ROFL! I have yet to see ONE news report of a recent crime committed with so called assault weapons. They're trying to ban semi-automatic rifles on the basis of cosmetic characteristics. How pointless is that? It shows how little liberals know about firearms.

I own a pre-ban Colt AR-15 and a Chinese made AKM. Both are assault weapons in NY. Add to that my Browning Hi-Power (mag holds 13 rds)which was perfectly legal when I bought it. Under the OLD law, I couldn't sell or dispose of my firearm (unlike the Fed statute). The grandfather provision was for ownership only. Now the Hi-Power's in the mix. Guess I'll be leaving this hole for good by Apr 06. And I won't register anything even if I stay.

If it makes existing firearms illegal, there is a point
