They’re talking about upstate NY not NYC. Then again in upstate NY permit cost about $50 in NYC it’s about $500+.. It really doesn’t make much difference. Somewhere along the line they have your name, address and a list of every handgun you own. They just pass another midnight law and send you a letter saying turn them in. If you refuse they send the SWAT team
I never intended to buy a modern sporting rifle. I just had no interest. But with the ban in California at the end of the year, I finally went out to buy one yesterday. I pick it up in 10 days.
It’s ironic that the state’s attempt at discouraging scary looking gun purchases actually got me to go buy one when I never had an interest before.
There was an old Chinese guy at the gun store picking up a newly purchased rifle. He looked about 70 years old and thin as a rail. It didn’t look like he had handled a rifle before in his entire life.
It seems gun banners focus on the “evil look” of the “modern sporting rifles”. A few years ago I acquired a rather conventional looking rifle, an M1A, the semi-auto version of the M14. Incredibly when gun banner Sen Dianne Feinstein pushed her latest AWB, the formidable M1A wasn’t included on the proposed banned list, though it’s 7.62×51 NATO round is approx twice the power of most “modern sporting rifles.”

It’s all the same people buying guns over and over again. Remember, only 3% of gun owners own more than one or two.
