Federal law says no. If it's made before 1898 then no FFL required. New York state has it's own rules that i believe are more strict.
So far i haven't had to go through hochul's communist background check for ammo purchases Make all my own centerfire stuff and have over 12K of rimfire stuff on hand.
Dummies aren’t banned unless they operate and fall under some other rule. Stop scaring the sheep on here.
Perhaps he's reading into the NYC ordinances that impose some restrictions and prohibitions on toy guns that look like real guns, mostly arising from less intelligent Choir Boys pointing them at Cops who don't take time to decide if it's real before deleting them from the gene pool. If one already has an Antique, Black Powder, or even one of the finer Dummy Guns, the po-po aren't going to come looking for you unless you get stupid and invite them into your life.
Business Law prohibited the sale and a "Dummy Gun" is not illegal and isn't even a "gun" by either State or Federal Laws...shame, a Thompson "kit" with a Live Barrel is worth a grand.All toy guns must have orange tips or be otherwise made of clear plastic in appearance that they are not real guns. NO black guns
Dewats, non firing replicas of any weapon ARE banned, as they can appear to be the real thing.
My 1928 Thompson, built out of a returrned Russian Kit, with dummy receiver WAS deemed illegal to possess in NYS. Same with any non opertional firearm, DISCOVERED in your possessaion..other wise yu could your your dummy AR or Thompson to rob a liquor store.
Any replica.......... BP pistol, AR, Thompson, etc will likely be confiscated and you may be arrested.
- General Business Law §872: This law prohibits the sale of imitation guns that are black, silver, blue, or metallic. Instead, they must be brightly colored (e.g., white, bright red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, or purple) or made entirely of transparent materials. This regulation aims to reduce the risk of dangerous misunderstandings involving realistic-looking toy guns.
2- Recent Legislation: In 2021, Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation (S.687/A.3998) that clarifies and strengthens the definition of imitation weapons. The law mandates that permissible imitation weapons must be easily identifiable and cannot be in colors that resemble real firearms. This legislation was enacted in response to incidents where imitation weapons were mistaken for real firearms, leading to dangerous situations.
2- Penalties for Violations: Violating these laws can result in significant penalties, including fines up to $1,000 per infraction. Retailers are particularly affected, as they must ensure compliance with these regulations to avoid legal repercussions.
1- New York City Regulations: New York City has even stricter regulations regarding imitation firearms. The city prohibits the sale, possession, or use of any toy or imitation firearm that closely resembles a real firearm, regardless of whether it has the required markings.

These laws are designed to enhance public safety by ensuring that imitation firearms are easily distinguishable from real guns, thereby reducing the likelihood of tragic incidents involving law enforcement or civilians mistaking a toy for a weapon. Retailers and consumers must be aware of these regulations to ensure compliance and safety in their communities.

In summary, New York state law requires that replica guns be brightly colored or transparent, and recent legislation has reinforced these requirements to enhance safety and prevent confusion with real firearms.
NO DEWATS.
Does not anyone read the laws anymore?
