They are hard core coming after regular long guns in NYS. I guess so called assualt weapons aren't good enough? They want to force you to "apply for" a hunting licence and attend a course in order to purchase a long gun!
Interpreted what this really means is : "We want to make it difficult for poor folks to have guns by establishing cost barriers. This way the poor will remain victims begging for our protection from the criminals we refuse to keep off their streets because they will be unable to defend themselves. We on the other hand can be protected by guns anytime we want."
Low life controlling $#@!s!
Oh yeah via anotther bill they want to mandate insurance for gun owners of at least 1,000,000. S2857A More price barriers but not for them of course. Their twisted intent could not be more clear.
