The Attorney General of New York, recently elected and rabidly anti-Second Amendment, Letitia James, is attempting to intimidate online sellers of the materials and tools used to make firearms into not selling them to New York residents. She claims the companies are promoting law breaking. From the ag.ny.gov:
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced that she has directed the operators of 16 websites that manufacture and/or sell firearms or firearms components to “cease and desist” selling nearly complete assault weapons into New York State. The possession, manufacture, and sale of assault weapons is illegal in New York, but these companies have been providing the means to violate the state’s assault weapons ban, and often specifically advertise their products as a way to evade law enforcement with phrases like, “If they don’t know you have it, they can’t take it.”
“There is only one purpose for the products that these companies are selling — to manufacture illegal and deadly assault weapons,” said Attorney General Letitia James. “The proliferation of these types of weapons has not only caused indescribable suffering across the country, but gravely endanger every New Yorker. We must make sure that these illegal and untraceable guns are not built in New York.”
There are serious problems with AG Letitia's claims. She is the one who is breaking the law, not the sellers of metal and tools. The law banning the possession of semi-automatic rifles in New York is flagrantly unconstitutional.

Several years ago, one of my financially oriented boys suggested investing in “80% Lower Futures.”
I need to buy a couple just to lay around and drive the liberals in the office nuts.
Next they will seek to ban the tools necessary to convert a paperweight into a functional lower receiver.
They are already banning the knowledge to do so.
New York has joined the lawsuit against the Department of State to claim they must ban the computer files used to print gun parts.
Good idea! And since they would be primarily decorative, why not get the fiberglass/resin receivers that come in decorator colors? To make a statement.
You could even laser etch "MAGA" onto a bright red one!
re: “Next they will seek to ban the tools necessary to convert a paperweight into a functional lower receiver.”
... 3D printers, capable of printing ‘metal’ ...
Mills and lathes to follow.
letitia says it all. Typical affirmative-action hire...and loser. has she ever read the Constitution? Isn’t she breaking her oath of office? Just what is wrong with people like this? Is she anything other than a lunatic?
Ban, ban, ban, BAN, BAN, BAN, BAN!
These people don’t seem to be able to come up with anything other than that.
Most of them are so ignorant on anything guns they'd prolly think it was a new fangled stapler or something.
“Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it’s hard to get it back in.” (quoth H. R. Haldeman)
New York is just following California’s lead. In California, before you can complete an 80% lower you have to register it with the California DOJ. (They call it ‘requesting a unique serial number.’)
Also flagrantly unconstitutional.
They’d be okay with Americans being forced to have a background check done to enter a Home Depot.
One can easily build a gun from the goodies there, and it’ll shoot more than once.
The insanity continues in New York.
“....Ban, ban, ban, BAN, BAN, BAN, BAN!
These people don’t seem to be able to come up with anything other than that....”
Well, they also seem to cuss & scream a lot. And then there’s; “Tax, tax, tax, TAX TAX, TAX!!!
There was a post on here awhile back that had a list of everything the communists wanted to ban and have already banned. It was a looonnnnggggg list.
Okay, now I’ve gotten my good laugh of the day out of the way.
Thank you, thank you.
Maybe the moronic New York AG should try to outlaw Newtonian
Physics so that nobody can figure out how to make weapons of any kind.
“New York is just following California’s lead. In California, before you can complete an 80% lower you have to register it with the California DOJ. (They call it ‘requesting a unique serial number.’)

Just like a ‘form 1’ through the atf to manufacture an nfa item (supressor, sbr, sbs, etc).
Flagrantly unconstitutional!
