I'm confused. Did it just pass?

Stop making me smile mbethr. I want to be pissed right now. That is all.

Just heard that fu(k Cuomo is looking to ban anything with more than one evil feature.

I hope I wake up in the morning to some positive news.....

 

If you want your head to spin before bedtime, read this. This is what will be put to vote tonight:

43-18.

Looks like NYers just got steamrolled 43 yays 18 nays

Isn't the session over?

passed 43-18... Get ready folks, we're next.

Did this crap pass? 43 yeas and 18 nays?? Please tell me I heard incorrectly. I'm going to be sick.

Holy Shit

passed 43-18... Get ready folks, we're next.

That sucks for NY, but I don't think it will go the same way here. Fingers and toes crossed.

Wow......... Not good

Yep it passed 43-18.

Jesus effing Christ. The cancer is spreading, my friends.

NIC's checks for ammo!!!

No more private ammo sales!!!

We need to stop this momentum tomorrow somehow, before Biden's group sees that they are getting sh*t passed

"Assault weapons -- defined as any rifle with a "military style" feature, such as a bayonet or a telescoping stock -- that are currently owned would be grandfathered and would have to be registered with the state. Magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds and manufactured before 1994, which are currently legal, would have to be turned over to authorities or sold out of state within one year. If a magazine has a capacity between eight and 10, it would have to be retrofitted to only hold seven rounds."

 

Wonder who's going to start the business of converting 10/22 magazines to 7-rounders?

NY was already WAY below NJ on the freedom scale........

What happened? Did it pass?

"The expanded ban on assault weapons would broaden the definition of such weapons, banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles with detachable magazines and one military-style feature, as well as semiautomatic shotguns with one military-style feature. New Yorkers who already own such guns could keep them but would be required to register them with the state."

 

"The most significant new proposal would require mental health professionals to report to local mental health officials when they believe that a patient is likely to harm themselves or others. Law enforcement would then be authorized to confiscate any firearm owned by the patient; therapists would not be sanctioned for a failure to report dangerous patients if they acted “in good faith.”"

 

That applies across the board? Mental heath professional are required to report you to local officials if they deem so?

 

"The legislation would also increase penalties for gun crimes, require background checks for most private gun sales and create a statewide database of gun licenses."

Yep.

"And in response to a controversy that erupted after The Journal News, a daily newspaper, published the names and addresses of handgun permit holders in Westchester and Rockland Counties, the legislation would prohibit disclosure of the names on a new statewide gun database, and would allow individuals to exempt their own names and addresses from being disclosed by counties that have such databases."

Freedom just took another blow in NY. I can only hope the public can remember who voted for it when they go to vote.

This is just sickening. Keep giving away your individual freedoms until there is nothing left. The rally on the 8th is looking more and more important.

Can they take it to court? Is there any chance for an injunction?

"The Legislature was scheduled to be in session this week only on Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Cuomo, eager for a vote on the gun package, said he had waived the three-day waiting period for new legislation that the State Constitution requires, something he has done in the past to allow for speedy votes on controversial legislative agreements."

 

At least New Yorkers have a choice of three firearm friendly states to move to -- Vermont, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

 

We only have two -- Delaware or Pennsylvania.

They obviously have no regard for any constitution

Mayor Doucheberg is probably celebrating with a responsible sized soft drink as we speak.
