NY LEGISLATION Just a few questions for the "governor". 1. How many "ghost" guns have you actually seized in the course of solving a criminal investigation during the past year or so? And how does that number compare to the previous year or so? If you seized 5 "ghost" guns this year compared to 0 last year that is a 500% increase that certainly sounds scary but is statistically meaningless when compared to the number of firearms used in huge number of crimes in your state/major cities. 2. How many unserialized firearms have you seized this year compared to last year? See the above comment. For that matter how many "assault weapons" have been seized, particularly those without serial numbers? 3. How many "deceptively" designed guns, that is guns purposely built to look like a toy, but that are actually a real gun have you seized? Is this a real thing or one more pipe dream from a delusional politician. A LEO facing down a firearm of any type is unlikely to be able to identify toy/real anyway, particularly in the dark when most crimes seem to occur. Since the current politically acceptable answer is to throw your officers under the bus because they make a wrong decision (in a split second situation) I cannot see why they would not respond to any form of a gun as if it was real in any case. And for a bad guy to bother "disguising" a gun as a toy seems like more effort than a POS bad guy would see fit to put forth. Since New York has pioneered so many successful crime prevention strategies, fired case required from manufacture, no bail required desk tickets for an evergrowing list of crimes, single patrol officers in high crime areas, stop and frisk, may issue concealed permits (only available to the well connected), decriminalizing various drugs and quantities of them, ignoring repeat offender mandatory sentences (after implementing the progressively more severe penalties in the first place). The list is endless. How about a simple "do the crime do the time" and get these animals into a cage where they belong, let them serve their full sentence, no parole or probation for repeat offenders, reparations to the victim of their crime and no social benefits until repaid. Any of these would work better than going after windmills in your best Don Quixote imitation!!! Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Gateway Kid: Tsk! Tsk! Do you expect rational thought and honesty from a politician? Chances are pretty good that she could not define half of the terms used in this legislation, has no concept of what a "ghost gun" is or its supposed effect on crime, and simply sees all guns as "the enemy". Makes for a great 30 second sound bite on the evening news. LL Link to comment

I was brought up that hope springs eternal but todays politicians send me into tears pretty much all the time. Their behavior is that of the kid in school who was always picked last, or who could not get a prom date and they are out to make everyone pay for not putting them on a pedestal when they were younger.

Still hand Bill Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I guess no one pointed out that it’s against the law for a prohibited persons to possess any firearm already. Doesn’t matter if it has a serial number or not. Link to comment
Nickel City Dude Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Does this mean that one cannot buy a receiver even if it has a serial number on it? Or are they only talking about receivers that do not have a serial number? Link to comment
