In reply to the discussion: NY Senate Passes 'Landmark' Gun Control Laws [View all]sir pball
(4,741 posts)41. Ok, so what exactly do you want to ban?
Law right now says you can't sell a gun called an "AR-15", or a semiautomatic gun with a pistol grip. You can sell a semiautomatic gun called a BS-26 without a pistol grip. If you don't like that the law is written that way, push the legislature to write a "better" law.
It would be vastly simpler too, you could have it in one line - "the possession of a semi-automatic rifle in New York State is a Class A felony."
Is that a law you'd like?
