Well apparently New York State is at it again! This bill is absolutely ridiculous! It is filled with gun hating rhetoric, contradictory statements, and uneducated definitions and "Facts."

Please read through this and write to your politicians! I've been working on a writing for the past few days. Do your part!
This will make it so that all legal "Assault Weapons" under the new definitions will have to be ether surrendered or submitted for testing and holding while a background check is being performed. Upon completion of the background check, the "testing", the ballistic fingerprinting of the firearm, the registration of the firearm, and the return of the weapon in a sealed container, the owner will not be prohibited from possessing the firearm.
The firearm will only be allowed to be possessed "on property owned or immediately controlled by the person, or while on the premises of a licensed gunsmith for the purpose of lawful repair, or while engaging in legal travel to or from these locations by a person who lawfully possessed these weapons...(Section 4, E)"
Also: Wording Change:
"Section 2, 22. "Assault Weapon" means Any:
semi-automatic or pump-action rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has ONE or more of the following:"
Interesting huh? And where did the pump action even come from?
Illegal items:
-Pistol grip
-VFG
-Folding, telescoping, or THUMB HOLE STOCK
-Handguards and rails
-Muzzle devices
Assault pistol has a muzzle brake, no more of those muzzle brakes!
Semi Shotgun that has ONE or more:
-Pistol Grip
-Folding telescoping, or thumb hole stock
-Fixed magazine capacity in excess of five rounds or a detachable magazine
A shotgun with a revolving cylinder
or possession of any parts that an assault weapon can be made from. Better throw out those parts bins, they may have a VFG in them somewhere....
-Bullet button as it can be removed with a cartage or bullet (guess they don't consider it a tool)
Now my head hurts... Lets see how this goes!
