PS: The 7 round limit goes into effect on April 15, 2013. So, 10 rounds are "less dangerous" between now and April 14th, but "more dangerous" between April 15th and eternity?

Glad I don't live in that crap eating state. I feel for those, who for one reason or another, have to.

The seven round magazines make this a law that does exactly what they said they weren't going to do, a gun grab!

I'm also in Upstate NY. I have my 10/22 in a bullpup stock so it qualifies as an assault weapon too so they think I'm actually going to register it ? I'm waiting to see what happens with the lawsuits that have allready been filed. Wonder what Cuomo would think of the 10,000 rounds of .22 lr in my basement

And just look at CA, NJ, CO proposed laws for this year...
You got it in one (and those who say "it won't happen in my state", keep watching)

There is, of course, an exception for celebrities, and for the extremely wealthy who donate money to the correct political candidates.

The law's new definition of "assault weapon" now includes not only all black-colored rifles, pistols, and shotguns, but also all wooden and plastic canes that are capable of delivering more than one blow without breaking.
A "large-capacity magazine" is defined as any paper-based publication which contains more than ten conservative opinions.

There's more, of course, but you can easily see from these examples that New York State will now be a much safer place to live.
Governor Cuomo warns New Yorkers, however, that if any of them ever cross the line into Vermont, their rights of New York State citizenship will be immediately terminated and automatically revoked.

Hahahaha!! Good one, Steve!!
