Wonder if that can be used in a legal attack against the unsafe?

The part where he says "otherwise sensible" makes me think they'll push for tougher laws.

They still can't wrap their heads around the fact that laws don't prevent crime, they merely define it.
Criminals by definition, are willing to break laws. Politicians overlook common sense....

It will just make each gun worth $1500. Your right.

So they will go to jail for a few days and Obama will pardon them before he leaves office. They will get out and kill a beautiful young women and they will say look at the travesty we need more gun control.

True and one of the top five law breakers are the politicians them selves
Like Saltwater60 says, these crims get caught bringing guns into NYS, 3 months later they get caught bringing guns into NYS again, 3 months later they get caught.........
Meanwhile, the 600 guns they brought into NYS when they didnt get caught are being used in numerous crimes including murder.
Lock 'em up!!

I think many here and throughout the state would be very surprised by how correct you are. Most do not even serve any time for these guns crimes. I would say that more than 90% are plead down to non-gun crimes.
It is a joke to say the least!

The answer is a simple one. Become a free, Constitutional carry state and the black market will dry up. It's not that difficult!

They know exactly. They just haven't figured out that we have them figured out and see their gun control bullshit for what it is, a push for disarmament.

The other thing Vance proposes is to make possession or sale of 20 or more pistols an A1 felony (currently a B felony to possess more than 10).
Just for comparison, having 20 unlicensed pistols would become a more horrible crime than:
First degree rape - B felony
First degree robbery - B felony
Assaulting a judge - C felony
Predatory sexual assault - A2 felony
Using a chemical or biological WMD - A2 felony

The "ineffectiveness" due to sources outside the state has already been brought up by Cuomo as a way to push for more laws at the federal level.

It's amazing isn't it. I'm glad you stuck up for me. My father arrested a known mentally ill man selling him guns with no background check. Oh and dos I forget the mention the mentally ill man was a felon. My father arrested him he requested a jury trial and the judge in my city said in dismissing it in the interest of justice. Jury trials why bother right.
A guy at my work is batshit crazy he threatened to bring a gun in and shoot us all and poison is with the coffe maker. Good thing I don't drink coffe right. So my work called the cops. He no showed for his court date, second date came around and all charges were dismissed. So now he can go buy a better gun to shoot is with.
You would all be very surprised how often these things happen even in nys. This is what we need to focus on. Also the mirder solve rate being less than 20% in a lot of cities. So you can kill some one 5 times then the 6 th time you might or might not get caught. Not blaming the cops. I'm blaming the resources and no snitching man.

The fact that anybody can just buy an FRS AR and convert it makes no goddamn sense. But here we are. I've been asking several local and national gun groups what they are going to do about places like NY, MA and CA and NONE of them have anything meaningful to say. They just say, "elect pro gun politicians." Well BS! Hell, the "republicans" helped give us unsafe. Plus, that's not how rights work. Is this really it? Is that legal abomination of a decision from the Second Circuit it? That's how we lose our rights forever? Unless SCOTUS decides to grow a pair of balls Trump's win means nothing for us. What do we have to do? Wait until a liberal wins the White House and passes a federal law? I'm really pissed off.
