New York’s Schuyler County Legislature has passed a resolution opposing a bill that some county officials warn is a gun control measure disguised as an amendment to an environmental conservation law.

The resolution, introduced for consideration before the Schuyler County Legislature on May 13, declares that the draft bill—called the “Sporting Range Good Neighbor Act"—is a deceptively named measure that seeks to needlessly and unfairly burden people engaged in the sport of skeet and trap shooting.
