Did you get this right from the NRA?
Edit: While I think the NRA embellishes the facts, NY needs to lay off the gun laws.
Please Contact Your State Legislators Today!
The following anti-gun bills have been referred to various committees in the New York State Senate and Assembly and are awaiting action. Please take the time to contact your lawmakers and urge them to oppose the following list of anti-gun bills:
On a positive note, during one of the state's worst fiscal crises, the NRA would like to highlight worthwhile legislation. Assembly Bill 5427 and Assembly Bill 6388 and their Senate companion, S 1152, seek to eliminate the state's ballistic imaging database (COBIS). New York taxpayers should be outraged that over the last decade nearly 50 million dollars have been spent on this supposed crime-fighting tool that has resulted in ZERO prosecutions.
- Assembly Bill 801A and its Senate companion, S 1598A, would require five-year renewals on pistol licenses.
- Assembly Bill 1093 and its Senate companion, S 1715, would create liability for legal firearm retailers when criminals misuse firearms.
- Assembly Bill 1275 and its Senate companion, S 1712, would outlaw the private sale and transfer of long guns.
- Assembly Bill 1326 and its Senate companion, S 5228, would outlaw all handguns sold in the state not equipped with so-called "child-proofing" measures.
- Assembly Bill 2881 and its Senate companion, S 2379, would ban the sale of common self-defense and hunting ammunition.
- Assembly Bill 2884 would prohibit gun shows on public property.
- Assembly Bill 2885 and Assembly Bill 2910 would establish standards for guns sold in the state and would allow the state police to prevent ANY firearm they deem unsafe from being transferred into the state.
- Assembly Bill 3200 and its Senate companion, S 2953, would require ammunition coding or bullet serialization.
- Assembly Bill 3346 would outlaw affordable handguns commonly used for self-defense.
- Assembly Bill 3477 and its Senate companion, S 1188, would expand the failed 10-year-old, ballistic imaging program to include even more firearms.
- Assembly Bill 4441 and its Senate companion, S 4338, would prohibit the manufacture, sale or transfer of handguns not equipped with so-called "smart gun" technology.
- Assembly Bill 5844 and its Senate companion, S 3098, would prohibit keeping firearms available for self-defense in the home.
- Assembly Bill 6157 and Assembly Bill 6294 and their Senate companion, S 4084, would drastically expand the state's ban on so-called "assault weapons" to include virtually all semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can accept detachable magazines.
- Assembly Bill 6468B and its Senate companion, S 6005, would outlaw the sale of all semi-automatic handguns not equipped with so-called "microstamping" technology.
- Senate Bill 4752 would ban certain firearms based upon bore diameter.
Call your lawmakers and urge them to support A 5427, A 6388 and S 1152 and do away with this wasteful program TODAY. Also, politely remind them that many of the NRA-opposed bills listed above will cost millions of taxpayer dollars, and like COBIS, without reducing crimes.

People need to STOP registering their guns and build their own.
The first one highlighted in red, supposedly about banning the private sale of long guns, only talks about the definition of gun show. Unless I'm reading this wrong they've extended the meaning to include banning the private sale of long guns.
Maybe I'm missing big picture stuff, could somebody clarify?Originally Posted by Assembly Bill 1275

Heh, with a little modification this could be fun.
Notice the definition of Gun Show and tell me if this could include your home?
The term gun show shall include any building, structure or facility where firearms, rifles or shotguns are offered for sale [or], transfer OR EXCHANGE and any grounds used in connection with the event.
I believe that this is not an exaggeration. Private sales are affected here.

Did you read the sponorship of those bills? You'll find that an equal number of republicans asked to be listed as ulti-sponsors of those bills.
On the federal level, the rights of law abiding citizens to possess firearms has been expanded more than any previous republican administration.
With 60 Democrates in the senate, a Democratic adminsitration, and a Democratic majority in the house, the right to bear arms in National Parks was passed and signed into law. Prior Republican administrations couldn't do that.
Hey, I would get rid of the crank, hook up an electric motor in its place. Actually, if you also hooked up a couple of servo motors on the tripod, a radio control receiver to control the servos and the motor, and a wireless camera, you could mount that sucker on your roof, and have a remote controlled gattling gun you could control from your family room couch.
Why the hell doesn't the military do this??????
Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem. Ronald Reagan
Do you know WHY these bills are being presented? Because these politicians have realised that with all the bad **** they keep passing people are getting pissed, and violence, real violence, in the form of population uprising is on the horizon.
The first step for a govt that wants total control is to disarm the population.
Guns and ammo sales are thruogh the roof... try buying 9mm ammo.
this **** is going to hit the fan ion a very bad way.
