New York "relaxes" SAFE ACT a tad!

[georgerkahn]

According to Newsday (newspaper) article (penned by Michael Gormley: michaelgormley@newday.com), Gov. Andrew Cuomo "agreed yesterday to suspend sections of his SAFE Act covering ammunition sales".
"New York will suspend indefinitely its efforts to require background checks for ammunition purchasers and create a database of buyers."
Most happy change to me :) :) :) is: "The state will also lift the ban on Internet sales of ammunition under the SAFE Act."

I rang a mail-order/Internet store yesterday, and they purport to know nothing about this change in the law... I'm hoping they get enough inquiries and orders to induce them to pursue looking into the law change, realizing how much revenue they're ignoring.

Sounds like their stupidity is costing them $. I sure hate that.

Just a speck of dust in the eye of tyranny.

Sounds like the old "kick and cookie" political garbage to me. Get elected, pass all kinds of regressive legislation (or threaten to) and then placate the masses by reducing or repealing a small (emphasis on "small") bit of the repressive legislation. The answer is political involvement! Sometimes you are the nut-cracker, sometimes the nut.

It will likely take some time before most internet mailhouses get the go ahead to send ammo to NY.

Well some of the article kind of miss interpreted what happened. Heir Cuomo sighed a law to suspend the partof the SAFEACT that pertains to backround checks on ammo purchases UNTILL the technology exists to perform such a background check. I think it was SCOPE that posted several places that would ship to NY w/o a FFL. I just hope he's gone by the "time" they get the tech figgured out
