NORWICH – Gun enthusiasts and supporters of the Constitution and the Second Ammendment in particular will gather from noon to 3 p.m. in East Park Saturday to rally in protest of recent changes to New York State gun legislation following the Newtown, Conn. Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo on Jan. 15, the controversial New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013 (SAFE) strengthens the state’s existing assault weapons ban; limits the number of bullets allowed in a magazine; and fortifies rules that govern the mentally ill, which includes a requirement to report potentially harmful behavior, according to governor.ny.gov.
