Cuomo skipped free after his tenure as Clinton´s HUD secretary, and thus emboldened, continues his destructive ways.

Would that the GOP were even a fraction as effective as Democrats at removing political opponents from the playing field. Republicans let flag-waving criminals slide, Dems marginalize people with whom they simply disagree.

This has an extremely simple solution. Gun stores can simply sell the semi-automatic gun without any magazines. Leave that up to the purchaser to acquirer. At least then the merchant will have something to sell.

Did NY ever change the law so that the paramilitaries can use assault rifles?

#1 I, like you keep asking...........

"Where´s the HUD money, Andrew????"

Billions missing, and he not only walks free, he gets elected by demonrats!!

So if you already have a 10 round magazine (not a ´clip´, Andrew), you can only load seven rounds in it. I am sure the gangbangers will comply with that one. We are ruled by ignorant, inept fools who are so far removed from everyday life that it is destroying this nation day by day.

Not so!! The U.S. military used the MDL 1911A1, semi-automatic pistol for over 70 years. The 1911 is still a favorite with civilian shooters and millions are sold every year. the standard magazine for this pistol for over 70 years has held exactly 7 rounds. There are other standard semi-auto pistol magazines that hold 7 rounds or less.

This is nonsense. There are plenty of AR15 five round magazines because that´s the limit for hunters. There are just as many ten round magazines blocked down to five rounds. That´s all you have to do to make a seven round magazine -- take a ten round mag and block it. Manufacturers won´t make seven round mags for the same reason they don´t make one, two, three, four, six, eight, or nine round mags. Conservative columnists have totally lost it.

#7, a fan of the Thug Gov. This law is short term effective for harassing legal gun owners and gun businesses, but the sheeple in this state don´t care. So what if the fiat decree by the Thug made most of the police in this state criminals?

It takes a real moron/liberal to actually think 7 rounds vs 10 rounds for legal magazines is going to stop inner city criminals from killing each other. Sheeple are gleeful that they criminalized legal gun owners. That´s the only point of this law, but the cancer of NYC is fine with a dictator/mayor telling them what they can eat and drink, so no real surprise.

Magazines are blocked to 5 rounds ONLY for hunting. Five rounds are not to be relied upon for self defense or for use during times of social unrest (riots, looting, etc.). If they were, police would not have switched overwhelmingly to 15 round capacity magazines for their pistols and 30-rd magazines for their rifles.

Further, when someone uses a firearm to defend themselves and their families - unlike police officers - they are not wearing a utility belt with two spare magazines within easy reach. They are not monitored by radio and GPS. They do not have an armed partner watching their back. They do not have the luxury of being warned of the danger they are about to be confronted with. They are not wearing body armor. They do not have the big blue swarm coming to save them when they are actively engaged with a violent felon.

In fact, citizens are usually using that firearm to fend off multiple assailants that tend to strike with the element of surprise, frequently at night and frequently at close quarters. A citizen defending themselves, their home and their families doesn´t have armed backup and two spare 15-rd magazines on their hip and at the ready.

If someone wants to limit their defense to 5-7 rounds - let that be their choice, and let the governor, president, mayor, etc. that demand such be similarly protected. But do not limit the means of the law-abiding to defend against those that respect no law.

I hope the mag manufacturers decide to only sell 7 round mags to Law enforcement in NY

Thanks for the thug comment. But you´re all missing my points. First, it´s simply wrong to say, as the article does, that "manufacturers have never had a reason to make a magazine with fewer than 10 rounds." It´s a FACT that 5 round magazines are in production today. Second, it´s pointless to worry that manufacturers won´t make seven round magazines when all they have to do is block the ten round mags that they already make. I didn´t make any claim about which mag was best for home defense or criminals killing each other or anything else. This has nothing to do with gun control being right or wrong (I think it´s wrong), but with the FACTS of what magazine makers are doing and can do.
