ALBANY (CBSNewYork) – The New York State Legislature was poised Monday night to pass the first gun control measure following the Newtown school massacre. This as the vice president was set to unveil federal proposals to end gun violence on Tuesday.

Albany lawmakers have reportedly ironed out the kinks, allowing them to enact new gun control measures in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting. Assuming the new bill passes — it was sent to both house of the Legislature on Monday night — it will turn into the toughest set of gun control laws in the country. ...

The new state legislation will:

* Limit ammunition clips to seven. It’s now 10

* Force gun owners to renew their licenses every five years

* Stiffen penalties for using a gun in the commission of a crime

* Stiffen penalties for bringing a gun on school property

* New restrictions on the assault weapons already owned by New Yorkers

“They will be basically not permitted to be transferred. They will be grandfathered in but not in terms of a transfer. There will be a registry,” Silver said.

Stiffen penalties for bringing a gun on school property

That will help stop school shootings!

[fortheDeclaration]

Because the Jews didn’t leave ‘armed’ they were led out by the Lord, who fought for them. (Ex.14:14).

He isn’t speaking of those who oppose it.

"“The new state legislation will:

"Limit ammunition clips to seven. It’s now 10."
And that will do what? And what is a clip to you pussy dumbasses? You dipshits amaze me in your absolute fear of anything that shoots.

"Force gun owners to renew their licenses every five years."
And even with those requirements, they will still have guns. What a stupid requirement. You registration morons don't get it. The bad buys don't register their weapons and never will. They buy them in the back alleys.

"Stiffen penalties for using a gun in the commission of a crime." Really? Those laws have been on the books for years in every State. Again, idiots.

"Stiffen penalties for bringing a gun on school property."
Great idea. And while you're at it, make sure your Gun Free Zone sign includes the words, "We Are Defenseless - Kill us Now".

"New restrictions on the assault weapons already owned by New Yorkers."
No worries...geeze you people are beyond stupid. "They will be basically not permitted to be transferred. They will be grandfathered in but not in terms of a transfer. There will be a registry,” Silver said."

How old are you Silver? What 10 maybe 12 years old? You really think this is how it will work? 300 million guns are not going away. Grow up.

Every one of you anti self-defense controlling dumbasses need to have an intrusion in your home. You need to experience a home invasion and watch the bad guy put a round into your belly as you bleed out. I'm sick of you liberal asswholes. I hope you get one or two in the stomach and lay on floor feeling the pain as your blood builds within your liberal body.

Fury, I’ve searched and searched and can’t find the “who voted for this” information. Could you please send me a link?

This as the vice president was set to unveil federal proposals to end gun violence on Tuesday.

Isn't the administration's preferred phrasing "common sense proposals to end gun violence?" Why not go all the way?

http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/9874/showrashi/true armed: Heb. חִמֻשִׁים וַחִמֻשִׁים [in this context] can only mean “armed.” (Since He led them around in the desert [circuitously], He caused them to go up armed, for if He had led them around through civilization, they would not have [had to] provide for themselves with everything that they needed, but only [part,] like a person who travels from place to place and intends to purchase there whatever he will need. But if he travels a long distance into a desert, he must prepare all his necessities for himself. This verse was written only to clarify the matter, so you should not wonder where they got weapons in the war with Amalek and in the wars with Sihon and Og and Midian, for the Israelites smote them with the point of the sword.) [In an old Rashi]) And similarly [Scripture] says: “and you shall cross over armed (חִמֻשִׁים)” (Josh. 1:14). And so too Onkelos rendered מְזָרְזִין just as he rendered: “and he armed (וְזָרֵיז) his trained men” (Gen. 14:14). Another interpretation: חִמֻשִׁים means “divided by five,” [meaning] that one out of five (חִמִֹשָה) [Israelites] went out, and four fifths [lit., parts of the people] died during the three days of darkness [see Rashi on Exod. 10:22]. — [from Mechilta, Tanchuma, Beshallach 1]

My senator is Michael Ranzenhofer (NY District 61) and he voted against this bill, but there were enough Republican senators willing to vote for this unconstitutional bill to pass it by a 43-18 margin, betraying their constituents!

They haven’t been free for a long time.

[palmer]

congratulations to all the pro bammey anti Romniacs....

What exactly does that have to do with NY State?

[MDspinboyredux]

“Rep. Stockman of Texas is the other ‘George Washington’ of our day..”

Wow, I could’ve lived my entire life and never expected anyone to make that comparison.

[LibertyLA]

A huge number of legal gun owners in NY State will now be criminals. They can’t use the gun because there are no 7 round clips. This endless ‘making of law’s makes everyone a criminal for something. Easier to round us up if we are all criminals.

Anyone thinking we aren’t in a tyranny now is absolutely nuts.

And, in case you are wondering, the patriot act wasn’t made for muslims, it was made for getting rid of conservatives. We have, very patriotically, sown the seeds of our own destruction.

[rfp1234]

Brilliant. So the Newtown killer would only have shot 14 kids instead of 20?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks FR_addict.

[ImNotLying]

OH NO! You’re going to ban bats? You mean there will be no more baseball in New York? I never thought I’d see the day! Guess now it will be the “Tampa Yankees” and the “Minneapolis Mets”.

I believe the above link is the bill the NYS Senate has passed. All full capacity mags are banned, even those produced pre-94. Pump action rifles that accept detachable mags are now assault weapons. There is also a section on criminal possession of a firearms being having more than 10 guns but I may not be interpreting that correctly. Nasty stuff that make law abiding gunowners the scapegoats for the actions nutcases. What a freaking disgrace.

[Graybeard58]

Thanks, the KJV is all I've ever known. There is a significant difference between, "armed" and "harnessed".

[mosesdapoet]

None of those proposed NY state laws will have any effect on gang shootings which is the real problem. And neither do the subsequent 100+ comments from FRs. That’s the power the MSM has over the discussion. Which is why there’s a reference to ghouls in my posting #14.

The sad thing is posting a direction such as #14 which puts the “Libs” on the defence gets completely ignored and subsequently we lose the issue . .
