The long gun looked like a semi-auto shotgun with standard capacity mag. So I would love for a politician to explain how the assault rifle ban is the answer to saving everyone's life. The media is by far the biggest influence among these politicians. I am willing to bet 90% of the liberals that passed this asinine bill got their information from the media and NOT the police reports.

Most would not argue with you about the background checks nor will I it is more on the issue about the state telling us we can not buy guns that have proven reliable in the field. There was a article in field & stream saying how the sporting rifle (known to politicians and most anit-gun as assault rifles) has found its way into the hunting crowd for various reasons. These rifles are also now available in various calibers ranging from .22LR to .50 caliber so to say any assault is the same is like saying all cars or boats are the same. It is the lack of common sense among law makers that make this bill so asinine not to mention they are only limiting law abiding citizens because I am pretty sure criminals will end up using high capacity magazines or at least fill them all the way. By the way that video posted earlier is worth a listen many valid points.

Spot on my man!

The remington autoloading hunting rifle uses detachable magizine and has an available thumb hole stock which deems it banned but is still a hunting rifle. Sorry Chris I am not trying to argue with you, but it all comes down to how to intrepret the bill. With my utmost respect, Chas

Craziness all around from this new legislation!!! I'm speechless and confused on all of this. Flybuster, if I'm reading the law correctly (and I've read it 10 times and I'm still confused), but I would say that any gun you currently own would be grandfathered in but have to be registered if it: Has a detachable magazine, is semi-automatic AND has "one of Assault Rifle features" such as a muzzle brake (I would consider a ported/vented choke tube like my Carlson's a muzzle brake), pistol grip, bayonet, collapsible stock etc. It must have BOTH a detachable magazine and be semi-auto first, and then possess one of the other AR features to be considered a banned weapon. I would assume most turkey guns which are semi-auto have tube-style magazines so automatically they would be disqualified even if you put a bayonet, collapsible stock, and a muzzle brake on it. - Chris Chris what you mentioned is considered a "2 feature" law (first assault rifle ban) which is now a "one feature" law which does actually classify it as an assault style firearm. in order to strengthen New York's assault weapon ban, expanding its reach and making it easier to enforce. The proposed amendments replace the existing ban consisting of and a "two-feature" test adopted from the now-expired federal assault weapons ban with a clearer "one-feature" test. The "two-feature" test bans any gun that is semi-automatic, has a detachable magazine (in the case of pistols and rifles), and possesses two features that are commonly associated with military weapons. The "one-feature" test would ban semi-automatic guns with detachable magazines that possess one feature commonly associated with military weapons. This section also adds to the list of "features" that characterize a banned weapon.

I cant wait to see how much more unemployment will go up from these proposed new gun laws. Way to hurt the economy even more. we are in a huge downward spiral and have yet to hit rock bottom. We have to be close. [ Post made via Android ]

And the other thing that gets me is the clip fed auto-loading Remington HUNTING rifles are now considered assault rifles under the new bill so that means you can no longer buy them. I live 2.8 miles from PA and truly considering a move.

As the bill reads it doesn't go into effect for 1 year from today. So you're still a law abiding citizen...For a year. haha Chas, where do you see that? i see this in the text of the bill: EFFECTIVE DATE: The bill will take effect immediately except where otherwise provided. Sorry it was about them being registered. Within one year of the effective date, all weapons defined as assault weapons under the new "one-feature" test, as well as weapons grandfathered in under the original assault weapons ban, must be registered. Current owners of these banned weapons may transfer the weapons only to a firearms dealer or transfer to an out of state buyer. All registered owners will be subject to a review of disqualifiers by the State Police. Nevermind you are illegal with most of the state at this time. Sorry!
