It requires owners to register an estimated 1 million guns previously not classified as assault weapons by April 15, 2014, though law enforcement officials acknowledge they don't know exactly how many such guns New Yorkers have.
The assault weapon definition also applies to some shotguns and handguns .....
wait... you have to register EXISTING GUNS???
I would like to see them line up the gangbangers to take down their names...
Devils like Cuomo do not consider ‘banning and regulating’ to be infringing? ... No, they know what they’re doing is unConstitutional but they also know why the pirate Roberts was placed ont he court with Kagan and Sotomayor.
Gee are the criminals, illegal aliens, terrorists and mentally ill people having these weapons registering them or is it just law abiding citizens who legally purchased these firearms?
DON'T DO IT
NY has a history of using registration lists for confiscation lists later.
Makes me glad I live in a free state, but it makes me sad that this is happening in America.
Cuomolini is expanding his confiscation list.
He noted in Mass, gun ownership has fallen to 1/8th of what it was via all the laws in the Peoples Socialist Republik, because people got tired of the hassle and gave-up.
I'd love to see the real numbers on that, i.e. did people go underground with their ownership, or did they leave the State
It could be one reason Mass is so Blue, any Conservative with a brain left...
I could be coming to NY as well, this could be the last straw for many, to sell and get the Hell out of that Socialist Cesspool..
Lots of unfortunate boating accidents happening right now around Lake George, I suppose.
I would bury mine in cosmoline before I registered it.
I have lost all my guns anyway in a boating accident, the boat turned turtle and I lost every gun I have in 100 feet of murky swamp water.
Its awful.
One notes that the Ruger line of 10/22 .22LR rifles has a telescopic sight and a detachable magazine, making it an Assault Weapon. Sorry, kids.
Us`n Adirondack Mountain Boys will gladly register all our bullets here straight out of our guns.
Line up sheep. The rail cars are waiting.
I would never live in NY, but if I did, I would move out of the state before the required registration date.
Bye, Bye, Bye. Fascists.
Hello Freedom. Before they restrict crossing the border to the remaining Free America.
Any news source covering the long lines of gun owners flocking to register their weapons, in order to comply with the new law?
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!?
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.
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!”
