ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed into law on Tuesday a sweeping package of gun control measures, significantly expanding a ban on assault weapons and making New York the first state to change its laws in response to the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
Mr. Cuomo signed the bill less than an hour after the State Assembly approved the legislation on a 104-to-43 vote. The State Senate approved the measure, 43 to 18, on Monday night.
The expanded ban on assault weapons broadens the definition of such weapons, banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles with detachable magazines and one military-style feature, as well as semiautomatic shotguns with one military-style feature. New Yorkers who already own such guns can keep them but will be required to register them with the state.

So when the next whack job that wants to do damage can’t find a gun, he will make a bomb. Mark my words, in the next few years there will be a bombing of a school or a busy place. In schools today there are plenty of bomb threats. They are all false. Some day there will be know warning because real bombers just quietly place the bomb and BOOM.
We live in a sick world where the innocent are punished, the criminals get left alone and our leaders become tyrants.
Good to hear, had me wondering there for a minute.
I've seen some very surprising posts here lately, sad to say the least....
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....I see your point.
Those four cops that shot Amadou Diallo in the Bronx fired 44 shots. 44 shots at one unarmed guy. An back in 72 two NYPD street cops broke up a bank robbery by revolutionary types armed with M16s stolen from a NG Armory in Rockland County. Both cops were wounded. They fired 18 rounds at the robbers and had 12 hits. Both bad guys went down. Cops used to be trained but now, even with the “9”s and the fancy dan shooting ranges with the bells and whistles cops are putting too much lead in the air. So in answer to your question, make them go back to six round 38s with the four inch barrel.
Some times yiou have to take matters into your own hands. We have traitors in our midst.
My condolences. So in general, what's your perspective on what is going to happen now? Will NYer's (gun owners) capitulate & register all their fire arms, knowing if they don't they could face hefty fines or perhaps jail sentences?
How dooes the socialist-fascist NY State expect to enforce or verify that guns are registered?
Are the NRA & other gun lobby groups filing lawsuits?
This is a travesty & atrocity that is being committed by the STATE against lawful gun owners, with no downside whatsover to the wackos, criminals & deranged liberals!
Is it time for all conservative, patriotic Americans to lock & load?
New yorkers are morons. They get what they voted for. Why would anyone with an IQ stay in a place where freedom, liberty and the US Constitution are despised?
Will this anti-gun legislation affect the members of his bodyguard?

Well I think a big problem was going to 9mm for hi capacity, I believe more forces are thinking about going back to 45’s for stopping power. A 9mm makes nice pretty holes but a 45 puts your A** down!Kind of like why the military change from .38 to .45 “The most vociferous complaints concerned the revolver’s cartridge chambering. Beginning in 1899, combat reports arose from the Philippines campaign regarding the poor performance of the M1892’s .38-caliber ammunition. Specifically, users complained that the .38 bullet repeatedly failed to stop charging enemy tribesmen at close ranges, even when hit multiple times.[4] The complaints caused the U.S. Army to hurriedly issue stocks of .45 caliber revolvers, and played a central role in its decision to replace the M1892 with the .45 Colt M1909 New Service revolver in 1909” From Wikipedia.
I wonder how many are going to comply with the law?
It won't make one iota of difference to the RAT bastard commie pig Cuomo! He will be protected by rows of heavily armed local police & state troopers. If there is even as much as a peep of outburst, you can bet 10 beefy, overweight union cops will pounce on that person and beat the shit out of him (or her) right there in front of everybody. And then that person will be facing prison time for "threatening the governor" or some contrived felony offense.
It seems like NY will be the test case for 0dumb0 & other states, to see how far & fast they can push their 2nd Amendment abuses & final destruction of our Constitution.
Will this result in our Lexington/Concord defining moment?
Is the three day requirement a law, or a Congressional rule?
It is time for all firearm manufacturers to move their operations to US Constitution friendly states.
I’m doing nothing at all.
Como and the communists can f off.
Please do NOT invite people to come to Texas.
You will also get the riff-raff and other libruls from those hapless states.
Texas is bad, bad, bad. People carry guns here and shoot at those who enter homes, uninvited. Concealed carry classes are all full and there is standingroom only at gunshows.
Please y’all, stay away from Texas.

"I'm convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it's true that politicians will then go home and say, 'This is a great law. The problem is solved.' And it's also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we'll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again.< font color = red> Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country.
The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal."
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., "A Reporter At Large: Handguns," The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
Did anyone really think their "two Military items" or 10 round limit would really be permanent?
Too bad you can't stop those from south of the border.
It wasn't easy; I was leaving everyone I knew, my family, my friends, all those familiar places from my youth. Looking back, it was the BEST decision my husband and I made.
Escape...while you still can!
