New York Gun Law CAN'T Be Enforced Properly

ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo and state lawmakers rushed a gun-control law through in January that prohibits the sale of magazines that can hold more than seven bullets, the nation’s lowest limit.

Problem is, nobody makes seven-bullet magazines.

Now, state leaders are planning to suspend the prohibition, which is due to take effect April 15, until they can rewrite the measure.

The nation’s first new gun-control law since last December’s Newtown school massacre reduces the number of bullets allowed in a magazine to seven from 10, except at firing ranges and shooting competitions.

“Gun manufacturers don’t make seven-round magazines and aren’t planning to,” Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver conceded yesterday.

Lawmakers will have to put the measure on hold — but any new measure, they say, would still limit the number of bullets that can be carried to seven in a larger magazine.

Silver said he, Cuomo and Senate leaders plan to suspend any provision of the law that “presumes that manufacturers are going to manufacture” seven-round magazines.

He said the length of the suspension hasn’t been determined.

Cuomo’s office had no comment yesterday, but the governor this week conceded “there is no such thing as a seven-bullet magazine . . . so you really have no practical option.”

Not to worry. New York has already set up a hotline where you can report your neighbor for having an illegal gun with a clip that allows more than 7 bullets.

This will allow the police SWAT squad to show up, use a battering ram on the door, and lock up the criminal gun owner.

Obviously the plan all along was make semi-automatics with more capacity than 7 rounds illegal.

They knew there were no 7 round mags they just thought they could get away with banning guns on a technicality.

It would be like only guns without sights as being legal.

See no ban just that every gun out there has them.
