50 cal ban in NY
TriggerFinger notes that the ban is being heard today in the NY assembly:
Legislation is expected to be heard today (Tuesday May 17) in the New York State Assembly Codes Committee that will ban the .50 caliber rifle. The legislation (A4471), does allow for compensation by the state to current owners, but only at a “fair market value” (translated: whatever they feel like paying you and not to exceed $8,500). In addition, the law gives you only 30 days to dispose of your rifle and you must turn your rifle into the state police PERSONALLY.

The beginning of the end. In my opinion this is a direct violation of the costitution. Only question I have is this, how do they know hwo ownes a .50 cal rifle??

And absolutely NO ONE will turn in the ammo first.
So why do they fear us, I keep asking myself.
