New York Went and Done It

[BuffCyclist]

"Private sales of assault weapons to someone other than an immediate family would be subject to a background check through a dealer." -More taxes to higher more government employees. "Jobs"

Can someone explain to me what an "immediate family" is? Is that like your next door neighbor, or I guess in New York, it'd be like any family in the building you live in?

I can't believe they think this is really going to have ANY effect whatsoever on gun violence. Might as well limit the ammo capacity to 3 rounds: 1 for the bad guy, 1 chance to miss, and 1 to shoot yourself when the perp sues you for shooting him. Then again, that would ban all guns, they're at least one step closer to doing that though.

I know I'm sounding like a broken record here but THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE.

Its about controlling the sheep and running conservatives out of their state.

Nearly every .22 pistol has a standard magazine capacity of 10 rounds, and many .22 revolvers have 8 0r 9 chambers in the cylinder. Ruger 10/22 comes standard with a 10 round mag, and many tube mags hold even more. I see NO EXCEPTION for rimfires. Dumbasses.

And how long before they decide to limit the number of magazines you can have? That way you won't be able to just defeat their bullshit by doing mag changes.

I don't get the impression that any aspect of the magazine limit number was an oversight. They very likely tried to figure out a number that would be just low enough to effectively outlaw the vast majority of firearms.

This IS the Answer. Everyone seemd to be forgetting the most important aspects of the new NY law.

"Conduct real time background checks of ammunition purchases in order to alert law enforcement of high volume buyers"
In another provision, a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally would be required to report it to a mental health director who would have to notify the state. A patient’s gun could be taken from him or her.

May i see your Papers Pleez.

Immediate family = spouse or children who reside in the same home. Might even cover parents and grandparents who live elsewhere. Surely does not cover inlaws, cousins, uncles.

Ah ... so it's NOT a done deal (dunno what the makeup of the NY legislature is so maybe it's a fait accompli and voting will just be a formality).
