Ban possession of any high-capacity magazines regardless of when they were made or sold. Going forward, only clips able to hold up to seven rounds can be sold in the state. Clips able to hold 7-10 rounds can be possessed, but cannot be loaded with more than seven rounds. If an owner is found to have eight or more bullets in a magazine, he or she could face a misdemeanor charge.
If anyone is looking for THE rational response on the stupidity of magazine limits, here it is.

For me, this is a very telling statement. We all understand that no BG is going to worry about how many rounds are in his mag. We should also understand that only Elite friends of the Gov and NYC Mayor can get carry permits in NY so the target of this statement is the law-abiding citizens who have already had to get background checked, fingerprinted, etc in order to be able to get a permit to keep their guns in their houses. So is the NY Gestopo is going to be in charge of checking guns at people's homes to make sure that they only have 7 or less rounds?
Of course, this is the same State which has Stop and Frisk as a police operational procedure so obviously the Bill of Rights isn't a consideration for them.

Good point.
Another approach to the "reasonable controls are OK" crowd is that the new NY law now defines all rifles and most pistols used by our Olympic team as "assault weapons". Perhaps there are a few undecided folks for whom that factoid might open their eyes a bit.

The law passed, and here are some powerful words of protest from one of the legislators who voted against it:

I lived and hunted in upstate NY. Beautiful area with great people. Unfortunately the cities are controlling them and polluting the area with laws and the liberal city dwellers themselves.
Glad I moved for work and decidied not to go back. My wife says I'm an Honorary Texan now.
Tying to get my kids to go to school and live in the Big Cities, to keep Texas RED!!

I may have asked you before Fish, and if I did please forgive me, I lived and hunted in upstate myself, and covered from Nyack to Plattsburg as a telephone engineer. Where were you located?
BTW, having actually read the new law, I find myself wondering what a "Muzzle Break" is. Has anyone here ever broken their muzzle? Is it some magical way of doing something to the muzzle in order to render it instantaneously more lethal. I know there is a sound alike word, but since legislatures know what they are talking about, I have to wonder what it is that they ARE talking about.
Pointing it out in my next letter to Andy, just for grins and giggles. No doubt he will use his executive power to amend the law.
Many decades ago NY State was on the verge of outlawing a cartoon character that had a name similar to some mythical Ninja implement, I still think it would have been neat to see what happened if the law passed.

I have an e-mail from a one of my distribution groups about provisions in the law. Specifically:
1. The registration fee is $147 for all firearms owners
2. Registered assault rifles become the property of the State upon the death of the original person who registered it.

They're probably referring to a device that directs gases from the muzzle to counter the rise of the barrel from recoil. So, effectively, the law prohibits someone from shooting more accurately....they apparently want more bystanders to take a few rounds.

Methinks Jim is referring to the spelling error in the legislation.
Many of us have firearms with "muzzle brakes".
I don't recall ever seeing a "muzzle break".
Just goes to prove the antis have not got a clue what is going on.
