Key measures of New York's tough new gun law kicked in Monday, with owners of firearms now reclassified as assault weapons required to start registering the firearms and new limits on the number of bullets allowed in magazines.
As the new provisions took effect, New York's affiliate of the National Rifle Association planned to file a court request for a federal injunction to immediate halt to the magazine limit.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls those and other provisions in the state's new gun law common sense while dismissing criticisms he says come from "extreme fringe conservatives" who claim the government has no right to regulate guns.
"Yes, they are against it, but they are the extremists and the extremists shouldn't win, especially on this issue when it is so important to the majority," Cuomo said in a radio interview last week. "In politics, we have to be willing to take on the extremists, otherwise you will see paralysis."
New York's new gun restrictions, the first in the nation passed following December's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, limit state gun owners to no more than seven bullets in magazines, except at competitions or firing ranges. (Read the rest)

IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I COULD EVER MAKE, PERIOD.
I ended up selling my AK-47 to a Retired Cop in New York, simply because I didn't like the idea of being on an Assault Weapons Rifle owners list.
Now I am the proud owner of a CA Compliant AR-15, and guess what the Commies up in Sackofshitmento want to do? You guessed it, Register those as well. Apparently they have issues with “removable” Magazines, even if you need a Tool to do it. They never imagined someone would invent a Bullet Button.
You can't keep up with a Commie that has nothing to lose.

Don't be a jerk:
"...you people sat on your ass..." - you have no idea what you're talking about. WE didn't sit on our butts and just let it happen, anymore than you did (or did you?).
We are still a nation of laws (just barely) - but while the courts are still working (just barely) we cannot just start a shooting war - it may be getting close, but we are not there yet.
If you think you are, then get on with it - or are you just "talkin'"?
Yes, that's the general idea of not allowing a 4473 database.
I live in NY (Long Island), and what I’m hearing is a mixture of the idiot lib nonsense I’ve heard my whole life (”Only police should have guns.” “Why does anybody need 150,000 bullets in a gun?”), and more normal people who are HOPPING MAD. A good many of the “hopping mad” crowd are policemen.

More of ‘us’ should take note.
Georgia’s Senators Chambliss and Isakson just voted to allow the Senate’s gun registration and infringment bill to the Senate floor.
Aren’t they representative of Georgian peoples politics, too?
Unfortunately to a certain extent you are correct. The liberal to conservative thought process isn't a strict dichotomy, but a sliding scale. If you rank GA senators on a scale ranging from liberal to conservative they would hit somewhere in the middle. The NY Senators and Reps go about as far to the left as the scale goes. If you look at the GA house reps, the black democratic gerrymandered districts are about as far to the liberal end of the scale as you can get. But we actually have a majority who could be considered conservative.
We have a crop of home grown (city) and imported from the northeast liberals here who account for the less than perfect score. In particular, GA has suffered in the last two decades from and influx of people from places like NY, NJ, MA, etc. who moved here because of the available jobs. What they immediately started doing upon arrival is trying to make GA just like the places they moved to get away from. Or to put it another way. they sh!t where they ate and had to move and promptly started sh!tting where they ate again
>>We are still a nation of laws<<
You have got to be kidding, not even just barely anymore. Those days are done and over with. Now the only laws that are enforced are for the purpose of repression or revenue enhancement. I’ll be surprised if they even knock on the door when they decide to come confiscating.
“....when they decide to come confiscating.”
They can’t knock off a million households at one time. If it was “that time” we’d be in the middle of a civil war.
Soon, but not not yet.
And sorry for the “jerk” comment - it’s just that when Freepers assume gun laws are passed because we “sat on our asses” - you do a dis-service to those that have fought long and hard for gun-rights - it’s not easy living in the midst of the Libtards........
Hey wait.
Born: Rochester, NY. Left NY in 2000. By 2002 I was in GA.
I know, Laz.
You and I were once connected by a spider web.

It’ll come to ya.
Part of Illinois’ problems are losing people. Those people not only pay taxes, but they generate revenue for businesses that pay taxes. Big government focuses on big business, but fails to note the long tail of small businesses that mean jobs, growth and in the aggregate more taxes than the top 10% provide.
