I think this is going to be the wakeup call that many needed.........banning assault weapons, high capacity mags and the likes didn't really affect the average gun owner, but now that something as simple as buying ammo is is going to be nearly impossible it may get more people to make some noise.

false.....the only place you can get good pizza in NY is in NYC or on Long Island.

ok, makes sense....thanks for the clarification.

http://www.governor.ny.gov/nysafeact/gun-reform follow the "interactive tool" to see if you need to register.........let me know what you think, they show photos of all the features, it sure looks to me like a magazine that simply protrudes from the bottom of the grip.

another part of the law that is a little tricky, is with handguns...........it says if your semi auto pistol "has the capacity to accept an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip", it needs to be registered with the state as an assault weapon.......now take a Glock for example, I know that there are several manufacturers that offer high capacity magazines that extend beyond the grip for these guns........so, if I'm reading the law correctly, not knowing that someone, somewhere may offer an aftermarket part for your gun, may put you in violation.

I tell you what, these people who are being charged under the new law, are the same criminals who would have been arrested without it............I read a report in my local paper yesterday about all the arrests under the new law, I had to laugh because these people are all just criminals anyway who could give two sh**ts less about any law.....only difference is now they're being charged with a higher level of crime with hopefully a stiffer penalty............... wow,what a novel idea.

so you're saying they can deny you the sale if you don't have a good reason for buying frequently or in bulk, or are you saying they will come after you to find out why if you raise a red flag for frequent or large purchases?

that's messed up, I know a lot of people who have worked in pet stores and animal clinics and they don't eat Chinese food.......

that's exactly what I'm saying........

from what I hear, NYC has had gun laws in affect for years that make the SAFE Act look like not much of a change to what they currently have to deal with.

I'm pretty sure if an anti-hunter saw that video they wouldn't be too shocked......probably exactly what they envision anyway.

I've shot deer through both front shoulders hitting the lungs and probably heart, and watched them propel themselves 100 yards just using their back legs............killing stuff is not pretty, but part of the sport.

as of now, there is no state or countrwide database where your name can be typed in and all your guns show up, (unless it's a handgun and I'm fairly confident that info is kept by the agency who issued the permit)..............manufacturers keep track of who they distribute their guns to, so all the manufacturer knows is what gunshop they sent it to...........the gunshop then keeps the record of who they sold it to.......after that, with private sales, the gun eventually got "lost"........of course, with the new law that last part should be eliminated.

I'm guessing most haven't read the law it in it's entirety, much like the hunting regulations that most don't read....................they just hear bits and pieces and go with it, I've read a few things in this thread that have left me scratching my head.

I'm pretty sure that information is retained by the gun dealer...........at least that's how it was done, it may have changed.

only problem might be posting the video...were they bad shots? maybe, maybe not......I don't know that particular hunters ability and I wasn't looking through the scope.

do people really think deer just fall over peacefully and close their eyes when shot with a gun? I doubt there are many hunters, who have shot their share of deer, that haven't seen one flop around for a few seconds....even when shot perfectly it's going to happen...........

Thank God he's back, now I can stop watching "Here comes Honey Boo Boo"................

looks to me like he said it should be MANDATORY to shoot two does before being able to take a buck, that's a little different than just being allowed to take as many doe as you want.

are you sure Caumsett is open for hunting to the general public? it's not listed as one of the State parks open to hunting and I can't find anything on their website saying it is............just curious.

that would be nice......and I doubt Riverhead could limit a State park hunt to their residents only........not sure who owns the North Fork Preserve, but that place is overrun with deer.

a lot of the areas that are having the problem, aren't parks or other large tracts of land...........the deer are literally living in peoples yards........not what you would consider safe places for just anybody to be shooting.

it was in the local paper a week or two ago, pretty sure it was just for the old Grumman property at this point..............and once again, for residents only.

I've heard there are a few hunting groups protesting it...........hunter's protesting the killing of deer, so they can get to kill them..................... interesting concept.
