    If gun violence does NOT decline after this, can everybody just swallow their pride and admit that it didn't work?

    The wrong state passed this - sounds like it should've been Connecticut not NY.

    Just reading it it appears there are going to be a lot of pretty angry NY residents, and it seems more like a knee-jerk reaction instead of a well thought out approach.
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    I don't think it's going to fly.... the city of Chicago already tried to go a similar route and lost.

    In McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010), the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment limits state and local governments to the same extent that it limits the federal government.

    McDonald v. Chicago, 561 US 3025 (2010), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that determined whether the Second Amendment applies to the individual states. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. The decision cleared up the uncertainty left in the wake of District of Columbia v. Heller as to the scope of gun rights in regard to the states.

    Just googled "politics"

    It said--the ability to legislate through knee jerk reactions in lieu of well thought out discussions.

    So--there you have it.......

    Texas State Lawmakers to Consider Proposal to Arrest Any Federal Agent Trying to Enforce New Gun Laws

    According to WOAI.com, A Texas lawmaker says he plans to file the Firearms Protection Act, which would make any federal laws that may be passed by Congress or imposed by Presidential order which would ban or restrict ownership of semi-automatic firearms or limit the size of gun magazines illegal in the state, 1200 WOAI news reports.

    Republican Rep. Steve Toth says his measure also calls for felony criminal charges to be filed against any federal official who tries to enforce the rule in the state.

    “If a federal official comes into the state of Texas to enforce the federal executive order, that person is subject to criminal prosecution,” Toth told 1200 WOAI’s Joe Pags Tuesday. He says his bill would make attempting to enforce a federal gun ban in Texas punishable by a $50,000 fine and up to five years in prison.

    I feel so much better knowing that criminals in New York are no longer allowed to use magazines that hold more than 7 bullets. All hail and praise our DEMOCRAT leaders!!!!

    If this really fix's the homicide problem in NY maybe they should consider outlawing meth and fix the drug problem while they are at it.

    New York first state to pass post-Sandy Hook gun legislation

    They already tout that the currently enacted laws have likely saved "countless lives". Who knows what the toll could have been...yada yada...

    Give me a break.
    On another note, I found a mint stainless steel Colt Python 6" for a helluva price, (less than $1200) considering it...

    Speaking of Texas -- If the Lone Star state ever teams up with the civil-war confederacy states (who already are in denial about the outcome of the Civil War), and propose secession again it could get interesting. As recently as November 2012 Texas citizens were able to muster well over 100,000 signatures in favor of giving the U.S. Gov't the big middle finger and breaking away from the Union, forming their own government.

    Check it out: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/16/us...tion.html?_r=0

    Texas has vast sources of Oil, shipping ports, and money. I don't think the current state of things in the U.S. can be supported at this rate. Eventually the demands of a vast and ever growing state populace will trump the ability of the U.S. Federal Gov't to enforce it's laws. The Feds can say no, but what happens when millions of ARMED Americans say yes?
