Albany, N.Y. —
Assemblyman Marc Butler, R - Newport, on Friday announced he’d be participating in a Second Amendment rally and lobby day planned for Thursday, Feb. 28.
The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in Albany, will feature keynote speaker National Rifle Association President David Keene.
The events are as follows:
• Registration and lobbying time: 9 to 11:50 a.m. Registration will take place at the table on the Concourse Level of the office building.
• Rally on West Capitol Lawn: noon.
Attendees will have the opportunity to visit Butler in Legislative Office Building Room No. 318 as well as lobby other legislators about the state Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013.
