this might help Cuomo get the Dem nomination in 2016.
But there’s no way it helps him win the presidency. States like Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina are not going to vote for the guy who crafted the most draconian anti-gun laws in the nation.
It might make the flaming libs in New York City (and California and DC) happy, but it won’t fly in the rest of the country...
Congratulations!
Be sure and tell your mama. And your daddy. And your aunt and uncle.
Actually when you tell your mama and daddy you will be telling your aunt and uncle.
It’s hard to sympathize with the people of New York, and more specifically those who reside in New York City and Albany. They think they’re smarter than the rest of the country and look down on everyone else. Yet, they vote for one liberal after another, have tanked their state economy, and it’s apparent they’re willing to roll over like dogs when their constitutional rights are at stake.
Save your receipts. How do you prove you bought them prior to the law.
Call this law: "How to create a Black Market".
This is as stupid as outlawing lead fishing sinkers.....but the "cops" and/or conservation officers can look at your line anytime they want.
Wow, Lexington & Concord II may happen in NY first!
The stories I have read say that 10 round mags would be illegal. No grandfathering at all. You would have to sell them out of state.
Apparently they don’t care about massacres in other states...
Looks like a lot of weapons and magazines will be making a move out of NY in the next few days. Gun lockers in nearby states?

thank you - and let me repeat it in case he didnt hear
Who is going to contest it?
NY already had strict laws.
I don’t recall a constitutional battle over them.
Hopefully a lot of gun mfgs will be right behind them...
What’s that mean?
That means that people who have lawfully owned handguns in New York must all now come hat in hand and bow before the sharia of the Hudson. If you don’t meet the standards of Kim Jung Andy, you lose your permit and you lose your guns.
All that’s been said on that count is that permits must now be issued under a uniform statewide standard. That raises the question of whose standard will become statewide?
Will it be the standard of Wayne County, where concealed-carry permits take about a month to process? Or will it be the standard of Monroe County where those same permits take as long as a year and a half to come through? Or will it be Onondaga County where you wait a year and are uniformly denied the right to carry the gun for self-defense?
Or will the new New York State standard be the standard of New York County, where no permits are issued to the general public whatsoever?”
For those of you who think “registration” is no big deal, If this is enacted they will use “registration” to CONFISCATE the hand guns of legally “registered” law abiding citizens. Why? Because they know exactly who has which guns and where to find them.
Will they confiscate the guns of criminals? NO! Why?
CRIMINALS DON'T REGISTER THEIR GUNS.
CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY GUN LAWS OR ANY OTHER LAWS THEY DON'T WANT TO.
It is time to rethink some things. Since the gubmint is determined to make law abiding citizens criminals, maybe it's time to consciously become criminals by not obeying any unconstitutional laws. Also disobey laws that might put you and your family in danger.
Why obtain a cc license if by doing so, you are just telling the gubmint where to go to get it whenever they want to. You would be better off obtaining an illegal gun they won't know about.
I have a legally owned UNREGISTERED assault rifle, (what used to be one under the old rules). Will I ever register it if they pass a law saying that I have to, absolutely NOT!
It does not have a detachable magazine. I understand that it can be converted to accept one. I previously never saw the need to do that, but now I am going to. I intend to buy magazines that will exceed NY’s new gun law. I have toyed with the idea of purchasing a large amount of ammunition, now I see the need for extra ammo and will be purchasing it shortly.
Sadly it appears that the circumstances envisioned by The Framers (2nd amendment) of a time when a citizen militia may again need to wrest power from a tyrannical federal government are here or soon will be. Citizens be prepared. Don't be caught taking a box cutter to a gun fight. Gun owners, don't be caught taking only a 7 round magazine to that gun fight either.
The time to arm yourselves is NOW, before it's too late.
A small point. Jefferson and Washington were not Yankees. New York City and Boston were occupied and essentially prison cities. Much of the fighting took place in the South.
Not all of us are doing nothing. But—we seem to be helpless. Last Tuesday evening I emailed my State Senator and Assemblyman about these issues. I got an autoreply from the Senator. That’s all so far. They both are Republicans. My wife has one more year to work. Indiana is lookig really good right now.
