Why I “Don’t” Love New York

First read this.

Now take a look at this in particular.

quote:
Ban the sale, use or possession of 50-caliber or larger weapons, and creates a program to recall those currently legally owned (A.3211A/Eddington);

Here they go with the “now that we know you have them they are illegal” switcheroo. This is starting to remind me of Canada and Australia. For the readers that know firearms and ammo, a 12 gauge shotgun fires a 73 caliber slug. Will they try to make shotguns illegal now under the umbrella of this law as well? New York for the most part, has always been a bastion of liberal thinking, especially in the city. Maybe they should change their slogan on the tag from “The Empire State” to “The Knucklehead State”. New Yorkers often refer to NYC as “The Big Apple”. It is looking more and more like the withered core. Hillary picked a good place to roost I guess.

And don’t forget to take a look at this one where they heap up more attributes to define an assault weapon, which by their definition is a semi automatic rifle:

Here are some highlights:

Section 2.

Repeals subdivision 22 of section 265.00 of the penal law and adds a
new subdivision 22 to amend the definition of "assault weapon" by
reference to devices that amplify the effect and dangerousness of
weapons.

Section 3.

Amends section 265.00 of the penal law by adding three new
subdivisions 24, 25 and 26 to define three assault weapon enhancement
features: "detachable magazine", "muzzle brake" and "muzzle
compensator".

Section 4.

Amends section 265.20 of the penal law by adding a new subdivision e
to exempt from misdemeanor violation any person who lawfully owns,
uses or retains control of an assault weapon prior to January 1, 2009
and who, prior to April 1, 2009: renders the assault weapon
permanently inoperable, surrenders the weapon to appropriate law
enforcement or properly registers the weapon with the ballistic
databank.


My readers who are former New Yorkers are probably just shaking their heads...

The liberal New York justice system allows violent repeat offenders to be recycled back onto the streets, while pointing their finger at law abiding gun owners and creating stricter gun laws as crime keeps on occurring.
