These clowns love making laws that already exist. Didn't they pass legislation last year regarding pistol converters? Doesn't the current NY ammo background check already prohibit prohibited persons from buying ammo?

Prohibits the purchase of ammunition if such purchaser failed a background check

i thought that was already law with the ammo background check

they need to make a double law now ..

LMFAO

Relates to prohibiting the possession of certain .50 caliber firearms.

Hmm... I wonder how many crimes have been committed using a .50 cal.
I suspect an ulterior motive as to why they want to ban a caliber that can shoot through engine blocks and hit a target 2 miles away.

FUNY!

 

[Nebowictz]

Because these laws will definitely work this time and there’s no way criminals could circumvent them…..

Because they are scary sniper weapons. They have tried this for the last 10 years with no success. I am kind of shocked they have not gotten it though as it really would not have any impact (or bitching) from the average person. Its specifically tailored for 50BMG with the muzzle energy requirement.
Interesting enough .338 Lapua is perfectly fine even though its been verified at 2400 meters

.338 Lapua is fine, FOR NOW.

once they get the door open they'll start banning any caliber that is known to shoot long distance. It will eventually affect .308 and .223 (even though .223 isn't anywhere as long as the bigger stuff).

They are scared because they HAVE done things that would make someone want to reach out and touch them.

 

[Robin]

What's to stop them. They have dominion over the ruled, no longer citizens.

Despite many efforts, NYS has not been disarmed......................bambi still dies, killed by vicious drooling MAGA Pirates, who lust after firearms, meat, and who eat the heart out of liberals................

TV shows likely be banned in NYS...........

Any tv show about Firearms....outdoor channel.



There is no count of how many guns exist in NYS........and that keeps the twins and Xi, up at night.

I estimate 15 million as a bottom line figure............

• S-399, Makes it illegal for certain persons to possess or sell a pistol converter or a converted pistol. Companion A-199.

The text shows how clueless these people are:

Within the State of New York, these "Clock switches" have been uncovered in multiple police investigations in areas such as Poughkeepsie, Suffolk County, Syracuse, Buffalo, Troy, Brooklyn, Tuckahoe, and Queens.

Clock switches? I say pass the bill- I don't need a switch for any of my clocks. I find that leaving my clocks on allows them to keep time much better than turning them off.

And then they get smart by using a misleading summary. The summary says:

Makes it illegal for certain persons to possess or sell a pistol converter or a converted pistol.

But the text of the bill actually bans handguns that COULD Be converted to 'machine guns' (Glocks and clones):

The bill would not place any new restrictions on convertible pistols that have previously been sold in New York or those currently lawfully possessed by New Yorkers. These pistols would remain lawful to possess and carry throughout the state by those licensed to do so. Only future sales and transfers of convertible pistols would be prohibited, subject to the numerous exceptions in the bill. Only companies that manufacture and sell convertible pistols- namely Glock and makers of copycat weapons that duplicate the designs that make Glock pistols uniquely susceptible to easy conversion into machine guns--would be impacted by the new prohibition. Other than Glock and those who duplicate its designs, no other major manufacturer produces semi-automatic pistols that can be converted into machine guns solely by the installation of a pistol converter.

 

[fresch]

Hahaha, retards.
"solely by the installation of a pistol converter."
Anything is a pistol converter for any semi that can run full auto after you MODIFY it.

solely
