When even the Washington Post's notorious "fact checkers" call you out on the Assault Rifle-14. https://archive.ph/Skfih But of course, when we get to the actual fact-check rating: Of course. As always, when these "fact checkers" get to the verdict they can ignore any and all content...

I dunno, there's 'qualified immunity' for a reason. Manslaughter might be fair but depending on all the facts we don't know loss of job, pension, certification and never being a cop again might also be fair. I would agree there's enough known in this case that the one who fired the gun shouldn't...

There have been orders of magnitude more modern sporting rifles manufactured and sold since 2004 versus all time before 1994. Let them try again and see how that works out.

It seems unbelievable that cops would be so reckless and incompetent after what's happened the past few years, but when you consider who's still willing to be a cop in 2022 it all starts to make sense. That being said, as often is the case actually watching the video it looks a bit less bad...

I wouldn't call that a jam either, but there wouldn't be a "click" if the safety was on with any safety I'm aware of. I'm guessing shitty ammo and/or light primer strike, or the idiot forgot to chamber a round. Either way the president is extremely lucky here. Could have been one of them bad...

I think the law should be what it was in New York (minus the permitting scheme) and is in most of the country (Texas conspicuously excluded). That is, a private business can set and enforce whatever rules it wants, can kick you out or ban you, and if you refuse to leave you when asked or return...

Ok, but if the slide is forward and there is, a) a round in the chamber, or b) no round in the chamber, how is the pistol "jammed"? I'm trying to learn here. I think it's jammed in the same sense that it's fully semiautomatic with 5 bullets in the clip, but maybe I'm being pedantic in thinking...

Question: I'm no expert on pistol malfunctions, but how does a semiautomatic pistol "jam" firing the first round? Seems to me that "click and no bang" possibilities are 1: empty chamber, 2: light primer strike or similar misfire, 3: bad load. Am I missing something? But it's journalists we are...

I'd like to see an armed outdoor Christian conventicle and psalm-sing at a state forest or farm to protest this. Sadly this state is so cucked that probably only a few militia weirdos (love you guys but you're not always helping), fed glowies and fed glowies impersonating militia weirdos would...

California has a law limiting how much ammo residents can bring in from out of state, I'm sure NY would be happy to copy that if they got the idea. You'd have to be an idiot to comply. Go to PA or Vermont, pay cash, keep it in a closed container or compartment out of sight bringing it back in if...

Sportsball fandom keeps you fat, stupid, and compliant.

there's missing or implied words after "rifle". They are referring to the SAR license, basically an endorsement on your permit. That appears to be how NYSP is handling this law. Like you can get a commercial or motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license. Looks like you just have to ask your...

The kind of person who is not deterred by a prison sentence of years is not going to go into society an upstanding person because they served time at hard labor. I don't think you understand human nature. Perhaps if we had an effective death penalty more would be deterred with fewer locked up...

Yes and no and yes and no.. The unhelpful FAQ appears to say that permit holders can just get a semiauto license added to their pistol license and then purchase semi-auto rifles as usual. Those without pistol permits will now have to do this advanced BG check bullshit to get a license to...

This is very poorly worded, but the FAQ explicitly uses permit and license interchangeably, and I am pretty sure what they actually mean here is that "existing firearm [e.g. pistol] license holders" can add a Semi-Auto Rifle License endorsement to their pistol permit that they already have. In...

Right, I meant the Ukrainian plaintiff guy. My mistake.

I think they were claiming in the lawsuit that the new requirements, including training and social media accounts, do not apply to existing pistol permit holders upstate (unless their pistol permits were revoked). The state made that claim to challenge Bruen’s the plaintiff's standing as he...

A few things… The summary of the hearing probably just indicates that the defense attorney got the individual plaintiff to concede under cross examination that simply saying the words to ask a proprietor if they can carry is not in itself burdensome. That’s damaging and if it came across that...

Not everyone has a 33-year-old fatwa and bounty from the Supreme Leader of Iran calling for their death for writing a book, that has led to 37 dead in a fire targeting his Turkish translator, his Japanese translator stabbed to death, his Italian translator stabbed within an inch of his life, and...

A gun-free zone. Another good reminder how awful this state is for those with targets on their back.

The New York Guard (not national guard) is NY's state militia. They are volunteers and commanded by only the governor. Not sure if they ever get paid when they are activated but they are not paid to train and drill. DeSantis got ripped for reactivating the state guard in Florida last December...

If griping about about heat pumps is on topic for firearm politics and law is on-topic then I guess anything goes. I'm saying it likely wouldn't be up to code for primary source of heat for a dwelling in most markets. You could use it for cooling or supplemental heat. There are plenty of...

This is asinine. D's outnumber and outspend R's by one of the widest margins in the country in New York. How is "Zeldon" going to get 80% of "our side" to show up and less than 80% of D's decide to just sit by and let that happen? Bearing in mind how worked up the Democrat base is about fewer...

There are not up to code for primary source of adequate heat and would be considered a space heater. Primary application would be cooling. The utility remains to be demonstrated but this seems way off topic for this forum. Hey that doubles as a humidifier too. That's some respectable redneck...

Revenuers gonna revenue.

"particular individual", Is that right? Edit: Holy crap, they literally used "incarcerated individuals." Brilliant!

Zeldin will lose by double digits, but he is controlled opposition anyway. There is little to like about him.

Only $1 billion in sales over 10 years? Too low in my opinion, given the size of the industry and market. The competition is tight and the margins are generally low. And then there is all the regulatory overhead and risk from rogue attorneys general and plaintiffs’ lawyers.

PA only issues nonresident permits to NY pistol permit holders (and only some counties). Are you talking about for those who already have NY permits? Not sure I would assume what qualifies as satisfying the yet-to-be-issued new training requirements in New York either.

The only way to acquire a gun from out of state without going through an FFL is inheritance. Long guns you can get through an out-of-state FFL if the transaction is legal at home, others have to go through a home-state FFL. If your uncle or whatever dies out of state you can get the gun directly...

The permit scheme shouldn't apply to semiauto shotguns though (yet), so if one is emptying ones bank account to get a lifetime supply of permitless guns those could wait. A bunch of stripped lowers would also be a good affordable investment. I wasn't sure if the "other" ban would take those...

You're right, this didn't happen in New York in September, so you've convinced me my original point was irrelevant and stupid. Nobody needs more than 10 rounds to stop a shooter, lengthy permit applications and gun-free zones make us safer. This happened the other day in Indiana so it shouldn't...

So the answer is no, you do not understand hypotheticals. Thanks for your contribution to this conversation!

Obviously I'm evaluating this in the context of New York's new package of laws that are making us so much safer. Do you understand hypotheticals?

Did you see that Good Samaritan fired 10 rounds to take the perpetrator down? If he was in New York, he'd have had an empty mag, in addition to facing felony charges for possession in a "sensitive location" now, on top of probably never having gotten a pistol permit yet at his age in the first...

This. Why does OP feel so entitled to compel out-of-state businesses to deal with New York bullshit? They can just as easily ask why we choose to live in a state that enacts the kinds of laws we do and then turn around and ask out-of-state businesses to deal with us. Since OP thinks these...

Either an agent of the state or a prohibited person up to no good that will come back to me as the last traceable purchaser. Who else is going to be asking a stranger with no trust to avoid a BG check in NY? That's for all long guns, period. There was a story in the news here a couple years ago...

The federal law that applies is 18 USC 922. OP's plan was illegal whether his friend was from Pennsylvania or New York, if OP and his friend are not both already bona fide Pennsylvania residents and his friend is not dead, due to subsection (a)(3): "(a)It shall be unlawful— (3)for any person...

Are they confirming that the training and live fire will be required for restricted licenses? Or are restricted licenses going away? The bill language was rather confusing.

Well, you're posting in a public forum that you intend to break federal law, for which ignorance is no excuse, because you are wrong that this is not illegal. I'm not saying you shouldn't, but I'm saying you're wrong and people have gone to prison when that has gone sideways. Gun transfers...

Noem has a good record on guns and one of the better records on rona policy—both of which are politically easy to accomplish in SOUTH DAKOTA—but she could not even stand up to the NCAA and globohomo and vetoed her own legislature’s bill against boys in girls’ school sports, replacing it with...

Buy them now. No you will not, unless you moved. There will be no way to legally receive a new semiauto rifle without a permit as a NYS resident with this law in effect. Under federal law, all transfers to a nonresident must go through an FFL, and an out of state FFL can only directly transfer...

Makes sense for the type of recruit that the Navy is after these days and that would actually want to join the US military in 2022. Hey, the Army should take notes. I’m sure Cpl. Emma would love a soy burger just like her two moms used to make her.

Not controversial at all. A big chunk of Trump voters are right there with you. I'm one of those who didn't vote for Trump in 2016, wishes he did, enthusiastically voted for him in 2020, and hopes he doesn't run in 2024 but would absolutely vote for him if he's on the ballot. Trump would be 77...

Plaintiffs would probably not need to be to go to court much if at all; they would normally appear by lawyers in a civil case. If it went to trial then they would need to appear to testify. Most of the time would be meeting with lawyers and appearing for depositions (which could be long...

Downstate federal district court ruled that nunchucks were in common use, with national sales of 65,000 nunchucks over decades nationwide. https://mlaus.org/wp-content/uploads/bp-attachments/7669/215-decision.pdf

There’s some misinfo here. The 100 mile border zone is not the same as the border or ports of entry. At a port of entry you have few constitutional rights, in that CBP may search all of your stuff and interrogate you without any cause whatsoever. They can also seize items on very flimsy...

Whole point is you can't buy a pistol until you at least have a restricted permit already, which means going through the entire application and approval process.

To the extent there's any thought in it they are pushing restricted permits, which don't require training. Then you can train on your own pistol to get the carry permit. The text of the new exception is: 3-A. POSSESSION OF A PISTOL OR REVOLVER BY A PERSON UNDERGOING LIVE-FIRE RANGE...

You’re the one who called him a “a shrill sounding down-stater with wish washy principles.” Which is it? He went to school and he’s like you?
