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.

Things like when the ban goes into effect for the magazines, etc.
Just said the ten round ban is immediate.
Police will be restricted on how many bullets to carry. He first said they would be restricted, then said they would be exempted when they made amendments
They are making up the rules as they go along.
Marc Butler is doing a good job.
Where are the public hearings, trampling on the Constitution, etc...
Making criminals of law abiding citizens.
This law is turning him into a criminal. He is not going to leave his wife when he has to leave her and the children alone with only 7 bullets in his gun.
I hear what you’re saying, and I understand it. Hell, I don’t want to move to a state that’s full of New Yorkers either. But what most people don’t realize is that there are a lot of New Yorkers who are very conservative, and we’ve been banging our heads against the wall for years. We stay for a variety of reasons - my main reason is that my parents are elderly (I hate writing that) & I don’t know how much longer they’re going to be around. They still live in Central NY (which my conservative father loves), and I want to remain nearby. Right now, they’re a fairly short drive away. But last night’s action really was the last straw for me - planes fly into Central NY too.
A lot of conservative New Yorkers DO try to make a difference. We call & write our “representatives”, we volunteer for conservative campaigns, we attend town hall meetings, we protest (my husband & I drove to DC for the March for Justice in the late ‘90s & the Tax Day Tea Party protest a couple of years ago, we’ve protested locally, and we’re heading to Albany this Saturday for the Guns Across America rally. Which, incidentally, can no longer help NY - but we’re trying to make our voice heard on a national level, for the remaining states that still have a chance.)
I know we all look alike, but please don’t automatically lump us in with the idiots who have destroyed this state. There are more of us than you realize, but we’re dwarfed by the huge population in NYC.
Retailers been consulted?
When does the Guns Across America rally start in Albany?
Hear, hear, Trapped!
I could have written this very post, but in our case, we’re waiting for our oldest to finish one more year in high school.
After that? We’re OUTTA here.

When we decide to take away a right, it's just a matter of time before all our rights are removed.
TIN, I can’t imagine your distress. Trying to weigh your responsibility to your parents against dealing with an out-of-control leftist political structure has got to be an absolute nightmare.
Is there any chance your parents may decide to move, rather than stay in an area where freedom loving people are hopelessly outnumbered?

So a division of the government will determine if we can have guns from the mental health perspective.
If a person is crazy and he doesn’t have a gun the family will be investigated too.
The information will be confidential ( I really believe that one). He’s claiming it will be confidential, but it’s not in the bill that it will be.
There’s not exactly a lot I can do about liberal northerners moving here or any other red state for that matter. It’s sure not perfect here but I think you would like it. Ga, Tx, Tenn lots of great places and some communities are extremely conservative you just have to do a little research.
But, I don’t know, the entitlement mentality is pretty hard to overcome. I’m pretty sure in the next 30 years or so the takers will have their way and I’ll be in the minority here.
The Constitution has been “the peoples” only protection against a tyrannical government and when folks decided it doesn’t say what it says in plain language then that was the beginning of the end of our Republic
According to the Facebook event, the NY rally starts at 12, at the NYS Capitol building on State St. I’m riding a bus up, through an organization I belong to called Long Island Firearms - our original bus is filled so we’re trying to see if we can get enough people together for a 2nd. If you’re on Long Island & interested in riding the bus, there’s info on the LI Firearms website (www.longislandfirearms.com).
This protest is supposed to be occurring in all states on Saturday. There’s a lot of info available on Facebook, for each state.
David DiPietro
4 year old daughter in jeopardy from intruders on drugs that tried to get in his home. He wished he had a larger capacity at that time.
Why do they think criminals are going to adhere to this law.
How often do gun owners have to renew their registration in states other than New York?
“Freshman Republican David DiPietro - very disappointed in the process....”
Whoopeee. Maybe he’ll write a nasty letter or something too.
