From the numbers I have seen, only 3000 to 5000 have registered in NY. It’s hard to tell if that is a real number because the state is very tight lipped about this. I guess it is better to hide abject failure and declare victory than to admit Cuomo is a failed tyrant and the people have peacefully revolted.
I think the only people that registered are the handful of true believers in gun control, those that are high profile and publicly known to own the weapons and those that have acquaintances that would turn them in for the reward if they didn’t.
BTW - If the offending firearm has been disassembled does it make it legal since it does not have the offending feature. i.e., remove the pistol grp. It seems that there are companies replacing pistol grips with alternative. Would removing it do the same? I see a niche business opportunity is creating quick replaceable evil features. Grip on.... grip off.....
YOU WON, ANDY, I REGISTERED MY AR-15By Bob Lonsberry
lonsberry.comWell, 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.
