SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Tuesday is the next -- and last -- big deadline within the NY Safe Act, and many gun owners plan to defy it by not registering their guns under the state's new definition of assault weapons. One columnist in Forbes writes as many as 1 million gun owners in New York will not register their guns as assault weapons.

(sorry in advance for the profanity);

Profanity is appropriate at times. This is one of the times.

Some of us have family commitments and/or business interests that are not easily moved to a free state.

Understood, but I lived there for several years, and finally had enough. I had no family there, but both my wife and I were employeed. We packed up and headed to GA and have been happy with the decision (note Lindsey was mayor when this happened.)

Contacts inside who will say "no" are an invaluable asset

I suspect that most of those who'll say "no" are already gone.

Lonsberry sold out:

YOU WON, ANDY, I REGISTERED MY AR-15

By Bob Lonsberry
lonsberry.com

Well, Andy, with a handful of minutes to spare, I have complied with your law.

Your hateful, unconstitutional affront to my rights.

After a year of thinking it over, of going back and forth, of deciding where duty and honor called me to be, this is where I am.

I am ashamed to say that fear was one of the factors in my decision. I am a public person, it is well known that I own an AR-15. I wrote a newspaper column about it when I bought it 20 years ago. I have talked about it on the radio, on television and in web broadcasts ever since.

Further, I’ve got a Democrat district attorney – whose election I opposed – and half the cops in town hate me. So if I don’t register today, there’s a good chance I get arrested tomorrow.

And with five kids still at home, I can’t afford to be the test case.

I’d be a felon, I’d lose my job, I’d lose my house, I’d lose my right to vote and own guns.

And you’d win.
