New Yorker's say goodbye to AR"S and high cap magazines.

Assault Weapons Ban Vote passed by 43-18 in senate and sure to pass the democratic house and be signed by the tyrannical Governor, with the support of the NY sheeple..I assume they feel safer as of this minute. During the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban homicides sharply rose in it's effect. Columbine, the OK City Bombing, and 10 other school shootings occured during this time period w/ less than 3% of crimes being commited by so called assault rifles and high capacity magazines. I just hope that history won't repeat itself. The cure for NY is that some criminals commit violent acts w/ firearms and the answer is to greatly infringe upon the gun rights of the law abiding populace....No guns for anyone except the military and LE and no problems is the motto.

They got what they wished for. I hope it doesn't turn out as ugly as I think it will.

I'm sure that New York State's new gun laws will make us all much safer.

Particularly, I'd like to call your attention to the provision that declares all non-politicians to be mentally ill, and thus ineligible to possess guns.
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.

Yes indeed, very well put.

Cuomo and the rest of the liberal bunch, oh! wait a minute!! I better be careful what I say here in NY. They might label me insane!!
We already have a 10 round magazine restriction. Changing the restriction to 7 rounds, WOW, three less bullets.
See what happens when you allow liberals to make law. We need the views of liberals, we just don't need liberals to run things!!:smt100

It's odd that they are referred to as liberal, but, by their very nature are extremely authoritarian? I myself view the legislation as unconstitutional.

I am sure that the nice gun shop owners in Vermont will be happy to give them a couple of bucks for those mean black guns if they ever want to sell.

I could only WISH he could further terminate my rights.

For all of the OTHER STATES, "Beware", NYS gives your local and Federal Legislature something to aim for. Don't mistake for one moment, that someone in your state or the WH is reading this new law and how they might apply it to your state.

It's time the NRA, Second Amendment organizations start the ball rolling on taking this up through the Court System to SCOTUS. Lets put the 2nd Amendment and the word "Infringed" on trial. Maybe the majority might see through the Courts how their precious 1st Amendment could be "Infringed" upon as well.

"Liberals" are just another word for Communist. Progressives are the same thing. The Democrat party has moved so far left that they are now in the same league as the Fascists and Communists. Should be an interesting year. 2 questions: How many will flee NY state? Will ANYONE in NY stand up to this? My guess, some and none.

As a New Yorker there just isn't much to be said, the long slide into the abyss continues. To those outside NY, just please don't let this happen in your state, so that I have many options for when I finally abandon this state for freer locales, like many thousands before me. My only consolation is that this seems as good a time as any to get that Wilson Combat Compact 1911 (7 rds, totally legal baby!) I've been jonesing for...

This sort of thing is highly unlikely to happen in my state but still, I am not so naive or ignorant to think it couldn't. We are pretty active here in Virginia in defense of our rights. In fact, this coming Monday is lobby day in Richmond. There will probably be over 1000 fully armed (most openly) citizens converging on the capital and our legislators' offices to voice our concerns for this coming year. We roam through the halls of their office building and sit in their offices while armed. We present our concerns and we tend to be pretty effective doing this.

Bet you can't do this in Albany.

That's why I preferentially use the term "Progressive."

Liberals are never "liberal."
Just ask anyone who resides, or has resided, in Great Britain.

liberals, progressives, authoritarians, whatever. I do not support drug dealers ,homosexuals, pedophiles, murderers or any action that breaks down the fabric of our society.This action is
breaking into the law abiding citizens rights. Here in NY we have already been jumping through legal loopholes for the right to carry legally.I do not necessarily disagree with the whole background and registration checks. But to downsize 10 round mags to 7 round mags is just nuts. There are many New Yorkers who have gun collections that would now have to be altered.This law will be amended in my opinion. Cuomo just wanted his name in neon lights. Cuomo received the backing for the vote only because he holds the budget money as Ransom.. it's all politics.
Cuomo for president . A Man who takes AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Bullshit,,he should leave our gun rights alone and go back to marching with the gays and pedophiles in the NY GAY Parade as he has already done.. I need for my children to view two men grinding on each other so I can explain to my children why are those men dressed funny and kissing and humping each other. Thanks CUOMO. I might be a conservative who believes in the constitution and the bible, and a womens right to have an abortion.

Thy 7 round restriction limits probably 95% of all semi-autos made, including rimfires. My Ruger MKII and 10/22 would now be illegal by NY standards. 10 round would have made more sense as this is exactly the capacity of most rimfire magazines and Glock and other companies already make 10 round magazines to conform to CA laws. The seven round magazines make this a law that does exactly what they said they weren't going to do, a gun grab!

10 rounds was the limit in NYS until yesterday. Any 10 round magazine purchased before yesterday is still legal to possess BUT may only be loaded with 7 rounds. Any pre-ban magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds must be surrendered within 1 year of yesterday or sold out of state.

......however did you notice that the penalty for a violation is a misdemeanor. I think I read that correctly. I love the you can have a 10 rd. mag but can only load 7 in it. One potato, two potato....what a joke.

It's all stupid politics.

how about if I just pull the trigger seven times, :smt071

And I read that there is no exemption for police, so they are limited to 7 rounds as well. Unless the law gets ammended.

They're amending it.

Shows how much thought goes into these laws, no "knee jerk" reaction here. I have so much faith in the elected officials in this country sometimes :smt009

Actually, ACTIVE LEO's are exempt. The amendment is for RETIRED LEO's.

My understanding is that, while the statute's language itself did not articulate an exemption, the "enabling" or "purposing" language which introduced the legislation into both legislative chambers, did. It is this which the Governor apparently relied upon when at least one NY State Sheriff protested that active LEO's were not exempt and Cuomo responded that they were.Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

:smt017:smt017:smt017:smt017Ten round mags are legal, but you can only put seven rounds in the magazine unless your at a gun range then you can load the mag with ten rounds..silliest bit of legislation .you are not allowed ten rounds for home or carry. They must have had a dart board. " ok let's see how many rounds,shoot the dart dummo I, mean cuomo" :buttkick:
