N.Y. Lawmakers Adjust Gun Law in Predawn Vote


      Criminals and long term outdoor Sportsmen and hunters in New York State or elsewhere should just ignore this and any other new gun control legislation. If nobody knows, nobody cares. Simply keep a low profile and forget about your guns and the law. Besides, you are under no obligation or duty to obey any law that conflicts with the Bill of Rights or is unconstitutional. In addition, you don’t need a lawyer to figure it out either because the fourth amendment is written in plain English. If enough real Americans are like-minded on this issue you will have a quiet rebellion and there is nothing anybody could do about it either. So there!

    • Funny how things can be railroaded through in the middle of the night. Of course most actions done in the middle of the night tend to lean towards being illegal.

    • So under NY State’s new gun law, if I’m a licensed handgun owner and possess 8 rounds in a magazine, then I become a criminal.

      Turning law abiding citizens into criminals over something arbitrary is truly nuts and defies common sense.

      And this may be illegal legislation since 7 round magazines don’t exist at the moment.

      I’m sure the gang-bangers in the Bronx and Mount Vernon NY are going to shake in their boots about having to comply with this new “tough gun law.”

    • Why are retired police officers a protected, privileged class? If “large” (according to Cuomo’s arbitrary standard) capacity magazines are so dangerous, why is it ok for retired police to have them? Because they have training? Well, the relative “danger” or “safety” of a firearms magazine has nothing to do with training. The only justification for a capacity restriction that has ever been proffered is to keep them out of the hands of crazy people and criminals. Isn’t it possible that a retired police officer could commit domestic violence or have an unhinged family member a la Adam Lanza? So, training is irrelevant and, in any event, many, many citizens who were never in law enforcement have more training that most cops.

      This is political pandering and cronyism at its worst, and is yet another clear indication that Cuomo’s SAFE Act is nothing more than feel good, do nothing, smoke and mirrors legislation.
