What will be their excuse when they come for you?philip964 wrote:The new law prohibits magazines larger than 7 rounds, right? The old law was 10 rounds, so 30 rounds would be illegal in New York until the United States Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional, right? Or am I all wet again?

Listen up, it has been stated twice already. New York state ALREADY had their own version of the AWB in place and they were limited of 10 round magazines. Any possesion of a magazine with a capacity greater than 10 rounds that was manufactured after 1984 was already illegal. The new law takes it to 7 rounds on pistols.jmra wrote:This happened before the new law passed.RKirkwood wrote:I thought they had a year to sell them outside of NY.
Story is dated Jan 7
New Law didn't pass the Senate until Jan 14. Not sure when it went into effect.
It was 1994...not 1984. The original NY law paralleled the Federal ban, but it did not sunset in 2004. I think I even read that the New York law used the same language as the Federal law. If it did, then the onus is on the State to prove that the mags were not pre-1994.Keith B wrote:Listen up, it has been stated twice already.

EDIT TO ADD: His bother stated he thought the magazines he had purchased were pre-ban (pre-1984) magazines which were legal. The issue will be proving they manufactured before 1984 and were legal per the New York state law.
Well, Sean Hannity has said on his show that he has only loaded 7 rounds in his carry gun to comply with the new law. I would have thought that if this were not acceptable he would have been called on it by now and would have said something about that on his show. Maybe he hasn't been called on it yet, but IDK.ScottDLS wrote: I wonder what owners of guns that don't have available 7 round mags are going to do? Could be a good business in converting say Beretta 92 10 rounders to 7... and Glocks, etc.
I think 10 round mags were grandfathered in the new law, but can only be loaded with 7 rounds. Misdemeanor for 8-10 rounds loaded.C-dub wrote:Well, Sean Hannity has said on his show that he has only loaded 7 rounds in his carry gun to comply with the new law.

See, that is exactly the kind of stupidity that we don't need becoming Federal law. Like they are going to be able to check everyone to see if they are complying...nope, they'll just randomly pick people they catch and make "examples" out of them. Disgusting.sookandy wrote:I think 10 round mags were grandfathered in the new law, but can only be loaded with 7 rounds.

Yeah I heard Sean Hannity say that and wondered... That is really the stupidest law I've ever heard. Why don't they just let you have a Beta C Mag (100rds), but make it illegal for you to put more than 7 in it. Oh yeah, maybe they should make murder illegal....K.Mooneyham wrote:See, that is exactly the kind of stupidity that we don't need becoming Federal law.
