NEW YORK GUN OWNERS TAKE NOTE: THIS IS THE FINAL DAY TO REGISTER YOUR “ASSAULT WEAPONS” UNDER NY SAFE

What The Law-Abiding New York Firearms’ Owner Must Know About Governor Andrew Cuomo’s NYSAFE Act

Today is the final day to register “assault weapons” under NY SAFE. Some New York gun owners have decided not to register their “assault weapons.” We strongly advise against this course of action. Why? Our interest is to keep your guns in your hands. Failure to register “assault weapons” does not serve that end. NY SAFE says: “if you knowingly fail to timely register such weapon or surrender it, you shall be guilty of a Class A Misdemeanor.” What does that mean? NY SAFE suggests you’ll likely lose your “assault weapons.” But, is that all you’ll lose? In our March 19, 2014 post we said you can lose much more for failure to timely register. You’ll likely lose your pistol license and long arm permit. That means you’ll lose all your firearms if you knowingly fail to register your assault weapons.  We had warned you then and we are alerting you now to the dangers you face if you decide not to register your “assault weapons.”

Ignoring the requirements of NY SAFE is not the way to combat it. We believe the best way to deal with NY SAFE is to remove the politicians who fought for and who support it. Once they’re removed from Office, the politicians who represent your interests and who actively fight to preserve our sacred “Bill of Rights” will repeal NY SAFE.

Understand: by refusing to register your “assault weapon” you give Governor Cuomo and the other antigun zealots a reason to revoke your pistol license and long arm permit and to confiscate your guns – all of them. Failure to register your “assault weapon” is precisely what they want. They want a reason to go after your weapons. Don’t give them what they want!
