Ammunition magazines would be restricted to seven bullets, from the current 10, and current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.

Shoutout now denied on title alone. New York government is terrible.

However, this seems to be some good work.

Caught at home? Are there going to be searches of private residences now? How could someone be "caught at home?"

I'm cool with the mental health aspect, stronger background checks, making sure guns are safely stored and keeping a better eye on private/flea market gun sales.

The restriction of mag sizes, changing the definition of "Assault rifle" to just having a pistol and requiring private and lawful owners register them are the things I don't like.

Gun sellers in norther PA will be ecstatic I am positive.

If they outright ban "assault" rifles (oh brother....) based on the pistol grip you best believe that the mod-kits for "standard" rifles will be flowing in hot and heavy. Same with ammo, people will start making it themselves, selling it or just getting it from outside sources.

You come down too hard and you will find yourself with a black market and little control.

Hopefully, New York will learn its lesson from their stance on high cigarette taxes.

Rat bastards! Who are they to infringe on my God given right to fire 60 rounds a minute when hunting deer?!!!

Right. Gun restrictions should be loosened.

In the future please respond to what people are actually posting.

No one was saying that. Is there an instance of someone saying that in this thread that I missed? If so, please quote it.

Thanks.

Your post makes little sense.

I guess Im unclear on PittMike's post about not "learning their lesson"

What exactly should be done?

Fair enough


Did you say owners shouldn't have to register their guns or did I read that wrong?

Why does any non military person need to fire 60 shots a minute?

None, right now.

Hopefully we are done with the days where something like that would be required.

That is ultimately what scares me about gun control. I don't know what things will be like in 25 years. Restricting high powered guns may change the casualty numbers by 50% for incidents like Sandy Hook but what happens if in 25 years we live in an environment similar to many places in Mexico where roving gangs make police protection relatively meaningless?

I looked back at my original post about it, I said it wrong.

Having a specific registry for a specific firearm ("assault" rifles) is a waste of time...if that is what they intend to do. It will accomplish nothing and prevent nothing, it's more vote service than anything. Their are other things to spend time and money and manpower on concerning this subject.
