A Logical Response To The Insane NY Laws

[K-22]

If NY wants to make ridiculous laws regarding firearms and ammo, perhaps the industries that produce these items should assist them.

First step, NO sales of firearms, firearms parts, or magazines to ANY governmental agency that operates within the confines of New York State.
Also, no firearms owned by government agencies in NY would be accepted by any manufacturer for modification, maintainence, or repair at any facility operated or owned by the manfacturer.

I think this idea could get a little traction if properly applied.

Best,
Gary

Add no sales of ammunition.

I'd love it but we all know it just isn't going to happen.

CT is right behind NY. There is a bill on the table that gun owners would need liability insurance on their guns and a 50% tax rate on ammo.
I guess they think ammo is just as bad for you as cigarettes

There are over 50,000 cops in NYS. Not going to happen. Too much profit loss.

Then the gun industry deserves what it gets. The short term profit loss will be outweighed by the long term loss if the NY and similar state laws are to go unchallenged. The aim in NY and CT is to kill the gun industry. They will not have to come and take your guns, all they have to do is make them useless. In fact I think they like to see the NRA ranting and shouting telling people that the "guvmint" is coming to get our guns. In the meantime they will just tax ammo and guns and replacement parts just like cigarettes so that you can no longer afford to use your guns. You can keep your ARs and just hang them on the wall like a picture that you look at but never touch.

This kind of legislation runs into a legal problem. Remember "shall not be infringed" means excessive cost and taxation limits private gun ownership to those who can afford it leaving out the low income segment of our society. Any first year law student should be able to jam this up in the legal system.

Kimber and Henry and Remington should move out of New York as well. As well as those I don't recall right now.

I see that CDNN, a fairly large distribution house, has noted on its website that it will not sell any magazines of any kind to anyone in New York. Just one small step, but it's a step in the right direction.

Not that they would get one, but I doubt that little proviso would apply to an order from NYSP or NYPD.

Do not give up . Tell them that you are not going away and that you will do what ever it takes to defend your 2 amendment rights . March on the state Capital every time you can write your leaders and call them every chance you get blog them down with correspondence from you.NEVER NEVER give up.

I agree. As a point of clarification, Henry is in Bayonne, NJ now. Mr. Imperato, the owner, moved all HRA operations out of Brooklyn, NY a while back.

I wish something like this would be done. I like the idea of "two can play at this game"

 

[nawilson]

If I recall, Barrett isn't selling their big rifles to anyone in California, including law enforcement. It would be great if all the other gun companies followed suit in NY.

 

[Travis15R]

There is going to be such a mass ammo and gun buying craze that I dont see how they would lose money by not selling to NY, CT. This is where companies have to take a look and see what is more important. Sending a message to protect the 2A, or the bottom dollar.

really???
we collectively didn't have a whole lot of trouble buying up their entire production run of loaded ammo and reloading components over the last few weeks.
We can and have saturated their production capacity ... they don't need NY

The newly-proposed "Gun Safety Act of 2013" in Maryland, Senate Bill 281, as written, would define the term "Assault Weapon" so broadly it would include all ARs, even those made during the '94 - '04 AWB. Marylanders who own such "assault weapons" would have until November 1 to register them with the Maryland State Police. Registration will allow you to keep your "assault weapon", but it will become illegal to transport it anywhere.

Sometimes you just want to scream...
