70,000 New York Permit Holders Are Now Felons for Failing to Register Handguns
On Thursday of this week, more than 70,000 New York pistol permit holders woke up as felons. Law-breakers.

What was their crime? They didn’t register their handguns with the state. Now, why on God’s green earth would they have to do that?

Emperor Gov. Andrew Cuomo rammed through the NY Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act in 2013. This insidious law requires pistol permit holders to register their handguns and recertify their licenses every five years. Failure to do so is a Class E felony.

The objective was clear. Build a massive central database of every handgun owner in New York. Not only who they are and where they live, but what handguns they have in their possession. Hmmm. Why would a government want to know which citizens are armed? I’ll leave you to answer that.

“We’ll have for the first time a statewide handgun database that will allow the state, allow local officials to check periodically,” Cuomo said while pitching the SAFE Act, adding, “You don’t want criminals and people who are mentally ill to have guns.”

Good Morning! 81,000 New York Gun Owners Are Now Felons - The Truth About Guns

Where are they getting these numbers? Me thinks a bit of fear mongering is going on here.

It's been two days and the tally is in?
Hmmm

 

[ArmedCorgi]

We're all felons here in NYS.

 

[Cooolone]

Oh those numbers are way, WAY off...

2 weeks ago, the NYSP website had those numbers (non recertified) at almost 150k... And "THOSE" numbers were bullshit too!

Just like the numbers they kept quite bout on the Assault Weapon Registration, lol.

But it don't matter still... They aren't coming to kick in your door. And quite frankly, you need to be "CONVICTED" before becoming a felon, there is no automation. Using the "Clinton" legal paradigm, as long as you did not "INTEND" to break the law, there is no crime!

Have a nice day!

good point, I think you're correct, the number is probably half of that. and if there are people that have not registered, my guess is they are seniors with no access to the internet. if there are so many, there should now be an "amnesty period" so the state doesn't ruin more lives and families

I did see on the news, one old guy said he just found out about this a couple weeks ago and it actually took a week to find his permit. He hasn't touched the thing in 30 years LOL

 

[CzechFan]

And there are mail bags full of unopened paper forms, LOL

 

[GOYABEAN]

We're all felons here in NYS.

former felon

 

[thegatman]

But wait. I sent in the form. Oh no. What do I do?

 

[Bob]

No doubt that these numbers do not include the piles of forms that are sitting in the mailroom, waiting to be processed.

 

[Defilade]

Lock em up!

 

[Catskillkid]

I'm not sure if this says more about those who did not recertify or those who did.

 

[Saltwater60]

I just heard on the news this morning that it would take them about a year to sort through all this and check everything.

 

[togmaster]

For anyone feeling guilty I'm willing to help by taking all of your guns. No charge I'm doing it out of the kindness of my heart.

 

[masterswimmer]

FYI, when the return receipt came back to me it was stamped with a NYSP stamp. No physical signature. The receipt date is 1/26/18. Curious how long it'll take to enter my info?

 

[Acer-m14]

After a long covert mission deep into the swamp of NYSP .. its has been found that every person in NY with a Pistol Permit is now a Felon because
there information was not in the database at the deadline of registration ..

[Acer-m14]

Update on recertify

 

[fartgamer]

Do I care?

 

[Modean]

Yep

 

[2WheelGnnr]

I heard they just cleaned up the mailroom... spotless..threw all those mail bags full of "stuff" out to start over.

sorry didnt get your paper application/re-registration.

 

[Grimscale]

so the state doesn't ruin more lives and families

When has this State EVER cared about the lives and families of law-abiding American Citizens?

 

[Deplorable Me]

Are they going to arrest the dead permit holders or just register them to vote?

 

[2WheelGnnr]

Duh? ! Register them to vote and to vote for Cumhole for Pres in 2020..

Then arrest their family.........

 

[oc shooter]

sad state of affairs

 

[Twogunwilly]

My son said FUAC and moved to VT.

 

[razor]

I watched the whole Youtube video, I know it was old but 2 of the 3 most mentioned names are now charged with crimes.

 

[Burzum]

Wow if only the Democrats would clean up our voting roles with that same zeal as harassing permit holders.

 

[Target]

I suppose next years recerts are due soon.

I wonder if last years are 50% done yet.

 

[Edwardteach72]

I suppose next years recerts are due soon.

I wonder if last years are 50% done yet.

It's not a year to year thing..

Its literally every day, every day more and more people are required to recertify

Everyone who was issued their license December 24th 2013 had until today to recertify, and anyone issued theirs December 25th tomorrow and so on and so forth
