New York State Gun Control - Passed!

Technical detail.

Consider Mossberg product MVP Predator. Bolt action is exempt. Uses G.I. magazines. Are 20-30 magazines for this bolt exempt?
 
OK, confession, I didn't read the new law. I'm depending on those forum members who have made that effort (and a big thank you to them).

Does it contain any exemptions for police? For the Governor's bodyguards? Will the police be restricted to 7 shots, on or off duty?

The people in NY State should demand that the law apply to all. To everyone. Why would the Governor be so special as to have bodyguards armed with more than 7 shots (well, 8 with one in the chamber) if "there is no need for so many loaded rounds"?

They are talking about amending it to expempt LEOs. If enough Republicans refuse to do anything but a full repeal there may be enough hard left anti cop Dems not willing the exempt police that the lack of exemption would stay. If the law is openly enforced selectively then it is open to a real challenge constitutionally.
 
Pretty funny--they forgot to include aprovision exempting police officers, so to comply the law, they can only carry seven rounds in each mag. The POA is moving to amned the law to exclude leos as well as retired leos--but why retired leos should be treated any differently than the rest of us is an opne, and devisive, question. Also, the new law requires that all ammo sales must be documented and reported--but the regulations that would allow such reporting does not exist. Some retailers are taking the positionthat they cannot sell ammo at the current time. I've also heard that they are selling guns, butif the gun comes with a mag of greater than seven rounds capacity, they sell the gun without the mag, as the law prohibits them from doing so.
Changes are in the offing. But I soubt they will be broad enough.
 
Cuomo has tried to say that LEOs are exempt per the old law even though the new one supersedes it. As I need to renew my permit in March I expect I will see a line of Retired LEOs turning in their mags to avoid being felons...
