Stop the NYS Firearms Ban Now!

Okay......just read through that list and one thing in particular jumped out at me quickly as rediculous. The Benelli M2 Tactical is label as an "assault shotgun" but not the M4......you know, the one designed to be a friggin military assault shotgun. SMH.

I'm beginning to wonder more and more if the clowns that write these laws have ANY firearms experience that doesn't involve putting in a DVD and popping some popcorn.

is that list complete? Becuase it it is I can think of a couple of great carbines that arent on that list

Ruger Mini 14
Ruger 556

930 spx with a standard stock is ok.

There's a loophole I found on the new semiauto shotgun language.

In the orig 1994 it specifies a pistol grip as an evil feature. This new ban it just references thumbholw stocks. So I'd say a pistol grip is no longer an evil feature.

*Twilight Zone Theme* Conspiracy Theorists Gather.....

Well. I just got caught up on this topic. And even though I am greatly saddened by the news it comes as no surprise. "We the People" has lost it's meaning to people who have never had to defend their rights or serve their country and see how those "rights" actually make us a better country. The media and education systems are filled with people who have never served their country. They grew up as frat boys and girls who had the idea instilled into them by their parents and grand parents that serving their country was for the poor and less fortunate. In other words the stupid. There will never be any respect from the few people that actually fall in this catagory because there is no respect for people they consider less educated or less whatever. Yet their Frat gives them a unique advantage over the stupid. They think that "their" people are better and make sure that anyone who follows in "their" way of thinking gets preferential treatment because they are part of the club.

End the end, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Because "we as a country" are allowed to say things in annonimity to protect us from any possible backlash and being classified as "one of them." And as a people we have allowed those in power to have more "rights" than everyone else but have not grown disguted enough to do something about it because those in power control the media and education system which just reinforces those beliefs and the people have bought into this idea that those less fortunate than "us" should have less rights than "we" do or should because the powerful among us have told us that we are right in thinking this way. Any minority, that doesn't fit into our ideas as being "with us" are against us. And we all know who "those" people are. The Blacks, hispanics, gays, lesbians, Irish, Nigerians, trailer trash, indians or whomever comes to mind as someone who is not like us.

So, today, gun owners are on that list as a bunch of "crazies" that don't deserve certain rights by that club. So be it. But history has proven time and again that "most" people will willingly if grudgingly accept to turn in their guns. And the few remaining will be villified and called names such as radical or whatever other word that has a negative conotation so that the remaining masses will turn on the remaining few who do understand what is happening and what is coming, to silence them. Until the end.

Then, when the SHTF, when the trucks arrive on your street to carry off your neighbors to some unspeakable horror, the people will stand and watch. Quitely so as not to be noticed and be the next ones loaded on the trucks. And when tens of thousands or even millions die, and the carnage has run it's course, all the people will cry out in one voice "How did we let this happen?" But of course it will be too late. And we as a country will start anew and build a new country that temporarily learns from it's past mistakes and mournes the losses.

This is the cycle of life. It has been since the beginning of time and will be until the last person takes a breath. If you don't believe it, just look at history. Because we as a human race ARE too stupid to learn from past mistakes. That is obvious...

I have no answers here. Just observations. And the repeat of history as my own personal crystal ball. All we can do as individuals today is what we are doing now. Don't give up. Talk about it, write letters and make phone calls and HOPE that there is someone left in power who listens, understands and will make the sacrifice to get on the truck to prove that we are no different than our neighbors and what is happening is wrong. I prey that I am strong enough to get on the truck when the time comes. I'm very afraid and not ashamed to say it. Because I truely believe that that time is coming. And I have no idea how to stop it.

I feel your pain Walter Monkey... I in WNY comming to grasps that most of what I thought as true as a kid in the 60's has been nothing but BS. Thanks for all your efforts & always know that light & truth will always dispell darkness & evil. The wait sure is painful though. Jerry

Us here in California are facing the same Democratic pile.

Thanks for the link JT 10. Lots of close to home info down that road.

So New York's ban goes into affect today along with mandatory registration. I would imagine there are several hundred thousand weapons that would fall under the new rules. Just how many will register their weapons, how many will hide/bury them and how many will just flip the NY government off?

I'm not asking you to give up your plan if you live there, this is just an open question for discussion.

If you don't live there, but this happened in your state, what do you think you would do?

I would sell all mine in the allotted time and become a law abiding citizen just like every NY’er has done....no question. I keep selling them and buying the back at gun shows all the time….I would just let them go for good.

This judge is a *censored by me* moron...how can it be both ways?

They are all violations of the 2nd Amendment!!! There is nothing in the Constitution that puts " the state’s important interest in public safety" above anything else...

Another Obama appointee...I assume, anyway...
