Looks like New Yorks tightening up!

I wonder what's going to happen to the 200 year old Remington plant in NY?

**** move it to Oklahoma, we will welcome them with open arms. No need for them to stay around people who want them gone. come where you have the American people's support, the heart of the country. Hell I'm sure their sales figures show the middle & South to be the highest volume of sales anyhow.

I'm not surprised the cockroaches in NY passed this stuff. They try to make themselves out to be the most patriotic people in the country yet they support & pass garbage like this which suppresses American citizens. Not to mention their lifestyles are the furthest thing from what being an American is all about.

I expect to see the middle of the country & Southern states rally together & oppose the majority of upcoming measures. Or at least I pray they band together & hold to true American liberties.

You know, I assume you're probably a decent guy and well intentioned but the last time I heard anyone refer to a fellow countryman as a "cockroach" was when Hutus were justifying slaughtering Tutsis in Rwanda. That kind of language does nothing except scare off people who might otherwise lend an ear and support some of what the pro-gun, pro-second amendment community has to say. One or two voices spewing what you've written here at a rally or protest will do enormous damage to a cause you, presumably, care about.

The people with whom you disagree are fellow American citizens - and even if you oppose the laws they want to pass as completely wrong-headed and foolish you can elevate the discussion by keeping what you say at an elevated level. Diving for the gutter is not the way to go.

Now the disclaimers: I grew up in NY City and left after college to be a career military officer. I served 24 years, retired, and now am a military department civilian (we'll keep the specific department's name out of this because I don't speak for it). I made the decision years ago not to ever move back to NY over issues just like this but that hasn't turned me into a hater of the people. Like someone posted earlier it's still a great place to visit (and so is the rest of the State) but the people have been duped, lulled, or bought off into allowing a growing nanny-state to manage their lives for them. They will come to regret this foolish vote.

I pray that this law is overturned for the sake of the innocent people living in NY.

We boycotted CTD and DIcks for this. Lets boycott NY

This is just the opening round in another battle to pull down the Second Amendment. The NRA and other pro gun organizations will file law suits before both the New York Supreme Court and with SCOTUS. It may take a year or so to get heard so the folks in New York are going to have to set tight, pack the stuff in the attic and wait.

Now is the time to write our Congressmen and Representatives in Washington and let them know we have very long memories and will remember how they vote when the battle moves to Washington. Also, if you aren't an NRA member, now might be a real good time to join.

It must suck to be a New Yorker......

I can't imagine living up there. Or anywhere out of the south for that matter. But especially in the NE. It would be horrible to live in that liberal hole part of the country. Now they are even worse than California.

Since New Yorkers have a choice to permanently modify, surrender, or sell out of state their no longer legal but previously grandfathered in magazines, what prices do you think they'll fetch?

The current atf form is bad enough, liberals will try to get this passed in nyc, then push it on the rest of their blue states.
