Under New York’s Orwellian-monikered SAFE Act, having a magazine with a capacity of more than a 10 rounds is now defined as criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a “Class D Violent Felony.” So soon, having a 13-round magazine stashed in the back of a drawer or a 10-rounder downloaded to only eight rounds rather than the legal limit of seven and you’re pinched. How does this grave offense against society compare with other crimes in the Empire State? Here’s a sample of similar hijinks that will also get you tagged with a class D violent felony wrap . . .
- Rape in the Second Degree – § 130.30
- Course of sexual conduct against a child in the second degree – § 130.80
- Reckless assault of a child – § 120.02
- Aggravated sexual abuse in the third degree – § 130.66
Which means that 13-round mag or a too-full ten-rounder in your possession will be a more serious offense than these simple Class D felonies (a step less serious that the Class D Violent variety):
- A.Promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child – § 263.10
- B. Promoting a sexual performance by a child – § 263.15
- C. Reckless endangerment in the first degree – § 120.25
- D. Vehicular manslaughter in the second degree – § 125.12
Or these Class E Violent Felonies (one step below Class D):
- Persistent sexual abuse – § 130.53
- Aggravated sexual abuse in the fourth degree – § 130.65-a
Or these simple Class E no-nos:
- Luring a child – § 120.70
- Use of a child to commit a controlled substance offense- § 220.28
- Possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child – § 263.11
- Possessing a sexual performance by a child – § 263.16
So there you have it. Carry one too many rounds (or only seven in a mag that’s — oops! — too capacious) and what you’ve done is considered as bad molesting a child. And it’s worse than vehicular manslaughter — yes, where someone has died. That’s what now passes as common sense gun law in the state of New York.
He obviously sold his oath for 30 pieces of silver…
I love my Glocks and they’re fine just the way they are. I bought the G36 and I really wanted to like that little sucker because it was slim and it was a great fit for my hand. The only problem was that it sucked big time. I may have bought the LEMON version of the 36, but it was a worthless piece of S***. I would have been killed for sure it I ever had to use it in a DGU. That suckers long gone to someone who thought they could make it work. I told them it was useless and that it only belonged on the range, cuz it could get you killed on the street.
My Glock 36 only works reliably with premium 230 grain defense ammo. The local Glock armorer told me that american specification 230 ball ammo is downloaded for accuracy and lower recoil. My pistol is two months old with 400 rounds fired and the trigger needs to be replaced because the pivot pin for the safety lever has backed out half-way. I’m not very happy with particular pistol. I chose it for the light weight and single-stack narrowness.
Move to a free state and move NOW!
sounds like they made a mountain out of a mole hill.
Who give’s a rat’s hat about a few guns? Just tell me that the burglars didn’t steal Paige. ‘Cause if they did, I will hunt
herthem to the ends of the Earth.Eh, I got P.O’d at CTD way before all thid.
They refuse to sell ANYTHING to me because I’m under 21.
Glen Beck is advertizing CTD on his radio show.
I don’t have any problem with my 26 or 19 iwb and I’m pretty small at 5’8 and 155lbs. The percentage difference between these and a single stack is large but compared to my 32″ waist it’s not a big difference. A slim holster like the crossbreed can help. I actually like the larger grip on the double stacks since my hands are pretty big.
When they pulled the firearms, I said it was a ploy so they could sell them at maximum profit once the prices reach a high point. Nothing I have seen since has made me change my opinion. They are cashing in on hostage capitalism while the going is good, and now trying to cover their bases when things recover.
Unfortunately they are about on par with the other stores that have what I want in stock. And as a Coloradan, I face the gamble of purchasing now at inflated prices or risk losing any chance.
This is what happens when a bunch of no-talent welfare queens and burnouts run the school system and decide they want to be little Hitlers. I’ve dealt with them my whole life.
I got in trouble in grade school once because a teacher thought that I was a nonconformist. My mother said, “Good. That’s what I want him to be.” You gotta pick your parents well.
Twenty years ago my client sued a school district and my firm tortured the district for a long time. I loved every second of it.

So, what’s next: one step forward or one step back?
I wonder if she could get them to jiggle any more? Excuse me, I got distracted. Those are some nice guns though, Randy
Fight? You mean hope the courts overturn legislation passed and signed by the duly elected legislature and governor? Legislation that, according to some polls, has broad support? What is the point? The people who live, and vote, in states governed by leftists have made their choice. This is what they want. Please spare me the civics lesson how rights are not subject to polls, I am well aware of that. I would say to the gun owners and those that love freedom who live in New York and places like it, get out. Tennessee would welcome you. As would many other places.
The case is controversial and the circumstances are suspect, I get it. That said, If I had no legs and I heard noises in my house while in bed I would probably shoot first, even through the doors. Hell, he could run with the best of them, but without the prosthetics, down to a crawl. Innocent until proven otherwise? I’ll stick with that for now.
I am very proud of my state right now. And we are not all Mormon, I myself and many like me are pantheist, atheist, spiritual, non-religious, or what have you. But are still some of the most staunch gun owners you will ever meet.
Technically the most deadly thing you can do in the US is go see a doctor. That pretty well sums up why this post, the foundation of his argument and honestly the posts and relevant foundations of those posts; is flawed. Statistics are useful for information and to help provide context to an argument, but drawing conclusions based purely on statistics results in false corollaries.
Not to mention the whole premise of “We’ve passed these other terrible laws, so clearly we should just keep going,” has to be about the most asinine argument I’ve ever heard. Part of life is learning from your mistakes. If you’re afraid to correct yourself, and just stubbornly push on continuing on the same failed logic you started with, you really shouldn’t expect everyone else to follow you over the cliff.
Even if it’s diluted so as to allow only permitless carry of an unloaded firearm (which, by their definition, would include condition 3 carry), it is still a step in the right direction. As long as you can still go through the existing permit process if you want to carry in condition 1 or 2, there is no loss of freedom created by this law.
Anyone with a gun permit should be public information. OK. So please publish a list of all the police officers, including the undercover officers, and snitches. And how about all the CIA employees. They are all taking public money and all but the snitches have a public law gun permit by default.
As Americans we have the choice to spend our money where we would like. I do believe CTD’s decision after Sandy Hook was a bad one. But has anyone here posting ever made a bad call? CTD changed their decision and is ‘trying’ to make ammends.
besides if CTD had their 9mm FMJ target ammo in stock for $16.08 who wouldn’t jump on it? http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/2-FEAE9FPBX
