The New York Daily News<\/a> reports that fewer than 45,000 New Yorkers have registered their scary-looking black guns out of an estimated million actual modern sporting rifles in the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat these numbers expose is that, if there are people who are wilfully [sic] ignoring the law, that means tens of thousands of gun owners are not complying with a law that is supported by New Yorkers,” said Leah Gunn Barrett, executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, citing a May poll commissioned by her group that showed state residents support key provisions of the SAFE Act.<\/p>\n

Under New York law, failure to register an assault weapon by the April 2014 deadline can be treated as misdemeanor offense, punishable by \u201cforfeiture of the weapon\u201d and up to one year in jail, according to the New York State Police.<\/p>\n

Under a different statute, the situation can also be treated as a low-level felony, punishable by up to four years in prison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, the governor and the legislature made them criminals with a swipe of their pens in the dead of the night, like they were hiding something. I hope they are more than a little discomforted by that thought while they try to sleep at night. The article continues that local law enforcement has been less than willing to enforce the Legacy Governor’s law.<\/p>\n

In fact, several local police departments and county sheriffs, mostly in pockets of upstate New York where hunting is popular, have been accused of not enforcing parts of the SAFE Act and refusing to encourage local residents to register their assault weapons because their officers were opposed to the law.<\/p>\n

According to The New York Times, several upstate towns and villages have even passed resolutions denouncing the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When the paper that pays Gersh Kuntzman a living wage tried to get a statement from the Legacy Governor, he deflected their questions to the state police – they didn’t respond either. <\/p>\n

I’d say that New York State is in rebellion – I wouldn’t recommend to the Legacy Governor that he try to take extreme measures to enforce his ill-considered laws or he might find out what a real rebellion looks like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
