According to the government, only the government police needs high capacity magazines, as why else would he government buy 1.2 billion rounds of hollow tip ammunition? Also drones, armored vehicles, etc., and doing away with the 4th Amendment, etc. They’re not as stupid as they look.
Now would be the time to gum up the legislative works, somehow, and force the Rat enforcers to live by the same rules as are applied to everyone else. Does the GOP not have any power or backbone in NY (rhetorical question).
Everyone in America should be outraged that this got pushed through so quickly, whether or not you believe in gun control. It goes against the very basic idea of representative government. Democrats will keep doing this to ALL OF US if we let them.
You DU lurkers - imagine if Republicans took advantage of a tragedy at an abortion clinic to ram an anti-abortion law through. How would you feel about that?
Cops may also be at a disadvantage in that way too many don't spend enough time at the range once they graduate from the academy and as a result, they are less proficient with a firearm than the civilian who carries.
Not that long ago there was a viable republican check on democrat power in NY. Republicans held the senate my entire life until a few years ago. The former republican upstate has been destroyed by motor voter laws and same day registration. Now all the idiots that can barely drag themselves out of bed in the morning are registered voters.
The seven round limit will mean that many if not most guns are actually banned, not just assault and semi-autos.
