Townhall is reporting this as proof that the SAFE Act did nothing to stop the recent hospital shooting because the shooter used a compliant rifle. I totally agree with the article and think the SAFE act is pointless. But living as a New Yorkistan resident, I fear Cuomo and his minions will just see this as an excuse to pass more restrictive laws.

Anyone know if Bello was in legal possession of the rifle in NYC? I thought you had to jump through a lot of legal hoops to own any kind of firearm in NYC.

And while the AM-15 rifle that Dr. Henry Bello used looks a lot like the type of assault-style rifles that have been banned in New York since 2013, it was perfectly legal.
Indeed, Bello’s AM-15 was among a burgeoning category of rifles sold in New York that are considered compliant with the state’s SAFE Act gun control law.
Such guns look like the classic AR-15 assault-style weapons but they meet the requirements of the SAFE Act because the military features have been removed.
