So glad I left NYS many years ago

[Ms. Blunt]

Bloomberg/Cuomo making criminals out of law abiding citizens, right and left through Slurpee Big Gulps, smoking, eating, and now guns and magazines. Lookout NY’ers, next they’ll be coming after sex.

“Current owners of such rifles must register them with the state by 2014, and the registration must be renewed every five years.”

Hah!

I assure you that guys aren’t paying $2000+ for AR’s & AK’s in NY right now with the intent to register them by next Jan. 15th.

NY may well be “ground-zero” for CW2.

The most widely reported provision of the law is the total ban on the sale of military-style rifles classified as "assault weapons," effective Jan. 15. The provision forever prohibits anyone other than a law enforcement agency from acquiring such weapons, including the popular hunting and target variants of the AR-15 rifle. Current owners of such rifles must register them with the state by 2014, and the registration must be renewed every five years. This gives the state a list of persons from which to confiscate them in the future, and the five-year renewal provision gives the state an excuse to find ways to deny ownership once every five years...

Echos of NYC. GO back to the late '60's. NYC required all owners of AR-15s to register them with the promise that "The registration list will never be used for confiscation." Now jump ahead to the early '90's and David Dinkins. Dinkins and his city council of left wing statists passed a law that all of the registered guns had to be sold, turned in to police, rendered inoperable or confiscated. About 45 people failed to comply. It turned out that most of these were paperwork errors, but about a half a dozen were stormed by police their guns confiscated and they were arrested.

Yet another reason to despise New York.

There is nothing about safety in the Safe Act. This is not only an infringement but outright intimidation of legal and honest gun owners. Obviously designed to make total government control an easy reality.

[Gritty]

This is the sort of law that would make any tyrant bust his buttons in pride of ownership!

Man, oh, man, am I glad I moved out of NY - but I still find that cold comfort.

Unfortunately, this is the sort of tyranny awaiting all of us if we lose the fight to maintain our 2nd Amendment rights to these fascists. Once the 2nd Amendment rights go, they all go. We can bet the farm on it!
