Due to slight oversight in New York’s new gun law, both police and private citizens will be banned from carrying high-capacity magazines.According to TV station WABC (http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_york&id=8958116), the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, which bans magazines that carry more than seven rounds, does not provide an exemption for law enforcement officers, who typically carry handguns with a 15-round capacity.

The New York Patrolman's Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch said in a press release Thursday (http://www.nycpba.org/) that they are "actively working to enact changes to this law that will provide the appropriate exemptions from the law for active and retired law enforcement officers."

"As with many pieces of new legislation, there is a period shortly after enactment where omissions and unforeseen impacts become apparent that prompt a revision to the law," he said.
That can happen when you're motivated by the irrational fear of inanimate metallic objects.

Makes me wonder if they have a clue and what might be in other legislation that doesn't receive as much attention.

[Dlesh123]

I don't wonder anymore, I am pretty sure they don't have a clue on most things they vote on.

Dumbasses.

Maybe that was the plan all along?

I wonder what they've been doing these past couple days? All the cops walking around town with empty guns since their mags aren't legal? I don't think there's even such a thing as a 7-round mag for any Glocks

I love the part where they say they will have to change this part because they don't want the cops out gunned by the criminals, oh but it's okay for the law abiding citizen to be.

"Former NYPD Captain and current State Senator Eric Adams, who is part of the effort seeking a magazine exemption for police officers, brought up an interesting point, he said, “You can’t give more ammo to the criminals.”

In other words, criminals won’t obey the law and they will continue to use high-capacity magazines. By an extension of his logic, it goes to show that the real intention of this law was not to disarm criminals, but to limit what types of firearms and accessories law-abiding citizens can own."

Cops don't need high capacity mags anyway. They get tasers, mace, night sticks, shotguns and radios to call for back up.
NY is a state of retards LOL.

Cuomo could effectively exempt cops from the law by guaranteeing a full pardon (part of their privy) for any LEO charged with violating the law.

Would technically be legal and allowed by powers granted to the Governor and the State, unlike the actual law.
