Albany, NY –-(Ammoland.com)- Governor Cuomo awoke this morning to a massive problem, one million plus new felons, all armed with scary, high capacity, assault weapons!
The deadline for New York residents to register their so called “Assault Weapons” and “High” (read standard) Capacity Magazines came and went.
An estimated million plus, formerly law abiding, gun owners have refused to comply with Cuomo and down state Democrat’s naive belief that the NY Safe Act, passed in a so called emergency session of the New York legislature, could force free people to register their hard earned property.
The New York Safe act, passed without public comment in the dead of the night, was a direct attack on law abiding, tax paying, owners of legal guns. Now, New York Democrats have no idea on how the state will resolve this problem as they have neither the resources or in many case the backing of law enforcement to round up this massive group of dissenters.
The implementation of the SAFE Act to date has been plagued with problems. Legal confusion, lawsuits and dozens of county legislatures across New York adopting resolutions condemning the SAFE Act. Many sheriffs have gone on record in opposition to the law, saying they refuse to enforce it. State police have been very quiet while at the same time quick to adopt court rulings knocking down parts of the law.
Neighboring Connecticut state, with a million plus felons of their own from a similar half baked law, have the same issue with no comprehensive plan on how to resolve this case of mass civil disobedience.
And who can blame these once lawful gun owners, with a president that picks and chooses which laws he will follow or enforce, as well as an Federal Attorney General that operates daily with a Contempt of Congress charge and gun running scandal, “Fast & Furious”, hanging over his head. Why should the average New York joe, bother to follow the law, especially when it is in direct conflict with the Constitution of the United States, the one true law of the land.
Good morning New York and good morning USA to the new reality of living without the rule of law.
Molon Labe America!
What was legal yesterday is legal today. If it weren’t for all of the liberal idiot pisswits in NYC, Cumo couldn’t get elected dog catcher. Stay strong upstate gun owners. Resist, refuse and vote.
Maybe the population will remember that it is the democrats who are lying and who hold the constitution in contempt when it is time to vote. Of course, you can’t vote if you aren’t registered – unless you are a democrat.
My thinking is that they’ll take the slow approach of starting with selected prosecutions of people they accidentally discover owning weapons they don’t like. By the time 10 years go by they’ll have broken down resistance. They’ll have new cops in place, people will tire &/or be intimidated into compliance. Whatever strategy NY gun owners use to fight this be sure to think long term. Time is on they tyrant’s side. I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that the root of the problem is people’s willingness to be taxed. If we eliminate taxation we eliminate the problem of… Read more »
I moved from CT to Georgia years ago. I love the rights we have down here, plus the weather is nicer!
These million plus are still law abiding gun owners!! Any citizen in this country can be made a criminal by enacting these illegal un-Constitutional laws!! This is the tyranny our founders foresaw and is why they gave us The Second Amendment, the peoples right, not any governments!! Hold the line!!
This form of Gun Owner Civil Disobedience is occurring all over the US. Not only do we have NYers not complying with Herr Cuomo’s edict and CT gun owners refusing to line up and register their magazines & rifles, there are lots of gun owners in May Issue States that have reached their breaking point. In Sunnyvale, CA gun owners have refused to hand in their “high capacity” magazines. New Yorkers have been burning registration forms in BBQ grills. Soon, NJ gun owners will have a chance to ignore another arbitrary magazine limit bill. It’s about freaking time we gun… Read more »
