I wonder if Cuomo knows so-called assault rifles are banned in NY.
We should go to the original definition of assault rifle, The Sturmgewehr 44. It was a selective fire weapon and paved the way for Kalashnikov’s fine tuning in 47. They were automatic weapons as was the M2Carbine. A semi auto is not by any definition an assault weapon. In NYS the definition includes pistol grip, bayonet lug, and folding stock. Any one of those is allowed. TNT Gunnery in Wantagh NY was charged with after market folding stock additions a few months back. The Ruger mini 14 has never been used by any military in the world yet it is now considered an assault rifle as will the ruger .40 cal carbine. The left will stretch the definition to include any weapon that is not bolt or lever action and carries more than five rounds. They will say that’s all any hunter needs. Confiscation is coming.

When did that happen?
This is bluster from the Prince of Gnu Yak. He will get the sycophantic Legislature to go along and the murder rate here will skyrocket.
It’s apparently not even legal here to instruct someone on how to bump fire. As a freeper once memorably said, the New York State gunshop owner who was fined for this suffered a real first: the abrogating of his 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment rights at the same time.
