New York is a pretty good example of how infringement of the 2nd amendment will be treated. In 2013 the NY state legislature passed the Safe Act which required all “assault weapons” be registered with the state police. Last I read there was like a 90% noncompliance rate.
The idiots who made the laws decreed that no magazines that hold more than 8 shots could be sold. It took a while for those geniuses to figure out that very few magazines had an 8 shot limit. So they ruled that no matter how big the magazine you could only put 8 rounds mag in it. I’m sure that the criminals are complying with that gem.
Most upstate Sheriffs have openly proclaimed that they will not enforce the rules. I have read that the state plans on getting more aggressive enforcing compliance. Best to keep a close eye on how they handle this. Could be a road map for future federal laws.
So correct you are. These laws were passed to placate a rather feeble minded segment of the population, with no regard to getting anything actually accomplished. Cuomo wants to run for Prez, some day.
