"The New York Legislature is set to consider a bill that would vastly expand the state’s current 'assault weapons ban.' Here’s some of the, er, highlights:- All firearms must either be rendered inoperative or surrendered to the police. No grandfathering, no exceptions.
- Removes the 'grandfathering' exception for possession of magazines with a greater than 10 round capacity.
- Bumps up AWB-firearm possession from 3rd degree 'criminal possession of a weapon' to first degree, putting simple possession of such a firearm at the same level of punishment as Rape 1 or Manslaughter 1."
"Oh, and the whole thing is severable. ... There are also two other bills being considered . . ." ... |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
