Subdeacon Joe Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 and overcome AlbanyIt might be the most divisive element of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s NY SAFEAct: an expanded ban on what the administration terms “assault-style”weapons, such as the Vietnam-era AR-15s that are wildly popular with gunenthusiasts.But the ban is proving to be less than total. Gun dealers, with the helpof machine shops and gunsmiths, are on the cusp of offering what theycall NY SAFE-compliant AR-15s and other military-style rifles.Prototypes for the new rifles have been on display at gun shops fromwestern New York to the Adirondacks in recent weeks. And now a lawyerrepresenting one shop says he has gotten what amounts to an OK from thestate, in the form of a letter from a State Police lawyer confirmingthat AR-15-style guns should be legal as long as they lack thecharacteristics prohibited by the law.

Hoss Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It may work.... but.... that's surely one homely lookin' piece. All them ARs is ugly to me. So are Glocks. In fact, thats the main reason I got rid of my Glock 17, it was just too ugly to enjoy shooting. Traded it for a RUGER SR1911. Much better looking pistol, and I like to shoot it, but I still prefer my cowboy guns! But....to each his own. I just dont care for the whole AR type rifle. Link to comment
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Improvise, adapt, Wonder if that is what Mr. Gatling had in mind! All them ARs is ugly to me. So are Glocks.

Much better looking pistol, and I like to shoot it, but I still prefer my cowboy guns! But....to each his own. I just dont care for the whole AR type rifle. I am in agreement with you on the modern guns. I like the looks and feel of the 1911, the M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine. Not so much on the M 16 or the AK 47 types. The feel of a six shooter, or a lever gun is also appealing to me. Now if I could just find me a nice M1 Carbine to add to my virtual stable...... Link to comment

The point is government screwing with us, not whether the AR is one's cup of tea. First ARs,then 97s, then Winchesters. And that thing is butt ugly. Link to comment

Dubious Don #56333 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Boy, will we be in for it when some goon walks into a mall with a lever action 30-30 and whacks 20 people..... Link to comment
