Time will tell the tale.
The NY bill simply could not have passed without votes and help from Republicans who actually controlled the NY Senate at the time.
This is a tough question for the Christian gun owner. Romans 13 and 1 Pet. 2 tell the believer to obey government.
How about in this case?
You can bet your a$$ that buried somewhere in the actual legal language of the bill, or planned for implementation of the law in state agency rules will be a directive to certain business to turn over copies of certain Federal Forms they now hold. Those forms being the Forms 4473 the gun purchasers used when LEGALLY purchasing the guns in the first place. It is the only way they can find out who has what and enforce the confiscation.
FUNY!
“How Many New Yorkers Will Defy The New Gun Law?”
It isn’t safe for us to say, those who live here.
They’d single us out, separate us out, isolate us and make lone examples of us while releasing fictionalized press releases over it.
Yes, Cuomo and his henchmen are that paranoid.
At the very least, people who object to this law can do everything they can to peacefully decline to enable the State to function. They can protest every property tax levy. If they can reduce or eliminate their sales tax levy, they should shop as much as possible online or where sales taxes will not go to New York state. The can defer every possible expenditure. In short, to stop sending money to Albany.
I hope New Yorkers tell Albany go to hell, or minimally ignore the law completely.

In her recent column (”Cuomo shows how to get gun control laws passed”), Her Enlightened Royal Eliteness Maureen Dowd displays her customary abysmal distain for and understanding of the citizens. These are citizens who – despite the best efforts of Dowd and her progressive pals like Cuomo – STILL revere and grasp the significance of the Constitution. They understand that the Founders DID NOT leave us a Second Amendment to hunt. Judge Napolitano points out that the Second Amendment provides a means to shoot at an increasingly out-of-control tyrannical government such as that headed by the likes of Obama and Cuomo.
If these insulated Park Avenue elitists don’t stop pushing their agenda, there is a strong likelihood of a live fire reenactment of the April 19th, 1775 events in Lexington and Concord in our future.
If reports of resistance to firearm registration from NY are correct, Cuomo may have started it.

Memo to self: 1) File Lawsuit, 2) Get injunction stopping enforcement, 3) Put case into appeals, 4) Throw the bums out of office while awaiting trials, and 5) Change law. In the event of a loss on all counts, move out of state or refuse to comply.
Nothing like an ill thought out law to make thousands of honest citizens felons while doing nothing to control the criminal population.
Well, that's quite easy to answer...
Legally licensed and law abiding citizens may or may not defy the law. For arguments purposes, let's call it 50-50.
Not-licensed and non-law abiding people will ALL defy the law. Let's call this 100%.
So, to find out actual numbers, we need to know the ratio of law-abiding to outlaws. Based on the above, if that is 50-50 as well, then 25% will obey, and 75% (half law-abiding and ALL outlaws) will not obey.
Up here in God`s Country we got thousands of weapons brought home by our fathers and grandfathers after WW2 and Korea, `Nam-. We got BAR`s, CHICOM tommy burps from NK`s, AK47`s from `Nam- These SOB`s will face a formidible army of unregistered weapons. I got weapons I bought in 1950`s at the hardware store-as a 14 year old- it was legal in NY State then— never had to register anything then. These Cuomonistas SOB`s will get the unexpected return from my investment.

The term rebel signifies an open defiance of the authorities. The rebellion against this unconstitutional law is more likely to take the form of quiet non-compliance.
Lots of boating accidents...
