    Need help with serious situation?

    I need my fellow brothers and sisters here at M4Carbines help and opinions on a very serious situation that I have to figure out in the next two weeks. As many of you know New Yorkistans horrible governor andy cuomo and his cronies passed the NY Unsafe Act in the middle of the night back on January 13, 2013 banning weapons with "assault weapon features" unless they are registered by April 15, 2014.

    So I don't know what to do. Do I leave my Colt (which is by far my favorite rifle and setup exactly how I want it to be) the way it is and register it? Or do I change the stock (to the one shown in the link below) to make it ban compliant which is easy and I wouldn't have to register it at all.

    We bought and put one of THESE STOCKS on one of our other AR's, they are Unsafe Act compliant/legal. To be honest other then looks, it's not all that bad. I just don't know what to do with my Colt. Nobody seems to know if they said they were going to start confiscating our registered "assault weapons", would they allow us to remove the "assault weapon features" so we could keep the rifles/carbines or would they just take them. Does anyone know if I could sell my Colt to my FFL and have him remove all the assault weapon features (just the stock) and then sell it back to me? I've called the NY State Police Unsafe Act hot line and I've asked a few different Troopers these questions and none of then can answer them.

    So what would you guys or gals do if you were in my situation? It's my favorite carbine/rifle that I finally have setup the exact way I want it. Would you register it and hope for the best or would you just change the stock and be done with it?

    Thank you, NYH1.

    I'd have the goofy stock on hand and make plans to relocate to another state.

    I would not register anything. No stamps or CC license for me either. I want to remain as small a blip on their radar as possible! GH

    1. I would fork over the $119 just so I would not have to register ANY weapon. I will NEVER register ANY firearm.
    2. Contact a moving company. Come on down to Virginia..
    I feel for you folks

    I think after all the legal challenges are over you folks in NY are still going to have this draconian law. Unless you put in a lot of veto proof progun legislators and a 2A friendly governor, and I dont see that happening.

    Hell the country is only 1 heart attack or stroke away (think SCOTUS) from having our 2nd amendment decimated.
    God help us.
    The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for re-election and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.
