Sen. Daniel Squadron has filed a Notice of Committee Consideration and Notice of Chamber Consideration for his bill S-2050, relates to prohibiting the possession of certain 50 caliber firearms; directs the division of state police to embark on a program whereby persons currently in lawful possession of such weapons may be reimbursed for the fair market value thereof upon turning in such weapons to a designated officer.      
 

Move out while you can boys... Pretty soon the wall will go up and nobody will get out

Wonder how much I'll get for my NY militia marked 50-70 rolling blocks.

And what about the thousands of dollars in tripods, optics, cleaning kits, spares, etc?    Sure just like the pre-ban mags and parts from SAFE,  the owners are left holding thousands of dollars of devalued property.

It's not uncommon to have a collectible arm with accessories valued more than the arm itself.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that few gun owners are going to surrender a firearm and get stuck with a bunch of stuff they can't use or will take a significant loss on.

The Dems like to point to Australia's gun ban.  What they forget- or don't bother to know- is that Australia's purchase also included magazines/clips, optics, slings, cleaning kits, tripods/bipods, EVERYTHING that went with a particular rifle.   AND AND AND Australia paid "top dollar" for everything- not some "fair market" arrived at by some weenie.

Legality of banning 50s aside,  if USA or NYS want to BUY arms, they would be much more successful if the buy the whole package at real prices.    Remember pre-SAFE prices?  I saw AR15s going for $2500 and AR10s for $3500;  30rd M16 mags were going for $100.   If NYS had offered to pay those prices they would have taken 70% of the AR15s and AR10s out of private hands...instead they got 95+% non-compliance.

I'm The Duke of New York, A-Number-1

NYPD doesnt need them either than or any other le in nys when are they taking them away from them

I don't want the fair market value, I want the full retail price.

I'm so broke right now, if I could get the $3k I have in my Sharps I'd take it.

The irony being when I bought it, it was shipped without FFL involvement, due to it being exempt because of the chambering.
Now the diameter of said bullet is going to make it an evil jumbo jet shooting down killing machine.

Does that mean it's coming up for a vote?  So it's passed all the other committee hurdles?

I see the word "certain". I'm guessing they're trying not to stir up the blackpower/muzzleloading crowd?

That's the intention, but they'll screw it up and those will be included too.

Oh no they can't piss off the fudd's. They might actually lose if we had all the firearms enthusiasts involved.
I don't understand the older crowd that hates black (maybe their color?) rifles. As far as I'm concerned they are enemies as well.

I doubt it has anything to do with "Fudds".  Muzzle loaders are firearms, they're nothing more than lengths of pipe., hard to regulate. That every 28, 20, 16, 12 & 10ga shotgun would qualify.

Yep. The wording is very lose certain is the killer

Bet the NY republicans back this

LOL.  Missed some.  And I'm not telling which.

And MY republicans know better than to support this.

Almost all of us had the same sentiment when SAFE was proposed.  But I do hope I'm wrong.

There's always this..

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.416_Barrett

.338 Lapua. In Vermont.

His web page actually accepted an email from someone outside of his district, something that most of them wont do. I suggest that you all make your feelings known

Looks like .585 Nyati is still legal at 10,000 foot pounds.

Unfortunately, no as it is still over 50 cal. Might be time to sell.

Shit that's an "OR" clause.

They're not taking my favorite African Big 5 Caliber.

I'm not ditching my .585 Nyati and .577 Nitro Express and I'm surely not registering them.

Make sure the rich Safari FUDDs understand what this means.... .416 Rigby and .375 H&H are for schoolgirls who shoot big whitetail.

Yeah, all five of them statewide are sure to make a huge political impact.

So they want to use our tax money to confiscate our guns.........its like being raped with your own dick

Ha!....I've never heard it described that way...but upon thoughtful reflection...yes, living in NY is just about like get raped with Ones own genitalia. We are just fucking ourselves in the end.

 

Let's get someone to stamp out a bunch of ".50 Cal" labeled stripped lowers, sell them at cost, and put up a website saying they're worth $500 each due to being of "limited production". Everyone gets a several thousand dollar "tax return" and buys .458 SOCOMs and a bunch of ammo

Going to go buy a 50 beawulf barrell an go price gouge ny

You guys are talking about this like it's a done deal. Is it? Time to make phone calls?

Well, hell, if I could do that, I'd be a millionaire from the porn industry, and I wouldn't have to live in NYS!
