LIVE FROM NEW YORK!!!

This is why you have to vote republican. Because they will save your guns.

Funny now that those who were telling us to quit panicking because there will be no bans.

Why is it I can always count on you to brighten my day

The gun companies will not relocate. NY pays them big money and lots of kickbacks to stay so the people have jobs. Those companies there are bought and paid for.

 

[lucky4034]

WOW. I read that they are limiting mags to 7 rounds and you cannot even have any in your possession.

Yeah... can't smoke pot either...

**** will get interesting when the Police start showing up to gun ranges

Time to move the Staute of Liberty to Wyoming.

What's the difference between and New York Republican and Mitt Romney? I just HAD to vote for Romney to save my guns.

I'm not sure what your point is? Mitt Romney didn't win nor is he in the NY legislature, neither is the other loser that ran for President.

My Point is the Republican Party isn't the savior they were portrayed as here up until the day of the election. It was the third party voters fault if Obama won. Romney's Massachusetts republican ways were excused because he was anyone but Obama. Now we're told to disregard New York republicans.

It's not surprising or unusual that republicans from heavily liberal states are RINO's. I tend to disregard most republicans from places like CA, NY, MA, IL etc. I don't think anybody believes that republicans from these type of states would save the world.

State Senator Greg Ball(republican)from my district is the only one that had the balls to call it like it is.
To paraphrase what he said....... Our governor was just jumping on the band wagon and pushing this through to make his chances better in his future run for President.
Ball has been standing up for gun owners but can't do it alone.

You must not have read any of the Anybody But Obama posts here. Many didn't give a damn was Romney was about. Many even went so far as to excuse or defend Romney's record to those of us who pointed it out. We were told he was on our side and his past record of a liberal republican in a liberal state was no indicator of how he'd act if elected.

Well, that means the people who run/own the company don't think they need "assault rifles" themselves. From what I have read, this law doesn't grandfather any magazine over seven rounds. I don't know anyone who makes a seven round or fewer AR magazine. I guess so long as the money is good, the powers in these companies will stay. Besides, if they are making really good money, they can afford to buy as many rifles as they want. Instead of dealing with a reload every seven rounds, just pick up a new rifle.

This brings me to another thought: Does anyone see any AR company making a fixed, limited capacity magazine and making it easier to pull out the pin near the buffer to allow people to load the rifle from the top?

did anyone else catch the reference to the Army Corpse of Engineers?

There are five round AR mags made for states that have hunting capacity limitations except were told that these rifles are never used for hunting.

So when the bill talks about "assault weapons" and and magazine capacity, does that go for handguns as well? Because there are a whole bunch of handguns that accept more than 7 round magazines. Just wondering because it gets confusing when they go from talking about the "assault rifles" to "assault weapons."

Handguns are included. 7 is the new magic number. Just to keep it simple, why not just say and firearm patented after 1920 is illegal? Wait, what year was the broom handle Mauser and what was the mag capacity? We might have to back that up to 1912 or something.

I watched him speak on the streaming link I posted in the first post. If they recorded it, you should go out of your way to see it. It is not often you get a chance to feel good about an elected representative. You could see he was sick to his stomach at the sight of those around him.

Considering he had just followed about a half dozen saying why they voted for it, he showeed some real "balls" pun intended. Ms Marchione who followed him showed she had more balls then most of the Men.

You register those mags as C&R, yes you register the mags.

The best way to stay legal now is semi auto shotguns with 7 round mag tubes and a 511 vest with 6 LW revolvers in it.

Or GTFO

 

[miguel]

On a more serious note. Where the hell did they come up with the magic number of 7 rounds? Why not 4 or 9?

That's their idea of "compromise"!

Plus it reassures any of the softy grandpa's that they can keep their 1911s and still keep their grand kids safe to boot. <sniff>

 

[steveh_131]

New York Senate passes tough gun law

Magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds and manufactured before 1994, which are currently legal, would have to be turned over to authorities or sold out of state within one year. If a magazine has a capacity between eight and 10, it would have to be retrofitted to only hold seven rounds.

 

[jfryan]

well what about this part: Stores that sell ammunition will have to register with the state, run background checks on buyers of bullets and keep an electronic database of bullet sales.

These people are insane.

 

[mekinc]

Sounds like a mass exodus should occur.
