Quoted: Nice cut & paste job Aimless- but what are you trying to say ? The guy asked about selling a PREBAN rifle. I thought the NY law only copied FEDERAL law, (yes I know there's no sunset, and I assume we're not talking about Albany or NYC ). So what's the problem?

I am not giving anyone any ADVICE, but you are a wiseman AKs.
