NY’s ammo regulations SUCK!

[New York Hillbilly]

Yesterday I decided to pick up 2 boxes of 30.06 ammunition for this and next deer season, and to check one of my rifles that has been put away for a long time.  After waiting almost a half hour to get anyone to come to the sporting goods section, the fella that showed up immediately starts apologizing for how bad the process is to purchase the ammunition. Little did I realize how bad it would turn out. After giving my name, address, height, weight, address, occupation, showing my driver license, and social security number, and writing the check to pay, the damned computer said the purchase was being placed on some sort of delay for review, by who the hell knows, and I could not buy the ammunition.  The clerk said it could have a determination “in a half hour or as long as 2 days”. WTF!!!! 

This shit has got to change! NY has gone to hell in a hand basket!

The way things are here, I really think it’s just a matter of time before I sell everything and go back to Alaska.

Yep that’s exactly why I go to PA to buy ammo. No BS ,got pull your own ammo off the shelf and buy it. No wait time or BS fees.

Hunters do not vote, and the NYS politicians know it. It will only keep getting worse as long as hunters and gun owners stay apathetic and refuse to vote a bunch of our ultra-liberal politicians out......Starting with Hochul. We hunters are an apathetic bunch and get exactly what we deserve. We only know how to whine and complain about being abused. Too many people refuse to put their votes where their mouths are.

I do my own reloading and so I am pretty much off the grid as far as the state government is concerned. To me part of the cost of any guns that I buy are the price of the dies and whatever reloading equipment that pertains to that particular caliber. I have a lifetime supply of powder and components, so I am not affected by their silly laws. But that is only part of the battle against those that would try to harass us out of gun ownership and hunting (and believe me NYS is just full of them). We have to stand up for ourselves at the polls. Nothing else will slow this steady growth of abuses.
