NY to restrict Assault Weapons, Limit magazine size to 7 bullets

[bowserb]

And next we all become Barney Fife--empty revolver and one round we carry in a shirt pocket...buttoned of course

Looks like there is going to be a run on mouse guns until they put minimum limits on gun size.

Excellent point, those guns are just too concealable, they'll say.

They after they've went after the big/small guns, they'll go for guns being too cheap and tax the hell out of them.

 

[sansone]

Yes...who says that's not the point?

Time for backstaters to consider voting with their feet? There's still plenty of room in Texas.

vote with feet, excellent..
is west of the 'sippi good enough?

If I have to pull up stakes to run from draconian gun control, things are so far gone already. Maybe I can buy one of the outlying Aleutian Islands. Is that far enough away for the government to leave me and my guns alone?

No. It isn't.

My guess is that if this 7-round thing becomes law and the nation doesn't get a 10-round limit, one of a few things will likely happen:

Manufacuturers will start making "regular" (full) and 7-round magazines, and EVERYBODY in any limited state gets the 7-rounders, OR they'll make regular and just not worry about the NY market. You would still have various single-stack guns and such that fit the criteria, but I can't imagine too many manufacturers making THREE tiers of magazines (regular, 10, and 7) - the supply chain just gets too complicated.

 

[USAF_Vet]

If New York gets a 7 round limit, California and other states still have a 10 round limit. Magazine makers will still make 10 rounders, standard capacity and the new NY restricted capacity magazines.

See, this right here is why you don't say ''clips'' when you mean magazines. I think the fellow with 8 shot moon clips in his revolver MIGHT be OK.

 

[boatmanschneider]

And what about the Garand? 8 round clip.

Please excuse my ignorance, but, is the well that the clip inserts into called the magazine?

 

[razorback2003]

7 rounds? I thought NY does not allow any magazines over ten rounds made after 94?

I guess that law wasn't good enough so go from 10 to 7 basically making any double stack magazine handgun useless. I'm sure that is the whole point.

 

[Killian]

This makes Glocks practically worthless. I'll take them off your hands for $50. It's a burden on me, I know, but I'll make the sacrifice.

Just leave any moon bat ideas back in that New York, we will teach you the ways when you get here, make a fresh start.

 

[Zoogster]

Just a new twist to what they have tried a couple decades ago.

Too affordable guns are 'saturday night specials' only good for crime.
Too small are too readily concealable.
Standard size hold too many rounds, so you need a lot of wasted space with fewer rounds.
Large calibers are too powerful and dangerous.
A handgun weighing more than 50 oz is a bad feature in the expired Federal AWB and in states that copied it.

Too small is bad
Too large is bad.
Too affordable is bad.

It never ends, once they get something they just adjust and go after what was previously acceptable according to them.

 

[JamieC]

Aren't guns basically illegal in NY state anyhow? I think you need to be at least a mayor to get a carry license. As I think about it, a 1911 is the way to go, ONLY 7 rounds of 45 caliber.

 

[xXxplosive]

Yup......that will certainly make our kids in school safe.....Geeeezzzzz.

We Won't Be Fooled Again..........

 

[Prince Yamato]

Yeah... Honestly, you're now going to have a state awash in sub and micro compact handguns. Also, it will provide Kahr and Rohrbaugh an upper hand as they are instate manufacturers.

 

[Prince Yamato]

Oh... Also, you could still get a Desert Eagle in 50AE.

Gun-friendly New Yorkers, please move to Arizona and enjoy the year-round sunshine and walk-in walk-out gun purchases, constitutional carry; no NICS check if you have a CCW, just pay and no phone call. Help solidify AZ as a no-nonsense gun-friendly state

 

[joeschmoe]

I think it will get struck down as too restrictive under Heller v DC. "In common use at the time".

NY is trying to ban "arms". They can't do that. Arms are protected, not hunting guns.

 

[ScrapMetalSlug]

Still would not have prevented last summers shooting outside the Empire State Building.

Expect a rush on 1911's in New York.

It would not have prevented it, but less people may have been shot if the 7 round limit applied to the police as well. The NYPD shot all 9 innocent bystanders. It may have been different if they all had revolvers, instead of their weapons of war and "big clips".

While it's quite possible to be successful - as I understand it this has not passed yet as implied by the OP title.

I suggest NYers get after their respective state legislators rikki-tik!

 

[Mayvik]

Who needs magazines, anyway...



Glad I left NY never to return...sad for family and friends who are still there.

 

[tuj]

Time to trade back from the wonder-nine to the M1911 and start practicing those reloads!

Ridiculous. Seven rounds is not enough to stop an attack.

 

[xXxplosive]

The Honorable Govenor of New York.....Andrew Coma.....any other brilliant suggestions...?

You got to get out of NY, or stop complaining about it. Not to be disrespectfull, but I left, and I had all my relatives there and friends, I owned 3 pieces of real estate and a business for 25 years.
There comes a time that a person needs to evaluate what is importand to them and move twords that goal, Now more than 3/4 of my family of aunts, all my cousins and everyone else is out of that cesspool.
Obviouslly it's not going to change, so either you bite the bullett, "if you can still find one" or move on.
I have family in CO, CA,IL, FL, TN, PA, and only a few in NY.
Get the heck out of there while you still can, we all did.

 

[jojo200517]

1911 is the way to go, ONLY 7 rounds of 45 caliber.

as much as I love the 1911 you guys are clearly missing out on the opportunity to have a much larger handgun that only holds 7 rounds.

Did everyone forget the Desert Eagle .50AE pistols hold 7 rounds??
