Rifles should look nonthreatening. It's appearances, not reality, that matter.
ObamaCare should look nonthreatening. It's appearances, not reality, that matter.
If liberals cared about reality, they would be conservatives.

Simple design tweaks are allowing gun makers to get around restrictions New York put in place following the 2012 school shootings in Connecticut, prompting some critics to say the laws were mere window dressing.
New York lawmakers passed the SAFE Act last year, and announced with fanfare that it effectively banned the sale of “assault weapons.” But AR-15s, the most popular type of guns often referred to as assault weapons, are sold in Empire State gun shops, freely and legally. The gun is being marketed by Stag Arms as a "New York-compliant AR-15," and features a slightly modified stock and no bells and whistles. The gun does not have a pistol grip, for instance - one of the features banned by the act.

The Native Americans on the reservation have had fully automatic assault weapons brought home from Vietnam and also smuggled across from Canada for 50 years.. NO SAFE ACT THERE ON Akwesasne coz it violates NY and federal treaties. The natives are restless.
Laugh now, but the NY gun grabbers will soon figure out a way to use this as an excuse to ban even more weapons. Those SOBs
Look, Ma!
I made a Ruger Mini-14 !
Put a wood stock and foregrip on an AR15 and most libs wouldn’t know the difference.

The standard rule for design is that FORM follows FUNCTION.
Now the Politicians believe they can modify the FUNCTION by ruling against the FORM. No wonder they fail at design work.
Yup - that’s all it takes to make a so-called “assault rifle” perfectly legal.
I don’t give much credence to New York’s governor and state legislators. Their pet law still wouldn’t have stopped Adam Lanza.
The AR-15 can still be legally bought in NY and you don’t even have to register it - once you’ve made the necessary modifications to the firearm.
I think I’d prefer to just vote with my feet.

You mean those aren’t bags under her eyes?
