Key measures of New York's tough new gun law kicked in Monday, with owners of firearms now reclassified as assault weapons required to start registering the firearms and new limits on the number of bullets allowed in magazines.
As the new provisions took effect, New York's affiliate of the National Rifle Association planned to file a court request for a federal injunction to immediate halt to the magazine limit.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls those and other provisions in the state's new gun law common sense while dismissing criticisms he says come from "extreme fringe conservatives" who claim the government has no right to regulate guns.
"Yes, they are against it, but they are the extremists and the extremists shouldn't win, especially on this issue when it is so important to the majority," Cuomo said in a radio interview last week. "In politics, we have to be willing to take on the extremists, otherwise you will see paralysis."
New York's new gun restrictions, the first in the nation passed following December's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, limit state gun owners to no more than seven bullets in magazines, except at competitions or firing ranges. (Read the rest)

Any FReeper here lives in New York?
lol
when they were in the minority... it was important for Government to protect the rights of minorities from the whims of the majority.
now that they are in the majority (debatable) they now claim that “In politics, we have to be willing to take on the extremists, otherwise you will see paralysis”
so which is it Nanny Bloomberg!?
In Konnecticut we have until, I think October to register, but we can start any time - NO ONE I know of has rushed down to do the deed.
SCREW THEM - massive non-compliance. You want to check for yourself, Gov'nor? GET A WARRANT.
Any news source covering the long lines of gun owners flocking to register their weapons, in order to comply with the new law?
....................
This is an excellent time to collect data on how many gang bangers will comply with the new law.
Oh, wait, they only use .22 single shot bolt actions, so never mind.
Agree .... Now to save what we have left as we try to reverse the damage done by the left.....
Doom on em....
There has never been a more apt time to walk with our money. If you live in New York state, LEAVE.
Cease purchasing anything that originates in this communist hellhole.
Quit doing business with anyone based there. And let them know why.
It’s time to shrug, but shrugging is anything but easy.
RESIST with everything you have.
No stay there. You wouldn't like here it in "fly over country." New Yorkers inevitably bring their attitudes with them, befouling every place they settle. They're like plague rats bringing the plague of liberalism wherever they go.
You don’t need to comply if you lost your guns in a tragic boating accident
As written:
“Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls those and other provisions in the state’s new gun law common sense while dismissing criticisms..”
.
As it should be written:
“Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls those and other provisions in the state’s new gun law Common Sense™ while dismissing criticisms...”
As part of their 2014 Congressional Election strategy to rebrand themselves as problem solvers, the term Common Sense™ should now be considered a registered trademark of the Democratic Party. As such, everytime the words “common sense” are used by a Democrat, the words should be capitalized and the trademark superscript added.
As a consequence, when the phrase “It’s just common sense!” or some similar phrase it is uttered by a Democrat, it should be translated as “It’s just Democratic Party liberal doctrine!”
I see a lot of boating accidents in the near future in New York.
Prelude to dictatorship.
Bolsheviks! Get out! Do it now before they brick up a wall!
BTTT!
We don’t follow un Constitutional laws down here in the holler. We go on living our lives until the day they make the unfortunate decision to come around. Then we tell them to stuff it where the sun don’t shine.
Lucky you. For family reasons, I have to stay in a people’s republic for a couple more years.
>>You want to check for yourself, Gov’nor? GET A WARRANT. <<
You have made me laugh. What in the hell makes you think they will believe they need a warrant for. They overrode the Constitution and you people sat on your ass. The Dept of Just Us won’t bother with getting warrants when they know you are already on your knees.
