New York passed the toughest gun control laws in the nation last week. The SAFE Act called for a new assault weapons ban, among other measures. Over this past weekend, New York State Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin revealed other measures that were removed from the final bill that was eventually signed into law.
These 15 measures were pulled from the final bill:
1. Confiscation of "assault weapons"
2. Confiscation of ten round clips
3. Statewide database for ALL Guns
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder's information to be replaced to the public
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than 5 rounds or pistol grips as "assault weapons”
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to 5 and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines
7. Limit possession to no more than two (2) magazines
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years
11. State issued pistol permits
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons
This list reveals that gun control advocates were pushing for even harder measures to be included in the bill. But what is most telling is that these advocates were calling for confiscation of so-called "assault weapons" as well as the confiscation of magazines over five_rounds, which would be almost all magazines. Another point to note is that these measures also called for a "database" or registry of all firearms in the state as well as a fee-for-licensing as well as registering.
A Democrat in the assembly urged McLaughlin not to share this list as it would serve to "dampen compromise."(continued)

That’s for next month or year.
I hate every single one of these. Yet I’m sure the would-be fascists will try again and again to get their wet dream through.
These and more will pass after the next school shooting.
It’s time for New Yorkers to get their collective act together and challenge the new law in court. Then start a recall petition for every legislator and the Governor that signed on to this debacle. New York, take back your state!!!
As much as I hate to cite Slick Willy as the stereotypical 'stopped clock twice a day' blah blah blah, he said it himself (for his own reasons): those of us out here live in a different world than those who sequester themselves in the halls of power and wish to lord over us from On High.
New York City is a place where you can buy anything you want if you can pay the price. These restrictions would only expand an underground firearms market that already flourishes.
I've seen this list several times now, and this one item is stated exactly the same each time. It's so badly written, that I only half understand it.
What are ya’ll worried about? Gaff-a-day Biden has already said they don’t have enough time to prosecute all these new laws, so no neeed to worry! /s
Mr. Biden is already making noises like he’ll be running for president in 2016. No, I’m not kidding.
What chu talkin bout Willis? Gaff-a-day Biden already thinks he IS President. At a rally a couple of days ago he said, “I am proud to be your President”. I am not chittin you.
You’re doing better than me...I don’t understand it at all! :-D
We can't deny the enormous amount we have lost as a nation, but we must also see that there is still remnants of that greatness that has survived. That part of our culture must find a new way to expand the power of that ideology. We are living in a post-constitutional era. We have been losing ground for decades, and must realize we need new strategies to have any chance.
We face a tyrannical government that has a powerful media network behind it that reaches more viewers than all other media. They are threats to our liberty the same as any politician, or any force willing to follow unconstitutional orders against innocent American citizens.
Our society is full of people who are extremely ignorant about the Constitution. It's something that affects all levels of our society. It's a problem with our politicians, law enforcement, and military personal just like it is with the rest of us. Most of these people are intelligent, but have never been educated in a meaningful manner on the subject.
A lot of us admittedly have a lot more to learn when it comes to the Constitution, and have taught ourselves almost everything we do know. Most of us can think back to when we had some very ignorant views, or didn't have an opinion on some issues that we see as a very irresponsible position now. I know there are some who have been well educated and/or interested in the Constitution from a very young age, but they are unfortunately an exception to the rule. It's more of a failure of society overall, and an intentional strategy to erode it's meaning by those who oppose it.
We can only do so much now. Some people, across the age spectrum, have been waking up to the truth recently because of recent events. Unfortunately some will never wake up.
I know there is a lot I still need to learn. I know that without taking a personal interest in learning about the Constitution I wouldn't know much of what I do now as well. I think an effort to teach people in a respectable way is something that should be worked at. There are intelligent people out there who are in positions to defend the Constitution, but who know little about it. Many can be reached.
There are many law enforcement members who are not given adequate training with firearms, or the laws they are meant to enforce. They must either teach themselves, or end up like many do in a situation where they look bad. Increased training with firearms, Constitutional training, and a much more in-depth study of the laws they will enforce would be a great example of getting something positive done at one of the many levels of government that need help. Especially when it comes to gun rights, and other situation that could go bad if some LEOs aren't sure about the law.
Starting over from the ashes of our monstrosity of a government, and starting anew is probably the only way we could even have a chance to work everything out on a larger scale. Our education system needs a K-12 in-depth study of our Constitution among other things.

New Yorkers, with few exceptions (but there are some!), have happily embraced their own subjugation; they much prefer safe slavery to dangerous freedom.
Except that Hurricane Sandy demonstrated that even safe slavery is dangerous.
Recall the tales in the aftermath of people trying to defend themselves from the feral looters, using machetes and archery equipment.
I suppose my old Marlin Glenfield Model 60 with its 17 round tube magazine (.22LR) is now considered an assault weapon. I received this rifle in 1962 for my 16th birthday. That’s when I graduated from a pellet gun to a 22.
