First off, NYS did everything it could to OUTLAW AR15's.
If you were stupid enough to do it, they let you REGISTER your AR to their CONFISCATION LIST so you could keep it - UPON YOUR DEATH IT GOES TO THE STATE (NO, your kid doesn't get it, even if he or she likes it), otherwise you gotta sell it out of state, or turn it in . . . and moving forward it would be illegal to purchase new ones. (As of April 2014) [(To this day you can still buy a less dangerous, much more harmless version of an AR in NY, but it can't have any of the features on it that make it too dangerous for "regular" non-law-enforcement citizens to own . . . like a flash suppressor . . . or a bayonet lug . . . or an adjustable stock . . . and NO PISTOL GRIP!!!)]
Other than that, it's an AR . . . BUT NO 30 ROUND MAGS!!! THEY PASSED THE LAW LIMITING YOU TO 7
But the courts bumped it to 10.
Part of the law (NY SAFE Act) MADE IT ILLEGAL TO LEND A FIREARM TO ANYONE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH A GOVERNMENT NICS BACKGROUND CHECK!!! So the neighbor you shoot with all the time, he's going hunting and wants to borrow one of your rifles . . . technically, can't lend it to him (unless you go to a gun store and do a background check . . . so that the government is aware that that rifle is now in your neighbors possession (illegal to lend handguns) . . . and if it is a rifle you have owned from a time before computers . . . the government now knows that that rifle EXISTS.)
County police ENFORCE these laws, it's not like they "look the other way" because they are big "2A for the people" supporters. It's not like minority smash and grab mobs in the cities that are not bothered and if one is apprehended they are released without bail.
THEY THROW THE BOOK AT YOU FOR A NY SAFE ACT VIOLATION!!!
So now after this whole government WAR AGAINST THE SECOND AMENDMENT in NYS - and a response of F#@K YOU! by NY gun owners to the tune of a 4% compliance rate that ammounts to a standoff of wills in refusing to surrender Second Amendment Rights - some county official wants CITIZENS to just turn over their AR15's??? (No background check needed??!!??)
I don't see it happening.
