our qual is 72 rounds… most of us have two pistols (compact and sub compact), thats 144 rounds JUST to qualify each quarter…on top of ANY tactical training… on average, a Federal LEO with my agency shoots ~300 rounds a quarter… (not to mention any off duty practice)
Same name… different serial
So we have our First Safe act arrest, an Iraqi war veteran. Seems a bit like entrapment from what I have heard so far.
It’s not fucking entrapment.
The cop told the guy he was a felon the guy said he didn’t care and sold him the firearms anyways.
Go look up the definition of entrapment and the case law that is referenced.
Couple key points here
http://www.wgrz.com/news/article/205946/37/Silver-Creek-Man-Charged-with-Violating-SAFE-Act
Wassell is charged with three felonies related to the sale of illegal weapons and one misdemeanor. That misdemeanor is related to the SAFE Act which went into effect while the investigation was taking place.
This whole thing was to catch people selling firearms to people who admitted to being felons.
SAFE Act wasn’t even passed when this started
It may not technically be entrapment but unless the guy was looking to break the law by finding a felon to sell to it is pretty shitty.
no, it’s not shitty, because he may be actively selling to felons which would be a huge fuck up.
I hear that.
“SENATE DEMOCRATS DROP ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN FROM PROPOSED GUN CONTROL BILL”
News coming in slowly
Nice! That could hurt “Cuomo 2016” too.
Without searching this entire thread, what is the deadline for registering AR15s in NY?
Early next year
I think Cuomo 2016 is pretty much done after he rammed NY SAFE through unless we get a bunch more mass shootings and the national mood against additional gun control swings dramatically.
Hopefully he is done.
So they can still be bought and sold until then? I was thinking of selling some of my stuff but wasn’t sure if it was still kosher.
I think it was a 50/50 shot based on the landscape when it was passed
Public opinion shifted quickly the other way.

No if you didn’t own one you can’t buy one
Now all private sales need to through a FFL also.
I guess if you don’t like someone you could just post on face book that someone bought a ar from this other guy and bam start a whole shit storm.
So if you go to register it early next year how would they know the sale date? Just being devil’s advocate here. It just seems strange the dates(deadlines) aren’t the same.
They wouldn’t so technically what you could do is buy a stripped AR lower and assemble the gun now or buy one from someone you trust(so you don’t end up on the news)

And to think I really liked Jim Carry before.
I’m in love.
It’s a mixmaster of parts, but it shoots beautifully and is in awesome condition. Traced the receiver back to 1944, and the barrel is date stamped March of '53. Stock is new American Black Walnut.
.30-'06 vs 5.56mm.
It shoots as good as it looks.
^ yah what an idiot
Edit: Jim C not you trueblue lol
