.38 Special
Hi Everyone,
Been lurking here for a long time, especially while waiting for my Rifle/Shotgun permit from the NYPD. Like the title says, I see there is a mutual understanding that AR-15's are named and banned here. However, I'm not exactly one of those people that likes when arbitrary decisions are made with no legal standing. Does anyone here know where this is written down officially in any real capacity? I see that NYC really has a few pieces of law that relate to this, however none of them apply to a stripped AR15 lower, and seemingly should not block me from purchasing and registering one in NYC.
I'm not going to quote the safe act text, because while its long and bulky, looks like that is settled discussion about what is allowed, and what is not allowed. Seems like this Thordsen stock AR-15 with a pinned 5 round magazine should be enough to be in compliance with the law. Am I mistaken?
NYC:
§ 10-301
16. "Assault weapon."
(a) Any semiautomatic centerfire or rimfire rifle or semiautomatic shotgun which has one or more of the following features:

3. bayonet mount;
4. flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor;
5. barrel shroud;
6. grenade launcher; or
7. modifications of such features, or other features, determined by rule of the commissioner to be particularly suitable for military and not sporting purposes. In addition, the commissioner shall, by rule, designate specific semiautomatic centerfire or rimfire rifles or semiautomatic shotguns, identified by make, model and/or manufacturer's name, as within the definition of assault weapon, if the commissioner determines that such weapons are particularly suitable for military and not sporting purposes. The commissioner shall inspect such specific designated semiautomatic centerfire or rimfire rifles or semiautomatic shotguns at least three times per year, and shall revise or update such designations as he or she deems appropriate.
(b) Any shotgun with a revolving-cylinder magazine.
(c) Any part, or combination of parts, designed or redesigned or intended to readily convert a rifle or shotgun into an assault weapon.
(d) "Assault weapon" shall not include any rifle or shotgun modified to render it permanently inoperative.
