No one said don't buy a hunting/fishing lic and then stop hunting & fishing ? With this sweeping new gun law, many gun owners in NY are now criminals guilty of a misdermeanor or a felony anyway. If you were caught hunting without a lic., big deal, would that be worst than owning more than 10 firearms, or a 10 round clip ? I don't think so. Plus if you think Lord Cuomo is finished with the gun issue, you better wake up. Like CA., all detachable magazines are next.
This is why NY gun owners are screwed, only a few will stand up, the rest are sheep. 80-100 million gun owners in the USA, and 4 million NRA members defending the 2nd Amendment. NY was the only colony that never cast a vote on independence, they abstained, and never purged the loyalists from the state. The Empire state, how true, but it's more like the British Empire.
Unfortunately I have a lifetime lic., but I'll never buy a archery, trapping, or muzzleloader lic. in NY again.
Christ defeated the Roman Empire & Ghandi defeated the British Empire, with mass civil disobedience.
