13 anti-gun bills just passed NYS assembly on 4/28/09
All you NYers, here's a link to the latest anti-gun bill anouncement (has links to each bill):
http://assembly.state.ny.us/Press/20090428/ -Includes .50 Cal or larger ban / mandatory turn-in, (What's next?) -Microstamping, (can you say much more expensive handguns?, and what's to stop a criminal from using a file on the firing pin?) -Mandatory "childproofing", locking up of guns, (This was rulled against in the Heller case) -5 year renewal for pistol permit with mandated safety course (govn't money maker) -and some modification to the NYS AWB, I'm not sure of the details... Not sure when this goes to the NY Senate for vote, but this year the senate has a Democrat majority, so they could pass them... Please, everyone in NY state, call and email your ny state legislators... Ben |

how dumb
I love "prohibiting felons from buying guns". I was under the impression that it is already illegal for felons to posses guns. so how is making it illegal to buy them different or going to make a criminal say whoa, i know i cant be in possession of a gun, but i can buy one, even though by buying one you would be in possession there for committing a crime.

Oh yea, check out this one, (buried in bill A02881)
Regaurding "cop killer bullets" "to provide that a person is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree when such person knowingly possess and intends to use any devastator ammunition, frangible ammunition, and any armor piercing ammunition." |

The childproofing provision in A01326 appears to comply with Heller in that it places the burden on the sellers and manufacturers of firearms, rather than on the owner:

Frangable ammo is a saftey bullet, not a cop killer what dolts in office. and most H.P. rifles can defeat a vest unless it has plates or ceramic in it.

The level of deceit used to pass these sorts of laws is reprehensible. It's a shame politicians can't be sued for libel against a class of people (gun owners).

Couldn't the bad guys, you know, grind off the microstamp on the firing pin?
That and about a billion other reasons it wouldn't reduce crime...

Just curious - gun owners live in New York State why, exactly?

NY is MORE gun friendly than many states. These bills come up virtually every year. Most always they die in committee. The whole "OMG, there a democratic assembly" is nonsense. NY almost always has a democratic assembly. Most of them are not the rabid anti-gun nutbags that bring up these bills. Usually these bills come from the never-been-out-of-NYC liberal elitists and the rest of the upstate people pretty well shut them down. In short, yes, we NYers should oppose these bills actively. No, it is not the end of the world, the sky is not falling. This bill has gotten a little to far for comfort, but it's not over yet.
