Major loophole found in NY gun laws ...

[Alchemist17]

Sad thing is, I do believe he's serious about his "discovery"

The proposal came just hours after the Daily News and state Sen. Eric Adams (D-Brooklyn) exposed a glaring loophole in a 1994 state law that was supposed to abolish the large clips.

The News accompanied Adams as he bought two 30-round clips for an AK-47 assault rifle - the magazines are still legal if manufactured before 1994.

It blows me away what passes for journalism now a days.

Thank God for loopholes. How do I live without them? The whole 2A is a giant loophole, it should've stated that only organized militia are allowed to keep and bear arms. For individuals, government should be able to infringe them any way it wants to.

Too bad we can't just ban stupid, it would be so much easier.

Against stupidity the Gods themselves contend in vain.

We only need one well place round from a hunting rifle to vote from the rooftop.

What a moron, if he didnt tell everyone about this loophole then nobody would know, now theres likely going to be a huge rush to buy these magazines before they fix that strange loophole..

M'am! Step away from the typewriter...

This "journalist" Erin Einhorn had a related article two days ago (LINK) and you may be interested in the following quote from that article

The large magazines - used by the likes of Jared Loughner, who shot Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six in January - are still allowed in New York if they were manufactured before the 1994 law.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts New Yawk "Fixes" this "loophole" PDQ.

They may find it legally difficult to fix the loop hole due to the financial liability resulting from the lack of a grandfather clause. Even if they don't may currently owned magazines illegal, preventing them from being sold drops their value, opening the state up to a civil lawsuit from the lost of value of private property.

Maybe it'll spur New Yorkers to run across the border and sell their pre-ban hi-caps in Mass, where they'll still bring top dollar.

Most of the comments on that page are pro 2A...besides

Why does anyone need high-capacity gun clips? There is absolutely no reason for anyone to have them. You only need a rifle to do hunting and a handgun should be enough to defend your home.

This one. A handgun SHOULD be enough [facepalm]

DOH! Your theory has been foiled by high-cap posession law in MA. Cross the border and they are an instant felon. Of course if they turn around and go back across the border they would be felons....they are in a pickle, unless NES bands together and places pre-ban mag collection bins at NY border crossings. They would look like the save the plant clothes bins haha

I hope they don't plan on reselling them here at a profit...

At Guns Inc. in Rensselaer, a Daily News hidden camera looked on as Adams bought two 30-round magazines for an AK-47 assault rifle.

The senator used his credit card to buy the clips - at $42.19 each - and walked out less than five minutes later without even having to show identification.
