Parker 213 Posted January 9, 2013 * New limits on the number of bullets in a gun magazine So, let's guess at what magic number will they settle on? It's already 10 rnds. now, unless one is lucky to have some grandfathered magazines. Geez, a 10/22 with a ten-round magazine could fall into the AW category. Theatrics is all it is. People have been whipped into a frenzy. After eleven years of CoBIS (gun DNA for handguns) in New York, which proved to be an utter failure, even Gov. Cuomo admitted it was a waste of money and it was discontinued in March of 2012. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parker 213 Posted January 9, 2013 He will have no chance againts Christie for the 2016 Pres run. I dunno. The new movie "Rodham" that's in the works just may help lay the groundwork for someone's next aspiration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted January 9, 2013 Saw it this morning. Sickening! Him and his other Nazi bastard minions are just that. When the hell are they, or any others for that fact admit that new gun laws portrayed against legal gun owners won't do squat for their states and crime statistics. Screw 'em...

BOOMSTICK 6 Posted January 9, 2013 From the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/09/cuomo-to-propose-assault-weapon-ban_n_2438879.html "The priority for Cuomo and Silver is to close what they say are loopholes that let some weapon designs escape a ban on assault weapons. They also want to outlaw the high-capacity clips." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TK421 2 Posted January 9, 2013 Saw this today and thought it is something that really needs to be thought through. By now I’m sure every knows about the "wiki-weapons" project trying to engineer a firearm that can be printed on a 3d printer by anyone to make gun control laws irrelevant. But that concept and use of current technology can already make magazine bans irrelevant. This is something that they didn’t need to think about in 1994 but would be impossible to overcome today. http://www.examiner.com/article/magazine-control-will-be-made-irrelevant-even-sooner-than-gun-control-will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcbethr 42 Posted January 9, 2013 I believe the new magic number is going to be 7. It's funny, I heard that too. I wonder why 7? To grandfather in 1911's? I was wondering why Chicago settled on 12 rounds in a magazine. I figured that somebody owned an HK USP and wanted to keep it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knuckle Sandwich 5 Posted January 9, 2013 More strict AWB, 7 round mag cap, NICS for ammo, FTF ban, outlaw preban mags, etc. Apparently this was hearsay from another forum. Though I see it as a likely direction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted January 10, 2013 NRA President David Keene "fires back" at Cuomo: http://politicker.co...-back-at-cuomo/ National Rifle Association President David Keene gave a rare post-Newtown interview on the Brooklyn GOP Radio podcast this evening in which he responded to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s vow to bring New York some of the “toughest” gun control laws in the country. Mr. Keene began by taking issue with Governor Cuomo’s prediction that other states would follow New York’s example and pass similar laws. “I was amazed that he said other states will follow New York,” Mr. Keene said. “They haven’t done that in the past, there’s no reason to believe that they will in the future.” Mr. Keene continued by noting “New York already has very tough gun laws” and predicting Governor Cuomo’s gun control plan would not “make any difference one way or the other in terms of violence of any kind in the state.” ... “The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunters. Hunters use firearms. Hunters have every right to use firearms, as do target shooters, as do gun collectors, as do others,” said Mr. Keene. “The fact of the matter is that the Second Amendment has to do with personal and national defense. It was put into the Constitution by the founders who considered it as important indeed as the First Amendment.” ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Combat Auto 174 Posted January 10, 2013 Cuoma is a nasty man...His ranting and raving is dispicable and offensive discriminating agains legal, honerable, sports-shooters! He will turn NYS into another NYC which trully is a totalatarian citys as far as gun control.. Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever necessary.[1] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
