Aaron Weiss, a law enforcement officer and Iraq combat veteran rose earlier this year to speak out for the repeal of New York’s gun-grabbing “SAFE Act,” which was passed by the New York legislature and signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
After nearly coming to tears while describing the sacrifices he and his friends made in battle to protect the rights of Americans, Weiss issued a challenge to the member of the New York State State Assembly.
“Since voting to take away someone’s rights is totally different than being asked to enforce it, I want you to consider this,” Weiss said. “If you support the SAFE Act so whole heartedly, are you willing to stand with law enforcement members who lead from the front to enforcement? What I mean by that is if a constituent of yours feels so alienated by this law and the manner in which it was passed and they refuse to comply with it, are you willing to stack up on their front door and go in first?”
“I bet if a clause was in this bill that required you, the elected leadership, our elected leaders to go in the door first, I bet you would not be so steadfast,” he concluded.
