If it´s good enough for the rest of us, it´s good enough for them too. After all "We The People" are the true first responders.

#1, your attitude is pretty poor. I know first hand that the police cannot respond to crimes as they are initiated in most cases. That doesn´t mean that it doesn´t happen and when it does they don´t hesitate to put their life in danger to protect the innocent victims. They are also a pretty easy target for whoever wishes to target them and it does happen, unfortunately, too often.

Since you only 2 to 4 bullets for self defense, what is the problem?

This will just result in more pet dog deaths.

I meant to add that I do agree with you #1, in that we all should be equally armed.

Since criminals and crazy people heading out on their own personal suicide mission don´t obey laws, all the liberal NY politicians have done is harass law abiding New Yorkers, and have created a black market for the classes of guns and magazines that they have banned.

New York gun owners can certainly show their disdain for what the politicians have done there by moving to other more gun owner friendly States, or if they don´t want to do that, vote the politicians out in the next election who supported that over reaching gun control law.

I´m sure every criminal in NY State will adhere to the smaller magazine size.
democrat = dumbacrat

My contempt for Democrats is boundless.

Not so fast, friends.

The Left "knows" that what they call high-capacity magazines and semi-auto weapons are the problem. If not, why would they want to deny them to every citizen? And if the danger comes from the hi-cap magazines and the semi-auto mechanisms [and is not a product of criminal choices and acts], then yes, even law officers, Secret Service, even members of the military will have to be limited to 7-round magazines and non-auto-loaders.

I´m with you, #8.
This phony baloney legislation was cooked up behind closed doors, NEVER debated on the floor of the NY legislature, and then voted on and signed in just 48 hours.
And now this.

Way to go, Mario, you MUTT!

Nope. If a responsible citizen does not need a rifle for self defense then the civilian police force has no need for it either. The police are not the military.

Let´s get Cuomo to explain why the civilian police need military assault rifles.

And that would be "Andrew" not Mario.

But a mutt is a mutt.
Great question, #11. I like how the Democrats can just ´declare´ that LEs are exempt, because of their own misguided laws.

They cannot legally exempt law enforcement officers. The Constitution guarantees equal treatment under the law!

They have opened up any law enforcement officers to tremendous civil liability- the lawyers will have a field day, no matter whether the courts choose to enforce this law on a selective basis (also illegal as hell). Those oh so smart democrats have again proven to have attained escape velocity dumbass status.

fair is fair. Seven means seven. No exemption for anyone. If an honest citizen doesn´t need more than seven, then neither does a cop.

Why is it ok to violate a citizens rights but not a cop´s?

Fine # 6 but they can´t move west of the rockies.

I say sign the law as written. Then have the cops arrest themselves. Show NY means what it says. What a great example of serious gun control this would be for the rest of the nation.

Let´s see if I have this right. Cops have a need for "assault rifles with 30 round magazines to protect us and themselves from the "bad guys" but private law abiding citizens don´t need them for the same purposes? Only in New York is that kind of rationale even deemed sane.

Some people are more equal than others.

The whole thing is idiotic. The criminals will be the only ones with the 17-20 round mags...but that´s okay because they´re urban yutes or illegals.

This is NY, run by dumb demonrats everywhere you look. Dumb is as dumb does.

Simple. Just return law enforcement to revolvers.
