Gun Owners Refuse to Register Under New York Law

After Democrats in New York rammed a sweeping assault on the right to keep and bear arms through the legislature that failed to exempt police officers from the draconian restrictions, gun owners and even some lawmakers are planning what has been dubbed potentially the largest act of civil disobedience in state history. According to news reports, gun rights activists are urging everyone to defy far-left Governor Andrew Cuomo’s new registration mandate while daring authorities to “come and take it.”

Analysts say the legislation, passed in a frenzy last week in the wake of the Newtown shooting, represents the most brazen infringement on the right to keep and bear arms anywhere in the nation. Among other points, the so-called SAFE Act seeks to limit magazines to just seven bullets, require virtually all of the estimated one million semi-automatic rifles in the state to be registered with authorities, mandate reporting of patients who express indications that they may have thoughts about hurting themselves or others by doctors, and more.

Aside from being unconstitutional, experts on gun violence also point out that the draconian schemes are a bad idea: Studies have repeatedly shown that more guns lead to less crime, and the phenomenon is obvious across America — just compare Chicago or D.C. to Alaska or Wyoming. The mandated reporting requirements for doctors, meanwhile, have come under fire from across the political spectrum. Whether it will even be possible to enforce the bill, however, remains to be seen.

Preparations are already being made for mass resistance. “I’ve heard from hundreds of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,’’ said President Brian Olesen with American Shooters Supply,

Instead, these leftist elitists will probably change the laws like Obama did to provide protection for them and their families for the duration of their lifetimes.

“Protection for me but not for The” is their new motto.

“Take away the SS, Bloomberg’s security, Cuomo’s security, and let’s see how they feel about gun control.”

Rocksalt? LOL If (when) they come, they won’t be coming to shoot rocksalt in your behinds. They’ll be coming to confiscate, arrest or kill (not necessarily in that order).

“Them revenooers are gonna get a lot of rocksalt just like they done got it in thar behinds 80 yearn ago.”

Gaffer, truth2012,

Do you think somebody else egged Adam lanza on?

Then it could indeed be a false flag type operation.

I wonder what was on his AND HIS BROTHERS computers.

We need to take the Marq. de Queensbury gloves off, and hit back with effective tactics. Stop being punching bags for Alinskyites. Ask them if they are "useful" idiots (Lenin's term) or honest Stalinists.

"Don't genocide me, bro!"

Let's see...They voted for oCuomo, what makes me think they will stand up for liberty?

Nothing...

“...Well, not all New York Staters are city boys....” YesSirReee!!! and I have not doubt about that! I guess some communists just need to learn the hard way.

The population centers and a few other weenie counties went Zer0 in 2012. Which leaves around half of the NY land mass voting against him(and around 1/3 by population)Even with POS Romney as the standard bearer.
In a large population state, that's a lot of conservative voters

Lots of country boys still living, shooting, hunting in the Empire State. Though I for one am looking to relocate to a constitution loving state. I have Cowboy Action shooting friends in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico and hope to check those area out (well. Not so much New Mexico )

It is a true story. In 1930`s here the revenue agents came looking for illegal stills on the farms and were driven off by hundreds of farmers with shotguns loaded with rocksalt. They never came back. My mother and relatives, friends, told me that story coz she was as driver for a hooch smuggler from the town in the mountains down to the lakes. My great-uncle also was involved with liquor smuggling down from Canada. He hid all the liquor in a mountain cave and transported it at night. He had a pistol.

We ain`t gonna allow one agent near one house coz we all are armed here and the alarm will be sounded and we will RALLY en masse- You ain`t seen nothin like this since 1775, brother. We are 3,000 strong here all armed to the teeth- I kid you not- not LOL nor LMAO- this ain`t no laughin` matter- If these Cuomonists want war let it start now- let it start HERE. We ain`t scared of these SOB`s nowhere nohow- We are mountain boys and hillbillies and we shoot to kill this time just like 1775.

I think one thing that needs to be re-enphacized is how necessary it is going to be to have alternative communication trees set up in advance if it ever comes to house to house raids.

All of the penguins are going to be standing around about a block away while the raiders are hut-huting around down the street. A little flanking action could prove effective.

Damn straight....time for a million Henry Bowmans to start feeding the pigs

[Hardastarboard]

Entirely fictional. But not for long.

Like Joe McCarthy's comments about Communists in the government - you're not wrong - you're just early.

[unixfox]

The government is preparing for the next civil war.

They should. They have overstepped their boundaries.

It's way past time!

“Paging Henry Bowman. There’s a call for you on the white courtesy telephone. Paging Henry Bowman.”

No need to page him. He's everywhere.

“I would guess Cuomo has set off a migration to red states”

Indeed he has. This new gun law was the tipping point for many. Don’t get me wrong, I love upstate NY, but after 24 years here we’re bailing out as soon as possible.

We’ll most likely find out what trailer park ‘from occupied ga’ lives in and rent something there. Of course, I’ll have to tell everyone that Mrs. panax is my first cousin or half-sister in order to fit in the community.

NYC does NOT represent the balance of the state. In fact, I’ll bet hard money that there are more guns in upstate NY than the entire state of GA.

Thanks djf, great comment. Friendly suggestion for your tagline — second half s/b “Liberal policies force them to stay poor”.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks EXCH54FE.

[dynachrome]

We’ll see how serious people are next year, as the law doesn’t go into effect until then.

[zeugma]

Paging Henry Bowman. Mr. Bowman, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

"But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard JBT shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. "
