The city is loaded with nut jobs on both sides of the fence.

WCBS-TV is reporting it was "an M16 type rifle".

Not possible. Assuming AR-15 pattern, they have been banned in NYC since 1991 or so. And of course Andy's SAFE Act. Plus illegal possession of a weapon, attempted murder, etc.

My brother, his wife, and their 4 day old baby took cover in a bathroom and locked the door. I'll be getting more details tonight when they get home.

Post reporting he had a sex assault arrest in 2004, so unlikely he had NYC permits, odd that he was able to pursue MD after that, wondering if he was officially prohibited or not.

I will say, that from the sound of the radio traffic, NYPD/FDNY did a great job, went in, got victims out. None of what happened in Orlando with vics bleeding out for hours.

Been seeing posts about it being an ugly stick.

I suppose the next step will be a special session for SAFE Act II:

1) All registered MSR's except those privately owned by LEO to be turned in for destruction. Possible amnesty to turn in unregistered weapons and magazines for destruction.

2) One feature ban. Effectively eliminating detachable magazines.

3) Semi-auto ban. All semi's added to PL 265 as "Firearms".

4) Long arm registration.

5) New state issued FID card.

6) State FID card required to purchase ammo and only for calibers of owned, registered, firearms.

7) Microstamping

8) 50 caliber ban

UPDATE:

9) Mandatory $1,000,000+ liability insurance.

FOX news just showed a pic of the rifle used, it has the SPUR and a 10 rd mag. So which way is this going to push things ?

New York's Times has this NYPD photo. I am guessing fixed stock. Looks SAFE compliant right down to the 10 round magazine:

No optics or irons ? Good. Prayers to the victims.

"News is nothing more than entertainment disguised as fact"
That rifle is pretty clean and new looking for one just used in a fight and self inflicted gun show wound.

Given the antics, climate, and scruples of the anti-gun government of NYC, I wouldn't for a second put it beneath someone to supply a stock photo of a hated weapon to the media to ramp up support of legislation desired by Political factions.

Told you modification to comply was a useless endeavor.

Well, he only managed to shoot a few people. If he had only had a pistol grip, who knows...

Thanks, bro. It was close to them, but they barricaded in place in the bathroom, made the room look unoccupied. Given the circumstances, not sure they had any other options. Trapped with a tiny baby in unfamiliar territory. Crazy.

Backstory: They had the baby on Monday, at NYU in Manhattan. They went home Wednesday, and then Thursday went to the pediatrician. Pediatrician said the baby had a bit of jaundice, and sent them to see his partner who happened to be at Bx-Leb. Partner saw the baby and admitted him right then.

Talk about wrong place....

Interview: ff to 6:10

The AR was sold by Upstate Guns and Ammo in Schenectady. Same store that had a couple Glocks stolen. I doubt they'll be in business much longer.

Long drive to buy something he could have obtained on Long Island...shop known to not ask too many questions, like, don't you want some iron sights with this rifle?

It is a shame for the business if he met all the federal and state requirements including that all glorious "NICS background check". But knowing New York they will probably cite some top secret unpublished regulation to shut them down.

The Times Union, doin' their best reporting!

The gunman, 45-year-old Henry Bello of Manhattan, bought the AM-15 assault rifle in mid-June

/sigh

I checked Anderson, they sell the rifle as "optics ready".

Anything on any channels where the state police or gov't discussing the legality of the spur grip as a workaround to unSAFE?

A NYT article said it was SAFE Act compliant; which way that cuts depends entirely on your point of view. The article was a complete piece of crap, and essentially admitted the SAFE Act was a joke (jeepers, he "got around" the magazine restriction by carrying 3 10 round magazines -- but only used one). Many lives were saved because he did not use an optic, which is banned (news to me).

Basically, even if a rifle complies with the SAFE Act, it is still an assault rifle.
