You must not have a rifle chambered in 5.56/.223. Or you haven't checked into availability of it in the past 10 months.

True, but the powers-that-be in NY aren't dumb enough to start going door to door to check compliance. It's not like their new laws suddenly made a few hundred thousand (or more) "now illegal" rifles suddenly vanish from the state boundaries. I haven't read of stories of lines of sad gun owners wrapped around the block at State buildings, throwing in the towel to voluntarily hand over contraband.
The power is still there. Subdued, and angry, for sure. But it's still there.
Fortunately we can watch the legal recourse, I suspect sooner than later New York is going to be writing some really big checks over the lawsuits that are in the works, and people will have their rights restored.
As long as there is a legal recourse, the people can watch, and wait, and forego direct action.
They don't have to.
They have already arrested people for things as ridiculous as loading 8 rounds into a magazine.
All they have to do is make things illegal, and then enforce those laws as they come across people who are breaking them.
Of course not.
But are the possessors of those now-illegal rifles going to take them to the range? Probably not. Are they going to take/send them to a gunsmith for necessary work? Unlikely. Are they going to get nailed for breaking the law if and when they use that now-illegal rifle in self defense? Probably.
I haven't heard stories of resistance when these unconstitutional laws are enforced.
Barring the law getting over turned, those people will be whittled down, one by one, over time, to the point that that body of people is emaciated and impotent. And that's how the government wins.
Hopefully so...
How about the law that does not allow you to so much as pick up a handgun unless you get a mommy-may-I permission slip from the state?
When will action be taken against that unconstitutional drivel?

Ya I do own one, and I reload for the same. Not a problem for me. YMMV
I figured you were unaware of the actual situation out there in the real world.

Actually NO I'm not unaware, just that it does not effect me as I have more than I'll ever need at my age, but one never knows.
All of my components and ammo was purchased long before "O" came on the scene.
Of course the "real world" may be different here in No. Indiana that it is in Ga.

So you were trolling then.
I see.
PS: The real world is the same here as it in The Region. I should know.

I have .22 ammo from the 60's that I am still using. A dud along the way in line with new ammo. 50 year old .22 & 75 year old 7.62x54r STILL JUST AS DEADLY AS WHEN NEW. Just like me.
I hope to get to that point one day.
But I'll have to stock up whenever the situation normalizes...I'm hoping next summer...before we get on top of the mid term elections.

No I was not. Are you attempting to call me out?
I was making a comment directed to those who buy up all the rimfire ammo.
Sorry you didn't understand that.
What pray tell is "the region".
Or did you think the thread was only about centerfire?
A person from Northern Indiana should know what The Region is, I suspect.
PS: A lot of people do a lot of their practice and training with .22lr to save money. That's why firearms such as, say, the S&W M&P 15-22 are so popular.

Sorry Warp, I put you on the short list, I'll stay happier that way. Nite!
In a civil insurrection, which more than a few, believe we're heading for just simply for the IOUs the U.S.A has written the .22 LR or even short is an excellent combat, foraging, and logistical round. During the Great Depression during the 30's I know of several families where the young girl's job was to go shoot squirrels, rabbits, edible birds etc. One of those women is still alive today so it's not ancient history. Quiet...lethal...defender and provider...the dis-respected .22.

For small game, correct, or even deer sized game with perfect shot placement.
Combat? Much better served by a larger caliber, no army today fields the .22 rimfire as a standard field round, there must be a reason for that.

This one has wandered pretty far from the OP and is getting long.
