“NY already has handgun and assault weapons registration.”

“Assault weapon” registration is part of the new law just passed. Prior to this there was no registration of any “long guns” in NY State.

The new registration requirements are not in effect yet, NY State residents have until Jan 2014 to register any weapons covered under the new law.

And their is a slim possibility that legal challenges could be successful before that.

So at this moment, no one in NY should register any of their long guns. If someone has something they want to register they would be wise to hold off for now.

NOPE, the date is April 15th, 2014 to complete registration.

Assault weapons must be sold off by 15 January 2014 to avoid registration.
