Subdeacon Joe Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Looks like there may be a push to exempt the entertainment industry from the draconian laws recently passed in NY State. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/02/nyregion/studios-fret-that-new-yorks-gun-laws-could-hamper-film-production.html?smid=pl-share&_r=1& Officials in the movie and television industry say the new laws couldprevent them from using the lifelike assault weapons and high-capacitymagazines that they have employed in shows like “Law & Order:Special Victims Unit” and films like “The Dark Knight Rises.” Twenty-seven film and television projects, including programs like “BlueBloods” and “Person of Interest,” are now in production in New YorkState using assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, according tothe Motion Picture Association of America.Industry workers say that they need to use real weapons forverisimilitude, that it would be impractical to try to manufacture fakeweapons that could fire blanks, and that the entertainment industryshould not be penalized accidentally by a law intended as a response tomass shootings. Call your reps and tell them "HELL NO!" There should be no special rules for them. Link to comment
