What this Means:
In New York State, both the Senate and Assembly must pass a bill before the Governor can consider it for signature (approval) or veto (rejection). S314 is an identical version of A2126 in the Senate. Experienced observers know that a bill with a “same as” in the alternate house is an important early sign that a bill could pass both the Senate and Assembly. It indicates that individual lawmakers in each house are supportive of the bill.

WITH SUBDIVISION SIXTEEN-A OF SECTION 400.00 OF THIS CHAPTER.

So, if you buy ammo for your 10/22, you can buy as much as you want. If you but it for your 15-22, only 20 rounds if the mag is pinned, but2 rounds if the magazine is removable - capacity of the "assault weapon" would be 1 round in the chamber.

Honk honk!

Maybe they should specify what caliber an "assault weapon" is. I can see the clerk Fudds-R-Us, "is this for an assault weapon?"

I bet the gun stores down in PA are jumping for joy.

That would defeat the purpose.

That would defeat the purpose.

To be purposely vague and cause further confusion? Or hope that everyone just decides to sell only 20 rounds every 3 months? What constitutes a sale? If I buy a box from Pete at the LGS and then have Charlie ring up another box, is that one sale or two?

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

Yes, intentionally vague. It will benefit them, not us.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Just buy bulk varmint hunting ammo. Lots of woodchucks.

I promise not to take the ammo I purchased for my Mini 14 and load it in my AR.
