I am honestly surprised politicians in NY are going to be able to pass this. In NYC I could see it getting passed but on a state level? I have a few relatives in NY and they own guns and would never support this and there are a lot of New Yorkers across that state who feel the same.
This is definately a case of the urban blue controlling the rest.
That's exactly what I was thinking. No way the vast majority of the state (geographically) supports this. Absolutely no way.
But of course that's the MO. A few liberal urbanites trying to control everyone else.
You know, while America still has the most freedom in general firearm wise, when laws like this NY one are enacted even many european countries have less restrictions than this.
Meanwhile all the criminals and gangs will have the semi/full autos with giant clips and Liberals will jump up and down at any attempt to get them off the streets.
of course, anyone can ban as many guns as they want, if someone wants to go on a mass murder rampage or criminals want guns it will just as easy then as now to get them. Leave it to the wonderful city of NY and the wonderful mayor...Good luck and thank you God for leading me to any city but New York..
On thing that hasn't even been mentioned yet, .22 pistols like a Ruger MK will be effected also. So EVEN a .22 target pistol is being effected by this. Sports shooters across NY are going to suffer from this but the criminal hardly at all.
It's gotta put a big hole in a perp with the least amount of rounds.
.45 ACP and .357 MAG are the best options with that in mind.
When they came for the "military style rifles" the hunters, shotgun skeet & trap shooters and handgun owners said " meh, doesn't effect me" so they took them.
Then when they came for the handguns the hunters and shotgun skeet and trap shooters said "meh doesn't effect me" so they took them.
Then when they came for the hunting rifle with a scope " deemed a sniper rifle by the anti's" the shotgun skeet & trap shooters said "meh doesn't effect me" so they took them.
Then when they came for the shotgun there was no one left to stand up for the shotgun people so they took them......

Same old, same old. And they will make sure the mentally ill avoid committment.
The really sad part is this might drive even more New Yorkers to abandon the state.
This may emliminate some handguns but why is a 7 round magazines an issue, how many residents need more than 7 rounds to defend. The law is more than just magazine limitations, background checks, more severe penalties.

Yeah, because if a gang of armed thugs does a home invasion, a stressed out person will be a crackshot and there won ever be more than 7 intruders.
This ban is going to go to court and is doomed. Even the Luger my grandfather brought back from WWI would be banned in NY (used 8 round mags). It bans some of the most popular guns today and even antique collectible guns.
