New York Senate passes tough gun law

 

7 round limit on all magazines, nothing grandfathered in.

 

Ridiculous.

Assault weapons -- defined as any rifle with a "military style" feature, such as a bayonet or a telescoping stock -- that are currently owned would be grandfathered and would have to be registered with the state. Magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds and manufactured before 1994, which are currently legal, would have to be turned over to authorities or sold out of state within one year. If a magazine has a capacity between eight and 10, it would have to be retrofitted to only hold seven rounds.

Was talking magazines.

 

Hopefully The Cato Institute or the NRA get a fast track to challenge this.

So how will they know who has magazines with more than 7 capacity?

 

Will we go back to having "Writs of Assistance" where police or soldiers can write their own search warrant to 'check' if you are following law? After all, a paper has already published a list of likely 'violators'.

 

This law has the potential, note - potential - to create situations similar to the days before 1776. I know, a little dramatic. But listen to Judge Napalitano on the Stamp Act and associated 'Writs of Assistance' below.

Ridiculous.

 

Curious as to why you think this is ridiculous.

Long live the "progressive" agenda. I think many will find out in the end it is repressive.

Forced registration and confiscation by having to sale things you have?

 

7 round limit? Why? 7 rounds is what a 1911 holds and guess where Kimber and Remington make their 1911's....

I think this is ridiculous because the government is limiting the rights of citizents that are protected in the Constitution. New York, and the small number of states with identical ideals, will reap the benefits of their ignorance. Lets check out the violent crime rate of states like New York and Illinois vs. states like Texas, Kentucky, and Indianna.

Newwwwww Yoooooorrrrrkkkkk.......

And what if people do not turn over or sell the guns with more than 10 rounds or made before 94?

I'm not Constitutional expert but I don't see any definitive protection for all types of guns.

Potential proposals from the President:

 

Obama is rolling out his gun proposals soon. Here’s what you need to know.

How can limiting weapons and magazines not be infringing on the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms?

This solves nothing.

Again, no legal expert but I have never thought it was open-ended ie unlimited.

 

What SCOTUS cases are there in this regards?
