Empire State gun owners bracing for Cuomo’s confiscation scheme

no one has a valid reason or a right to own a firearm, unless of course you are a member of a well regulated militia......

freaking gun nuts

EVERYONE has a right to have a gun, with many exceptions . Are all people Appalled at the NSA situation ALL Conspiracy nuts ?

are you talking about this group?

Check it out , and remember all people that don't own guns, aren't against gun owners, just NUTS .

but who worries about that little detail.

i.e. the retired reserve component of he armed forces, subject to mandatory recall to service, may I assume you have no issue with my ownership of firearms and use thereof to keep my skills useful?

Wrong legally. Wrong historically. Wrong linguistically.

Nice job...

him and another blocked member are the gift that keeps on giving to the 2A, pro-firearms rights movement.

The SCOTUS has affirmed that right with reasonable regulations. We need to get off this whole lets ban guns idea. Talk of confiscation only hurts the Democrats more and more. Besides its never going to happen.

You had one of my posts hidden in another thread by alerting on phony rules. Your behavior is the definition of stalking.

since Skinner allowed gun topics in GD?

Show me the proof please or take that back.

What are "phoney' rules?


I guess you have no comments or are scared to post any

only shows the weakness of your position.

Do you have anything, agreement or dissent, to say about the post?

I would think it would also be a matter for the activism group members to discuss. If it is a good idea one would think they would wish to brainstorm how it could be made law in other states as well

Post a link so I can see what you are talking about

No link, it must not have happened and you are just making stuff up and making yourself look bad.

I had you mixed up with another gun lobbyist.

Or apology? OK.

Is that better?

Good one !!!!

Because it's just so classy to end an apology with an insult.

which is part of Hiding a post, Apology ? NO . Like I said, nothing against Gun Owners, just the NU Lobbyists .

I am blocked in the other group after 3 posts, no warning and am not allowed to ever post there again. Thanks for the answer, sorry if I was misunderstood in my post. I thought I was clear but maybe not.

Unless you get five hides total.

grow up .

and as a party we shouldn't have anything to do with BS like this.

that shit is fascist

...where are the pro bill of rights democrats?
this bs will drag the whole brand down!
hard to believe a smart person could go so wrong, no common sense i guess.

California used the same thing to actually confiscate weapons.

While I'm not particularly anti-registration in theory, I pragmatically dismiss it without prejudice because it's currently an utterly unattainable goal for the pro-control side that makes a great whisk to froth up the pro-guns side, especially with the vocal minority of control advocates who do in fact openly admit that registration is a path to confiscation. Whether or not that is the actual endgame is irrelevant, but it's a surefire way to mobilize the NRA crowd like almost nothing else.

So, let's put that in the box labeled "Do Not Open Until XMas" and move along with more immediate and possibly effective measures like mandatory FFL transfers, universal FOID cards (with a CCW carrot), magazine limits, &c. All of which I wholeheartedly support...funny that, I'm really only opposed to registration and an AWB, both on practical grounds that, but that makes me the unvarnished 100% no-compromise ENEMY. And y'all wonder why a lot of the moderates in this debate just sit on our hands..

there your FOID is also your CCW. If you have a FOID, or what the Canadians call a PAL, why would you need mandatory FFL transfers? I think if you get caught with gun and no FOID, the cops can trace the gun to the last 4473 and he or she can explain, or show a bill of sale to someone else, or police report of stolen property.

The 1968 GCA repealed and replaced the 1938 FFA. I would do the same with both NFA and GCA and replace it with something that is coherent and logical. One can take the best of specific provisions from different places and make something that actually makes sense.

Your situation can happen today, a felon is caught with a gun - trace to the last 4473 and yes there's some 'splainin to do...but more often than not the trail's cold. Especially without any requirement for theft reporting. It's unintrusive, couldn't really be used as a priori registration, and leaves the last legal owner holding a nasty bag if the gun's been up to no good and hasn't been reported stolen. I should probably mention that I do favor some sort of mandatory theft/loss reporting, too. I've never deaccessioned a firearm without a 4473, it's the ultimate CYA if nothing else.

I've always said I'd actually settle for rolling everything under a modified NFA (e.g. no CLEO signoff/"shall-issue", streamline the BGC, so forth) in exchange for reopening the registry, nationwide CCW, and some other perks. I mean, even hardline control advocates admit it works.

capabilities & abuses, the "closed loop," even paper records of 4473 dealers, look more appealing than most modern electronic privacy options using the innertubes and social media. Such irony.

time to give Cuomo a lesson in civil disobedience.

Is that your take on it?

I am sure he is though
