You do realize that long guns are only registered in NYS when purchased from a firearms dealer right? Hell I know that rifles I’ve bought from members on this forum had been owned by atleast 4 people before. Even if you wanted to try and restrict ownership it’s just about impossible. Your entitled to your opinion, but what your talking about is completely impractical and unconstitutional. Also AR platform rifles exist for many reason - they have good ergonomics and are easy to shoot - can easily be configured in many calibers - are a tryed and true reliable platform - they have a wide variety of parts and components easily availabl all of these things make them great sporting and hunting rifles Either way there is probably no way to change your opinion just like there is no way to change mine. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/27-dead-in-school-shooting/265750)._
