The NRA, infuriated over Cuomo's
Safe Act, which is billed as the toughest
gun - control legislation in the nation, is preparing to give the Cuomo / Hochul ticket a negative
rating while backing Astorino.
He was a leader in the effort to pass the NY
SAFE Act, and has persistently supported the strong laws that have contributed to New York having one of the lowest
rates of
gun deaths in the country.
