According to A2466 that passed the assembly:
S 2. Subdivision 22 of section 265.00 of the penal law is REPEALED and a new subdivision 22 is added to read as follows:
22. "Assault weapon" means any:
(A) Semi-automatic or pump-action rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:
(i) a pistol grip;
(ii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand;
(iii) a folding, telescoping or
thumbhole stock;
(iv) a shroud attached to the barrel, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel; or
(v) a muzzle brake or muzzle compensator;
So this is an assault weapon!
It's time to get all gun owners involved! All those target shooters and trap shooters and hunters who say "that doesn't apply to me. I don't have one of those assault rifles!" Well, it does and now, you do!"
