NY has new restrictive gun laws

NEW YORK - New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed 10 bills into law on Monday intended to strengthen the state's gun laws after recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas. 

Among the new laws is the prohibition of the sale of body armor to civilians, the requirement to have a license to purchase semi-automatic rifles, the making of a threat of mass harm as a crime, and the strengthening of the state's red flag laws which make it easier to take guns away from dangerous people before they commit a crime.

  1. Which one of these laws would have prevented the Buffalo shooting ?

  2. They'll get the same compliance ratio to these new laws as they did when they passed the law requiring registration all AR's after Sandy Hook.

    Microstamping on spent ammo? Their purpose here is to effectively outlaw sale of new firearms and body armor. That is restraint of trade, IMHO and doesn't pass the "public good" test either.

    Per usual, none of these laws will prevent another school shooting.

    They are all designed to hurt law abiding citizens and firearms dealers.

    Criminals, buy the very definition of the term, do not comply with the law.

  3. Red Flag laws are evil. They remove the right to due process. Make neighbors tattle tale on neighbors. Pit people against each other and give females a way to hurt the man they are divorcing.

  4. Responsible people no longer are allowed to own guns?

  5. Born & bred in NYFS. Feels like a life sentence, not a point of pride.

  6. My dad was a junior at Texas A&M. My mother had just graduated from Baylor and working in the admissions office at A&M. When dad told her that the President had been shot, mom asked "Why would someone shoot General Rudder?"
    Earl Rudder was president of A&M at the time

  8. Living in Massachusetts I'd have to pass through NY state to visit my (smarter) friends and family that live further south.
    So for any lengthy visit I'd transfer any weapons I'd like to take along between my local FFL and one in the target state.

    1. And to think the Firearms Owner Protection Act was supposed to outlaw the states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York from arresting out-of-staters that dared pass through their state with firearms.
