Hi guys, I'm new to these forums and I've been following this legislation for the past couple of days. It seems they snuck in some extra "goodies" inside this bill no one had time to read. S 265.02 seems to mention possession of three or more firearms "criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree" and therefore a Class D Felony.

I am from Canada. This is how it starts. Up here mere possession of a firearm is a criminal offence, the license simply protects you from prosecution. But since they expire every 5 years, the police can simply choose not to renew them, and arrest you. The writing is on the wall for NY.
