New York Has Lost Its Mind
Welcome to the leftist-run polic state comrades. And it’s only going to get worse. I’d say this is one of the worst RCOB moments ever, but what’s the point? Nobody is listening; your rights are being nibbled to death by squirrels, but the only important thing is who is winning on American Idol.
Bill called ‘toughest gun control package in the nation’ passed by New York Senate
Days after calling for an overhaul of gun control in New York following the Connecticut school shooting, Gov. Andrew Cuomo worked out a tough proposal on gun control with legislative leaders who promised to pass the most restrictive gun law in the nation.
The measure passed the Senate 43-18 on the strength of support from Democrats, many of whom previously sponsored the bills that were once blocked by Republicans.
The Democrat-led Assembly gaveled out before midnight and planned to take the issue up at 10 a.m. Tuesday. It is expected to pass easily.
“This is a scourge on society,” Cuomo said Monday night, one month after the Newtown, Conn., shooting that took the lives of 20 first graders and six educators. “At what point do you say, `No more innocent loss of life.“‘
“It is well-balanced, it protects the Second Amendment,” said Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos of Long Island. “And there is no confiscation of weapons, which was at one time being considered.
“This will be the toughest gun control package in the nation,” said Sen. Jeffrey Klein, leader of the Independent Democrat Conference that shares majority control with Republican senators. “All in all, it is a comprehensive, balanced approach that will save lives,” Klein said in an interview.
“We haven’t saved any lives tonight, except one: the political life of a governor who wants to be president,” said Ball who represents part of the Hudson Valley. “We have taken an entire category of firearms that are currently legal that are in the homes of law-abiding, tax paying citizens. ... We are now turning those law-abiding citizens into criminals.”
The governor confirmed the proposal, previously worked out in closed session, called for a tougher assault weapons ban and restrictions on ammunition and the sale of guns, as well as a mandatory police registry of assault weapons, grandfathering in assault weapons already in private hands.
Some of the bill’s crap ... lifted straight out of Feinstein’s insane federal proposal ...
- Under current state law, assault weapons are defined by having two “military rifle” features spelled out in the law. The proposal would reduce that to one feature and include the popular pistol grip.
- Private sales of assault weapons to someone other than an immediate family would be subject to a background check through a dealer.
- Internet sales of assault weapons would be banned
- failing to safely store a weapon could be subject to a misdemeanor charge.
- Ammunition magazines would be restricted to seven bullets, from the current 10
- current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
- a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally would be required to report the incident to a mental health director who would have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient’s gun could be taken from him or her.
From the text of the bill:
The “two-feature” test bans any gun that is semi-automatic, has a detachable magazine (in the case of pistols and rifles), and possesses two features that are commonly associated with military weapons. The “one-feature” test would ban semi-automatic guns with
detachable magazines that possess one feature commonly associated with military weapons. This section also adds to the list of “features” that characterize a banned weapon.
Within one year of the effective date, all weapons defined as assault weapons under the new “one-feature” test, as well as weapons grandfathered in under the original assault weapons ban, must be registered. Current owners of these banned weapons may transfer the weapons only to a firearms dealer or transfer to an out of state buyer. All registered owners will be subject to a review of disqualifiers by the State Police.
New York has already defined an “assault weapon” as a semi-automatic firearm, so let’s not waste a breath pointing out that their definition is moronic in comparison to the actual (select fire, mid-powered cartridge) definition of one.
Now the state is going to extend the definition to semi-automatic pistols that are built with magazines that hold more than 7 rounds. In other words, the Browning Hi Power, a 9mm pistol that came on the market in 1935 with a 13 round magazine, will now be an assault weapon in NY.
adding a new Penal Law � 400.03 requiring (1) that sellers of ammunition register with the superintendent of the State police (2) that prior to a sale of ammunition, a seller must run the buyer through a State-created review of disqualifiers to ensure that the buyer is not prohibited by law from possessing ammunition, and (3) that ammunition sales are electronically accessible to the State. In addition, to prevent from purchasing ammunition, the bill requires that any ammunition sold commercially must be conducted by a seller that can perform a background check.
So not only will you have to submit (and pay for) a NICS check when you buy ammo, another state-owned background check will be installed, and they will have complete and constant access to that data.
Well, there goes the lifelong pistol permit. Tax revenue generator, I’m sure:
And of course they up the penalties for all the existing gun laws, and create several new ones
And here they trot out their reasoning, or what passes for it ...
In the wrong hands, guns are weapons of untold destruction and heartbreak: family and community members are taken from us in an instant; mass shootings shatter our sense of safety in public spaces; street crimes plague our neighborhoods. Nationwide, gun violence claims over 30,000 lives annually.
While the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms, the Supreme Court has said that that right is “not unlimited.” ...
Some weapons are so dangerous and some ammunition devices so lethal that we simply cannot afford to continue selling them in our state. Assault weapons that have military-style features unnecessary for hunting and sporting purposes are this kind of weapon. The test adopted in this legislation is intended to bring a simplicity of definition focusing on the lethality of the weapon, amplified by the particular features.
What a total crock. And that list of features, only one of which will now make you a criminal:
(A) A SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE THAT HAS AN ABILITY TO ACCEPT A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE AND HAS AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS:
(I) A FOLDING OR TELESCOPING STOCK;
(II) A PISTOL GRIP THAT PROTRUDES CONSPICUOUSLY BENEATH THE ACTION OF THE WEAPON;
(III) A THUMBHOLE STOCK;
(IV) A SECOND HANDGRIP OR A PROTRUDING GRIP THAT CAN BE HELD BY THE NON-TRIGGER HAND;
(V) A BAYONET MOUNT;
(VI) A FLASH SUPPRESSOR, MUZZLE BREAK, MUZZLE COMPENSATOR, OR THREADED BARREL DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE A FLASH SUPPRESSOR, MUZZLE BREAK, OR MUZZLE COMPENSATOR;
(VII) A GRENADE LAUNCHER;
OR
(B) A SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN THAT HAS AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS:
(I) A FOLDING OR TELESCOPING STOCK;
(II) A THUMBHOLE STOCK;
(III) A SECOND HANDGRIP OR A PROTRUDING GRIP THAT CAN BE HELD BY THE NON-TRIGGER HAND;
(IV) A FIXED MAGAZINE CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF SEVEN ROUNDS;
(V) AN ABILITY TO ACCEPT A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE;
OR
(C) A SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL THAT HAS AN ABILITY TO ACCEPT A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE AND HAS AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS:
(I) A FOLDING OR TELESCOPING STOCK;
(II) A THUMBHOLE STOCK;
(III) A SECOND HANDGRIP OR A PROTRUDING GRIP THAT CAN BE HELD BY THE NON-TRIGGER HAND;
(IV) CAPACITY TO ACCEPT AN AMMUNITION MAGAZINE THAT ATTACHES TO THE PISTOL OUTSIDE OF THE PISTOL GRIP;
(V) A THREADED BARREL CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING A BARREL EXTENDER, FLASH SUPPRESSOR, FORWARD HANDGRIP, OR SILENCER;
(VI) A SHROUD THAT IS ATTACHED TO, OR PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY ENCIRCLES, THE BARREL AND THAT PERMITS THE SHOOTER TO HOLD THE FIREARM WITH THE NON-TRIGGER HAND WITHOUT BEING BURNED;
(VII) A MANUFACTURED WEIGHT OF FIFTY OUNCES OR MORE WHEN THE PISTOL IS UNLOADED;
etc etc. Not that ANY pistol in the entire United States was not already classified as illegal if it had a shoulder stock of any kind on it already; this is what the BATF calls an SBR, a Short Barreled Weapon. You need a Class III (machine gun) permit to own one of those.
So your good old Remington 742 that you inherited from grandpa, on which you installed a muzzle break to tame the recoil, and your cherished brand new Browning BAR with it’s BOSS barrel vent, and are now illegal assault weapons. In New York. When the bill passes. And with this bill as precedent, do you really think Diane Nutcase Feinstein’s bill is going to fail in DC?
Obviously your Auto-Ordnance Thompson rifle - styled after the original 1927 Thompson submachine gun but built as a semi-automatic rifle, with it’s finned barrel, forward hand grip, and classic Cutt’s Compensator - is now an assault weapon as well. Wait, that one probably already was. Because all criminals lug around a 14 pound tommy gun looking rifle to rob liquor stores.
And every single time you buy a box of bullets, you have to be cleared by the government, and they keep a record. And they’ll soon set a limit on that, if they haven’t already; people who own “excessive” quantities of ammunition will come under intense government scrutiny. And who defines “excessive”? Why the government of course! Want to bet that number will be 20 rounds? 50 rounds? 10? Whatever the police state figures will keep you from ever being able to resist them. And they call this “protecting the Second Ammendment”. Nazis.
The end isn’t nigh. The end is here. The Communists are in charge and you can’t do jack shit about it.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
