Bans all semi-auto pistols and centerfire rifles that have fixed magazine of over 10 rounds

Practically all pistols have removable magazines, the only two I can think of off hand that have a fixed mag are the old broomhandle Mauser and a WWI Austrian army pistol whose name I can't remember. Same thing for many, if not most, centerfire semiauto rifles.

Of course few if any prosecutors and judges would know the difference between fixed and removable mags, so NY owners of hi-cap pistols and rifles of any kind will no doubt be prosecuted by ignorant DAs and convicted by equally ignorant juries for owning guns which are not actually banned according to the description given in the law.
