A New York City lawmaker's plan to regulate antique firearms like other weapons could have severe economic repercussions for museums and historical societies around the state and prevent hundreds of living history events and re-enactments staged every year.
If passed in its current form, the proposal by Democratic Assemblyman Michael Gianaris of Queens would make the state the first in the country to require owners of antique guns, black powder weapons and muzzleloading firearms to go through a background check and purchase a license, said Ralph Walker, a legislative specialist with the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association.

There are just some states not worth fighting in. Let those liberal bastions live in their happy world. Get out now.
The function of government is to govern. No matter how benign, it is always “them and us.”
This is pure, unadulterated political oppression. There is no rational basis for this legislation beyond the likelihood that it would impact a demographic that doesn’t share the political views of the law’s sponsor.
Yeah. Because SO many Bloods are rollin’ around blasting Minie balls in Crips’ asses. Please.

His father was before him; the two bozos combined make hillary look like barry goldwater. This guy when he was a kid, instead of a gijoe his father gave him a Ted Kennedy doll to play with (Oldsmobile optional, of course).
Move to England, where they embrace and nurture authoritarian jackboots just like you, you dictatorial wharf thug.
More Big Sh*tty liberalism showing its hate of the 2nd Amendment.
Another step toward confiscation.
Government expands to fill every part of the space available and puts extreme pressure on its boundaries.
This is not a theory. It's a physical law.
Just the other day a guy walked into a liquor store near closing time in Chicago and robbed it with a musket. After shooting and missing the clerk, he turned to reloaded. Fortunately, the clerk had turned out the lights, locked up, and was at home by the time the alleged robber cold fire a second shot off. :)
So much for their own argument that the Second Amendment only applies to those weapons in existence at the time of the founding.
Don't worry, Michigan cities are banning airsoft "weapons" because fools paint the yellow/orange muzzles black, making them look fairly real. However, that's a self-correcting problem. You do not brandish a plastic replica, no matter how authentic, without running the risk of being blown away by someone carrying a real weapon, and knowing how to use it.
Gianaris-—What an insane idiot! absolutely no historical perspective - just dumb sheep-like behavior.
What gave you that idea? They stifled themselves in the fall of 2006 to take Congress from the GOP, but that was the exception. Just look at Bloomberg and his campaign against "illegal guns." Look at the banglist. Gun grabbers, mostly utopian donkeys and scheming RINOs, are quite active across the country.
Conservatives are often called reactionaries, but the gun grabbers truly epitomize what it means to be reactionary. They have been going strong - with only a few setbacks along the way since the late 1960s - without any evidence that gun control reduces crime.
Find the latest "if it bleeds, it leads," story. Just wait for the reaction. To get a vote, they must emote. It's sick. It's fear mongering at its most base.
If this crap is going on, they DESERVE it because THEY elected these dimwits to power . Time to take back the country and why not start with Zoo York .

Zoo Jersey is trying to pass legislation to classify “ airsoft “ as a FIREARM which means you have to go through all the bullshit background checks to purchase one .
I’d recommend the book “Enemies Foreign and Domestic” to anyone who has not yet read it.
