Lawnmower2021 423 Posted May 12, 2023 https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2023/attorney-general-james-sues-gun-accessory-manufacturer-aiding-buffalo-shooter Quote NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today filed a lawsuit against a gun accessory manufacturer, MEAN LLC (Mean Arms), for aiding the illegal possession of assault weapons in New York, including the weapon used in the mass shooting in Buffalo in May 2022. New York law bans the possession of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Mean Arms manufactures, sells, and distributes a magazine lock, known as the MA Lock, that is marketed as a device to lock a magazine onto a semiautomatic rifle. However, the lock can easily be removed so that detachable magazines, including high-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, can be inserted into a rifle. Further down the article: Quote In January 2022, the Buffalo shooter purchased a semiautomatic rifle in New York with a MA Lock installed and a 10-round magazine. The shooter easily removed the MA Lock from the weapon within a few minutes using a #2 speed out drill bit, the same tool advised in Mean Arms’ removal instructions, and a power drill readily available in his family home. So, apparently if criminals use power tools to deface or alter the gun, it's the gun and accessory manufacturer's fault. Do these people realize that... A) guns need to come apart for a variety of reasons and B) criminals deface their guns all the time...? Perhaps not. Obviously anything less than indestructible is criminal negligence. Coming soon: lawsuits over allowing illegal SBR conversions using a hacksaw. If anything this just shows how ultimately pointless NY's laws are.

Hopefully this won't be an issue soon as NY (and NJ and CA and OR, etc) unconstitutional gun laws get the smack down from the courts. Show me historical tradition from 1789 of gun laws that limited the capacity a firearm could use, or the shape of its grip, or the length of the barrel, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
