January 15, 2006The Latest Assault on NY Gun OwnersNaturally the New York Daily News is all for it. From an editorial today:
Doesn't the BATF already require dealers to properly store, account for and keep records of their firearms? And there it it: Gun owners would HAVE TO store their firearms in safes (see previous post) -- and how would they enforce that? Door-to-door inspections? Child-proof guns? Is anything child-proof? And since almost all large game hunting ammo can pierce body armor, is that the end of Deer Season for ever? Who decides what an "assault weapon" is? And of course the misunderstood .50 caliber bullet will be banned. By the time Sheldon Silver and his Brady Bunch types get through, you'll be lucky if you can own a field-stripped sling-shot.

By the time Sheldon Silver and his Brady Bunch types get through, you'll be lucky if you can own a field-stripped sling-shot. Welcome to my REALITY. If you need a child proof bottle opened, get a child to open it. Posted by: George at January 15, 2006 12:01 PMAmen, and concur, to George above. I think I remember seeing one of the very first "child-proof" bottles when I was a child of a lesser age than that age which would have entitled me to open the bottle. (According to the label on the bottle, which included directions on how to open the bottle.) Well, just to be contrary, I opened the thing. I did not imbibe the contents; I also read the rest of the label. "Child-proof" containers, along with their labels, are not capable of defending against smart children. Oh, the above episode happened, as far as I can recall, sometime in the early 60s. People with autistic traits can pick any lock, defeat any simple-minded security gizmo. Snork! Posted by: Justthisguy at January 16, 2006 01:16 AMThis is so depressing to someone who lives in rural New York. (And a lot of the state fits that description). We have idiots, who have probably never seen a gun except maybe in their personal security guard's holster, wanting to take them away from people like us who NEED them. What am I supposed to do to the coyotes who were down behind the barn hunting our barn cats last night? Throw snow balls at them? Posted by: Marianne at January 16, 2006 07:04 AMSo I am curious about all the places with free access to firearms, which are contributing to the high crime rates in places like NYC where there are no legal guns in citizen hands. So why aren't the crime rates in these lawless gun hugging areas as high, or higher than, New York's? If guns cause crime, then lots of guns must mean lots of crime, right? Posted by: Steve Skubinna at January 16, 2006 05:18 PMFunny, and here I thought "armor piercing ammunition" (that is, ammunition with a metal penetrator core, rather than "any ammunition that can penetrate any grade of body armor, ever") was banned already by federal law, with a special exemption for the SS109 .223 penetrator round. (Oddly, I've never heard of Evil Drug Gangs using said rounds to Kill Our Cops...) Posted by: Sigivald at January 16, 2006 05:25 PMthe comment input form disappears. Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that. By Golly, you're reading an archived post.
