Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C-East Aurora) will be addressing the audience at the #NY2A rally at West Capitol Park in Albany on Thursday, February 28, 2013. The rally will be the culmination of a day-long legislative lobbying effort, where Second Amendment supporters can meet with their state representatives. The rally will feature numerous New York State officials along with many Second Amendment advocacy groups.

“The purpose of holding a rally like this is to show Gov. Cuomo and everyone who voted for this unconstitutional bill that we are an irate, tireless minority bent on protecting the Second Amendment rights our nation’s Founding Fathers wrote into the Bill of Rights. At the onset of the American Revolution, when only a minority of colonists believed in independence, those who did preached the values of liberty and freedom and appealed to those yearning to be free. From a minority a majority was born and so was our nation. In that spirit, we will work together to ensure that the rights of law-abiding citizens are not infringed upon and the founding principles of our nation are preserved,” DiPietro said.
