New York State: No ARs for you!

New York's legislature voted on its last day of session Thursday to ban anyone under the age of 21 from buying or even possessing a semi-automatic rifle. 

The bill also requires anyone buying a semi-automatic rifle to get a license - which is currently only required in New York State for handguns.

Anytime I see the words 'license required', particularly from a northeastern state, the words 'license denied' pop into my head.

  1. No license needed to carry concealed up here in NH. Same in Vermont and Maine. I do have a CCW permit, but its only purpose is to let me carry concealed in other states, Connecticut in particular. The GF lives there...and she carries, too.

    NH has also passed legislation to make it a Second Amendment Sanctuary state and the governor has said he'll sign it. The legislation is based upon both the Second and Tenth Amendments of the US Constitution and the NH State Constitution which severely restricts government's (state and federal) ability to interfere with citizens' right to keep and bear arms.

  2. Kenny, that just means you’ve been paying attention. That’s how things “work” here in NYFS.

    How many in our armed forces are under 21?

    1. You KNOW there will be carve-outs for the military and the PO-leece.

    2. "They" say that is OK because they are highly trained and supervised. They don't mention that those 'kids' are on their side.

  4. It's certainly going to make deer hunting more of a challenge. Glad I left the state recently.

  6. And just like that, crime increased by 70%. If you include all the now illegal gun owners, that would be closer to over 100%. It's gotta be over 100% cause anyone who possibly can under the age of 21 is now gonna get one or 3 or 11. Just cause.
