New York State Passes US Gun Control Law Since Massacre

NY Passes First US Gun Control Law Since Massacre - ABC News

... Owners of an estimated 1 million previously legal semiautomatic rifles, like the Bushmaster model used to kill 20 children and six seven adults in Newtown, Conn., a month ago, will be able to keep their weapons, but will have a year to register them with police...

In addition to outlawing a broader array of military-style weapons, the measure restricts ammunition magazines to seven bullets, down from the current 10, creates a more comprehensive database of people barred from owning guns, and makes New York the first state to require background checks to buy bullets. The system will also help flag customers who buy large amounts of ammo.

In another provision, therapists, doctors and other mental health professionals will be required to tell state authorities if a patient threatens to use a gun illegally. The patient's weapon could then be taken away.

What parts of this are objectionable?

Ineffective and penalizing the wrong group of citizens,not to mention pandering and reactionary.

 

[whitehall]

WTF? Register so-called assault weapons (and print the names of legitimate owners in the newspaper) and take three bullets out of a 10 round magazine. That's it and Cuomo calls it a victory? Ever see old newsfeeds of Mussolini? Look at Cuomo screaming about a B.S. gun law.

 

[Mad Scientist]

What parts are objectionable?

All of it.

NY is a shithole, now it will be a BIGGER shithole.

Prediction: US or UN will have to nuke it eventually.

Registration, outlawing weapons, max 7 bullets, background checks to buy bullets, and tracking large amounts of ammo. Another good reason not to live in New York.

You equate that with those? Dumbass.

New York. ok. Progressive.

I can only assume that gun control legislation of some kind will be considered in the GA legislature.

A gang related shooting suspect was shot but declined to offer details on who/why. This murder received considerable attention, 2009.

'Hood was released from Georgia State Prison in Reidsville on Dec. 14 for offenses unrelated to the bar shooting, which galvanized Atlantans already on edge following a wave of similarly brazen crimes.

Prosecutors said they believed Hood fired the head shot that killed 27-year-old John Henderson, but they lacked the physical evidence to charge the 30 Deep gang member. One witness told police that Hood, then 18, told her he had killed the Standard Food and Spirits bartender.'

So much for cons standing up for states rights.

 

[Dr Grump]

Registration never works. Licensing is a better idea....
Everything else is OK I reckon.....

I fully expect the USSC will be bitch slapping NY silly shortly. That will be highly entertaining.

the part that creates a database of law-abiding gunowners that could (and likely will) later be used for a blanket confiscation of their weapons...

Speaking on behalf of my next trip to New York, thank you.

Here's the NRA's statement:
The National Rifle Association and our New York members are outraged at the draconian gun control bill that was rushed through the process late Monday evening.

Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature orchestrated a secretive end-run around the legislative and democratic process and passed sweeping anti-gun measures with no committee hearings and no public input.

Hammered out in a backroom in Albany, S. 2230 was quickly drafted and released 20 minutes prior to the Senate vote. It passed as the clock ticked toward midnight.

This legislation lowers New York’s arbitrary magazine capacity limit from ten rounds to seven. It also greatly expands the state’s existing ban on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms, and will require New York gun owners to undergo background checks on ammunition purchases.

These gun control schemes have failed in the past and will have no impact on public safety and crime. Sadly, the New York Legislature gave no consideration to that reality. While lawmakers could have taken a step toward strengthening mental health reporting and focusing on criminals, they opted for trampling the rights of law-abiding gun owners in New York, and they did it under a veil of secrecy in the dark of night.

The legislature caved to the political demands of a Governor and helped fuel his personal political aspirations. New York lawmakers have ignored and excluded gun owners throughout this legislative process, but the NRA and our New York members remain committed to having a meaningful conversation about protecting our children and will speak frankly about the lawmakers who have failed to do so.


That's the NRA statement. Have at it.

Not everyone is a strong enough person to live in New York City. You are obviously one of the people who could not live there.

 

[Franticfrank]

I really don't think this will change too much. Registration of weapons should have been there since the start but it won't stop anybody who decides to carry out a massacre. Neither will a seven round magazine.
