session, New York State legislators are elected to a two-year term. On the first day of the new session, most of the previous year’s bills, which remain active at the end of the year, will automatically be carried into the new session, with some exceptions: bills not carried over will include (but are not limited to) those that were Chaptered, vetoed, had the enacting clause stricken, or the sponsor is no longer in the Legislature. A bill will retain its bill number assigned to it in the first year of the two-year session. If a bill only passed its own house last year, it must repass that house again in the new session, before it can advance to the other house. In general, all active bills will be referred to the original committee, except for Assembly bills which passed only the Assembly last year; these bills will be reported to the Assembly’s third reading calendar*. *Exception: if an Assembly bill had a “Home Rule Request”, that bill will be recommitted, even if it passed the Assembly. (Legislative Rules.) Bill must pass

5 | P a g e

Senate-then Assembly-then Gov.; while the Legislature is in session, the governor has 10 days, not counting Sundays, to sign or veto bills passed by both houses. Signed bills become law; vetoed bills do not however, the governor’s failure to sign or veto a bill within the 10-day period means that it becomes law automatically. Vetoed bills are returned to the house that first pass them together with a statement of the reason for their disapproval. A vetoed bill can become law if two thirds of the members of each house vote to override the governor’s veto.

S688/Aye/Gallivan/R-Wyoming-Erie-Livingston-Monroe:This proposed constitutional amendment would provide within the New York State Constitution for a right of the people to hunt, trap, and fish. A new Article 20 would be added to the state constitution to ensure the right of the law-abiding citizen to hunt, trap, and fish subject to reasonable regulation by the state. Action: referred to the Attorney General.

A7556/Nay/Rosenthal/D-NYC: Basically, this bill relates to banning the importation, transportation, and possession of certain African wildlife species and products. “According to Safari Club International, in a move that thwarted public input, the New York State Senate pushed through an anti-hunting bill on June 14. The legislation, S 4325, known as the Big Five African Trophies Act, had lain dormant for three months in committee. Out of nowhere, it was pulled from committee and pushed through a full Senate vote in a matter of 72 hours. It will now head to the Assembly where companion bill, A 7556, will likely be taken up in the Assembly. This legislation ignores the benefits that US hunters, including those from New York, bring to African wildlife. African range states have

13 | P a g e repeatedly expressed the desire to maintain the flexibility to use hunting as part of their management strategy for these species. More importantly, they also want to maintain sovereignty over their own wildlife resources. For each of the species listed, the healthiest and most stable populations are in countries with active hunting programs. For example, at least two of the species targeted by these bills owe their recovery to hunting. In Africa in 1895, there were less than 100 white rhinos. Today, according to the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are an estimated 20,000 white rhinos largely in part to hunting programs and the conservation efforts associated with them. Sustainable, regulated hunting programs are responsible for increasing the number of black rhinos from approximately 1, 000 in the 1890s to more than 3,500 today. The IUCN reports that importation restrictions on species targeted by these bills such as the African elephant, black rhino, white rhino and African lion could likely cause serious declines of populations. Nevertheless, the drafters of these bills aimed to impose obstacles that are likely to undermine the conservation of these animals. We respect and share the feelings of the New York State Senate towards wanting to conserve the African species listed. In return, we would hope the elected officials of New York would respect the rights of hunters to engage in a legal, regulated activity with proven tangible conservation benefits to wildlife and local communities. Instead of seeking to criminalize New York’s hunters, members of the Assembly should consider leaving wildlife conservation to the experts or to wildlife managers in the sovereign African countries responsible for these species.” Action: Passed Senate-sent to Environment Conservation Committee.

A7627A/Aye/Woerner/D-Saratoga & Washington: According to the New York Crossbow Coalition, the following changes are suggested: “Changes crossbow to the bow hunting privilege from the muzzleloader privilege. Allows 12 – 15-year- olds to hunt with a crossbow- removes the prior prohibition on 12 and 13-year- olds. Authorizes those 55 years old or older to use a crossbow in a special archery season.

Federal Bills:

SR 204: “US Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has introduced legislation to remove the UN Small Arms Treaty from Senate consideration and send it back to the White House where it can finally be killed. Some of the key provisions are: mandates countries to establish an actual National Control List which is a record-keeping system to track end users of small and light weapons for a

15 | P a g e minimum of 10 years; this is an international gun registry, clearly designated to include detailed information on American gun owners. Other language includes mandatory national screening for those seeking to own guns, giving bureaucrats the final say on whether or not you’re competent enough to own a gun; Restrictive Licensing for gun and ammo sales, and perhaps even bans on certain types of firearms. This can include anything from semi-automatic rifles to shotguns and handguns. Restrictions on the number of guns and amount of ammo any properly licensed individual may legally own; bans on magazines holding more than 10 rounds; and bans on only a firearm for self-defense unless a citizen can somehow demonstrate need and get federal government approval.”
