New York Assault Weapon Registration Form Revealed

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

We got this from an undercover member of the Armed Intelligentsia who’s in a position to have a pad of these printer-fresh registration forms plopped on his desk first thing this morning. And we had to wonder exactly what an “antique high capacity magazine” is. Does this mean if you bought a Glock 33-rounder last week, you’re good to go? But don’t worry Empire State gun owners. We’re sure the governor and legislature will have all that sorted out in plenty of time for for you to comply with the SAFE Act.

  1. I was SOOOO excited for a few minutes. I should have known better. I kept reading thinking maybe the reduced the backlog of checks to be cashed, not applications processed.

  2. I recall that some of the provisions of NY SAFE Act don’t apply to firearms that are over 50 years old. Maybe that includes their magazines too?

  3. Since these are all hand written forms, how many people will go to jail because some clerk mistypes or was dyslexic that day, ditto for the person filling out the form. So much fail on one small piece of paper.

  4. 10rd+ magazines over 50 years old that cannot be used in any firearm newer than 50 years old get a pass. Unfortunately there’s a lot of modern reproductions or designs that use old surplus magazines because they tend to plentiful and cheap that the provision doesn’t exempt a lot save really oddball stuff. Have USGI M1 carbine mags? Sorry, still need to pin them or sell them.

    • The model 1889 Swiss rifle had a 12 round magazine. The 1869 Vetterli had 11 rounds. They are only interested in forcing you to live a lifestyle you don’t want and for your sons and daughters to be born in a world where their path is already laid out for them.

  5. Looks like they want an email address. Hmmm…I would recommend setting up a unique address just for this purpose if you are going to supply one. Who knows what kind of arm twisting is going to take place between the providers and NYS down the line. Less info the better.

  6. In my sleep-deprived state, I was completely hooked. So excited. So delighted.

    Then I caught the name “William J. Lepetomane.” And then the disappointment followed.

    For those of you who missed that little reference, William J. Lepetomane is the name of the tail-chasing and tollway-pioneering governor portrayed by Mel Brooks in his 1974 classic, “Blazing Saddles.”

  7. I’m a bit torn on addressing mental status. Most of us assume
    that revamping the mental health system would include
    better protocols and techniques for deciding if someone poses
    a threat. However, I think that given the chance the antis and
    the Obama Administration would label the want or need of a
    firearm as a mental sickness.

    Another avenue that nobody seems to have explored is the use
    of asylums. Many have been closed partly because home
    treatment can work very well. But where do we put the ones
    that need serious treatment in a secure environment? Many
    end up in jail, others end up in short term clinics. I’ve
    taken a dozen or so of disturbed people to a clinic only to have
    them either turned away for lack of bed space, or if they
    weren’t exhibiting immediately dangerous behavior, let go.
    Many, especially those in more rural areas, are assessed not
    by a psychiatrist or even a psychologist but a counselor.
    Nothing against counselors, but if you needed a heart
    operation you’d wouldn’t ask a nurse to do it.

  8. Hello all,

    My question is for Joe Grine. I’m running an AMD-65 with the UltiMAK, M-7B rail and Vortex SPARC w/2x magnifier. I was a bit disappointed after finishing my installation, finding that it did not co-witness with the front sight post. I’m not worried about the red-dot lining up with the front sight post, but I could not even see the front sight post. I used the smallest mount of the two that came with the SPARC. Am I missing something. Any guidance would be great! I really wanted the benefit of the 3x magnification while using the iron sights. Maybe a strange reason, but I wanted to practice my iron sight marksmanship with a little extra magnification.

  9. Well ammo not so bad here I can get some PMC-XAC M193 rounds in a box of 20 for about $11.50. A 50 box of 9mm FMJ for $15; although you have to use it up on the range.

  10. There has to be some money to be made in starting up an ammo manufacturing company. I have no knowledge or start up capital or I’d be on it myself.

    As for the drought, I’ve probably seen .45 ACP more than any other common handgun round, but I’m suprised the less common stuff (.25 and .32) isn’t coming back yet.

  11. This seems true where I live too. Stopped by local gun shop / indoor range here in Seattle, WA and the walls have *almost* been restocked with rifles. There’s at least a couple of ARs, AKs, and FALs to pick from. From glass case with pistols is also stocked, though it’s still missing a few I’m interested in.

    Not a lot of ammo for sale, though… some boxes of 9mm JHP ($29 a box of 50), some Russian 7.62×39, no 5.56. The range keeps a few boxes on hand, but those are for sale only to newbies or people who have already rented / using a lane.

    On the plus side, 38 special seemed well stocked. Time to get the Python out again.

  12. I was pretty impressed with this one, simply because it’s genius, and many people don’t get that it’s a joke and react accordingly. Even funnier is the people that don’t believe that it’s a joke after being told.

  13. I carry my NAA PUG .22mag just about every where I go.
    I am not to concerned about pin point accuracy as this firearm
    is for close range fighting. Loaded with solid and hollow points
    with a shell shot thrown in for good measure it is always ready
    to go.

  14. I wonder how many pigs are going to get their guts shot out trying to enforce this crap on homeowners who lose it and start offing the traitors.
    I will sing and dance at these pigs death, by the way.
    Heh heh heh

  15. I love how someone is bold enough to state plainly that guns would have helped this situation, and they get mocked. You folks are simply astounding.

  16. I live in beautiful Valley Springs. Never expected to see it on here. Calaveras county ( affectionately known by many residents as Calabama) is about as rural as California gets. We haven’t voted for a Democratic president since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

    And I am happy to report, all is well and fine here. Nobody is on lockdown, the whole town is going about its business as usual. The sheriff is just warning people that there is a violent, armed criminal at large.

    Furthermore, Valley Springs is damn near the worst place in CA to try to commit violent crimes. This is a sad exception. Gun ownership here is huge, and there are very few police. At any one time, there are between 3 and 6 combined CHP/Sheriffs on duty in the entire county (pop: 45k). The people here are all very well aware that response time is terrible, and it is their own individual duty to protect themselves, from troublemakers on 2 and 4 legs.

    In fact, the sheriff issuing this statement is almost definitely not trying to send the message “stay put, stay home, the police state will take care of your safely.” He’s putting the people on alert. It is only responsible to alert the citizens of a violent offender, so that they can tool up and lock their doors.

    Those of us living in Calaveras shouldn’t be lumped in with the stereotype. We may be from California, but we are not “Californian.”
