the sooner they do this the better to the current supreme court can shoot it down for the unconstitutional garbage it is.
btt
There. Fixed it.
“Most New York City gun crimes involve weapons illegally brought into the state, state and city officials say.”
Of course this is true, everyone knows there are no guns in NYC.
Since this is being rushed through as a response to Sandy Hook, I'm sure they'll explain to the citizens of their state EXACTLY how these laws would have prevented the Sandy Hook killings, right?
I mean, if they wouldn't have stopped Lanza, then this would just be naked political opportunism, wouldn't it?
“I’m very excited about it.”
The jerk. I hope he gets primaried out.
“I’d like to know how some brainiac came up with seven rounds as a limit. “
That “brainiac” is smarter than you think:
That is as close to a defacto semi auto gun ban as you can have with out coming right out and saying so.
But not the PEOPLE!
Closed Door session so they can't hear what the people say.
It's an outrage that the NY State Republicans are agreeing to this rushed bill that won't do a thing for stopping incidents such as Sandy Hook. It will only try to make felons of law abiding citizens that have exercised their right to keep and bare arms.
While I suppose it is callous, I do somewhat lack sympathy for gun owners in NY state. They already put up with very onerous nonsense. To expect it to end short of outright confiscation is fantasy. I imagine some of them can’t move for various reasons, but I never even considered looking for a job in that state because of the gun laws.
I beleive this is unconstitutional on a Federal level.
I beleive this is unconstitutional on a State level as it is in violation of the State Consititution .
This is another “Ram.., ..Bam , thank you Ma’m “ emotional legislative reaction to get Cuomo higher in the Dem’s list for potential candidates for the next Presidential election.
It is a sign of leadership failure .

Which will do absolutely NOTHING that the more than 10 thousand current state & local gun laws already on the books can't do.
But hey.....it feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels good.
Can you elaborate? All mine hold more than 7, but you could make 7 shot magazines by plugging the bottom end. Most who have ever duck hunted have plugged their 5 shots to hold 3.
sad part is that many have already lost their guns in boating accidents
All you people out there that think "something just has to be done to help stem the violence, blah blah blah"...had just better realize this. All those prescriptions you got for Ambien, Trazadone, or Valium, ANY painkillers at all, or Ritalin for your kids - anything that makes you drowsy, changes your mood, metabolism (e.g., diet pills) ARE going to be logged into Obama's ACA (AKA ObamaCare) medical database, and these freedom-taking bastards will disqualify you for Guns, and likely for many other things they find out they don't like.
You have been warned!
Seeing as the Gestapo in the federal government use the interstate commerce clause to twist and distort the constitution at every turn then tell me why this ban is not a direct affront to interstate commerce?
Just ran into our local NRA rep in town and he told me that inside sources say that Cuomo’s bill is going to limit folks to 10 guns.
Waiting for his email and will post link when received.
