NYSRPA files suit in Buffalo

I have a NY question. I just read http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/21/n...ewly-passed-gun-restriction.html?ref=nyregion

The gist is Cuomo wants a change such that you can have 10 round mag but only load 7. Ridiculous is it not but it seems designed to avoid making the 7 round mag rule a de facto gun ban - which runs into Heller and McDonald problems.

However, since I don't know the NY law in detail, do they mention that you can chamber one and then top off the mag to seven?

Just curious. That's not rare for 1911s and that's not going to make a 1911 significantly less or more dangerous.

PS - good luck on the suits. Buffalo was one of my home towns. Still has a place in my feelings!

None of these people understand guns.

This is a blurry point for everyone. Many law enforcement officials, including the Oneida County Pistol Permit Clerk (who is against the law), read the law to set a limit of seven total bullets in the gun.

How true, how true. Gun violence is a symptom of overall violet behavior. Fortunately, it is not common in the United States, but these laws attempt to treat the symptom instead of the disease. Restricting gun rights will have no effect one way or the other on the homicide rate. They simply limit choices available to people who have never commit a single crime in their lives.

And you're right. None of these people do understand guns.

Thank you! In what area of Buffalo did you reside? It's really a nice area and it's coming around.

I first lived near UB when I went to school and then my wife and I lived in Amherst and then Tonawanda.

I miss Beef on Weck and the Anchor Bar Chicken wings.

Not to divert off the topic. I used to drool at the handguns at a store on Sheridan Drive but didn't fight through the hassle of getting one - and then we moved out of state.

PS - excuse a fumble on the reply

Ah, Amherst. What a beautiful area!

Guess what I had for lunch? Beef on weck. :)

You can always have La Nova pizza and I think Anchor Bar wings shipped to you. :)

Just out of curiosity, as far as you know, does the same confusion still apply to 8-10 shot revolvers?

The have been several discussions in the Revolver subforum that have been left hanging for a while now.

Yes, there is a lot of confusion and debate over whether revolvers are covered by the ban. Fortunately it will be a moot point in a few days.

And you can buy old Colt .45 seven-round magazines from a few limited dealers. But they’re not in wide production.

Umm, yeah, that's the ticket! 1911 magazines are "not in wide production." Just ask Colt, Wilson Combat, Chip McCormick, Springfield Armory, Remington, Ed Brown . . .

Anybody else have the sneaking suspicion that one of those "or four men in a closed room" said, " . . . but Andy, my 1911 has a seven-round magazine, and I don't want IT to be illegal. . . " ?

I believe he was saying that 7-round 1911 magazines are not widely available. And it's true that most of the "name" manufacturers now ship their full-size and Commander-size 1911s with 8-round magazines, but Colt still ships their 1991 series pistols with original style, 7-round mags. Check-Mate offers 1911 mags with the original 7-round, GI-style flat follower in both blue and stainless steel. So they are available, but you do have to look for them. Metalform used to offer 7-rounders a few years ago, but they may have dropped them.
 
Just for grins

Someone posted this at another board. It is a list of crimes in New York that are considered less offensive than a person who owns magazine for a firearm that is greater than the state has deemed "enough."

Note that luring a child, 3rd degree rape, or criminally negligent homicide are somehow less offensive than the mere possession of a square metal or plastic tube with a spring in it.
