"Safe Act" Senator Loses Gun

State Senator Dean Skalos, the politician who sponsored the “Safe Act” in New York, and, under that law, must give up his shotgun and can no longer go hunting. He's charged with extortion, conspiring to commit fraud and soliciting bribes in a corruption scheme also including his son, Adam. But this is not about corruption. It's about being “hoist on his own petard,” since he WROTE the law under which he is now denied ownership of any kind of a gun, without being convicted (yet) of ANYTHING. He is now a victim of his own law! Come to think of it, what is he even DOING owning a gun, being an anti-gun fool? If he's going to go hunting, maybe he should just take along a collection of throwing rocks, if he believes certain people should be denied the right (that is guaranteed under the Constitution) to own a gun, just by being ACCUSED of a crime.
