Looks like Magpul is gonna have to make 7 rounders....

The only thing I agree with about this law is a penalty for improperly stored weapons. If you want to be an adult and have fire arms you should be an adult and maintain control over them. I am sure that the 7rd limit will get struck down upon appeal, or at least the grandfathering portion will. It also makes me wonder who, higher up in politics in NY, owns a 1911 since the limit was 7 instead of 6 that most revolvers can hold. I would be interested to know if what term/terms were used in this law to define magazine. I know CA law specifically exempted M1 Gerand clips from its law.

Formalizing TRDoc's list:

Provisions in the sweeping gun control bill include:

- Further restrict assault weapons to define them by a single feature, such as a pistol grip. Current law requires two features.
- Make the unsafe storage of assault weapons a misdemeanor.
- Mandate a police registry of assault weapons.
- Establish a state registry for all private sales, with a background check done through a licensed dealer for a fee, excluding sales to immediate relatives.
- Require a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally to report the threat to a mental health director who would then have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient’s gun could be taken from him or her.
- Ban the Internet sale of assault weapons.
- Require stores that sell ammunition to register with the state, run background checks on buyers of bullets and keep an electronic database of bullet sales.
- Restrict ammunition magazines to seven bullets, from the current national standard of 10. Current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. Someone caught with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
- Require that stolen guns be reported within 24 hours. Otherwise, the owner would face a possible misdemeanor.
- Increase sentences for gun crimes including for taking a gun on school property.
- Increase penalties for shooting first responders, called the “Webster provision.” Two firefighters were killed when shot by a person who set a fire in the western New York town of Webster last month. The crime would be punishable by life in prison without parole.
- Limit the state records law to protect handgun owners from being identified publicly. The provision would allow a handgun permit holder a means to maintain privacy under the Freedom of Information law.
- Require pistol permit holders or those who will be registered as owners of assault rifles to be recertified at least every five years to make sure they are still legally able to own the guns.

There is so much stupidity in that bill, I have no energy.

EDIT: If Reddog1 had suggested this would pass in a US State (other than Cali) three months ago, I would have led the heckling. Instead, as crazy as reality has shown, Reddog1 was right.

Reddog is always right.

You'll see.

So, if I understand things correctly.....

1. You can still own a 10 round magazine in NY, but you can only put 7 bullets in it. Yeah, that'll stop A LOT of criminals.

2. This was all about "assault weapons". So, no standard current pistol manufacture makes a 7 round magazine, but doesn't EVERY standard "assault weapon" manufacture make a 2 and 5 round version of their magazine?

3. If you load your M-1 garand with 8 rounds, you are breaking the law?

4. Who is going to fund the ammunition registry?

Man.

Probably some idiotic bullet tax. Box of 20 bullets that used to be $20 will now probably be $35.

Or will we suddenly get a flood of damn yankees? Personally I'd welcome any New Yorker smart enough to move to a more civilized part of the world in order to keep their god given rights.

I just talked to a battle buddy of mine who lives upstate NY. He got out of the Army in 09.

He said #%% (&% )*(& __*& MY FAL !@%# **^% ^&()_ New York!!!!!

He's selling the house in NY and he''s moving back to Alaska.

AR mags are already restricted to 7 rounds in Oklahoma, for deer hunting.

From the OK Game & Fish Regs........

Legal Means of Taking
•Rifles: Centerfire rifles firing at least a 55-grain weight soft-nosed or hollow-point bullet and having an overall cartridge case length of 1 1/4 inches or longer (9mm rifles are not legal). Clips or magazines of all .22 caliber centerfire firearms may not be capable of holding more than seven rounds of ammunition.

This is a hunting regulation, which is a privilege, not a constitutional right.
