Consequences of firearm registration: Assembly Bill A1724
If you registered your firearm under the SAFE Act you will legally only be allowed to purchase ammo of that caliber about 3x a year. At a maximum amount of double the capacity of the firearm (which legally is 10 rounds). So a total of 60 bullets per year at Max.If you buy more than that it will be a class E felony. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/A1724
So I'm wondering:
1) How they will know that the ammo you're buying is for your registered "assault rifle"
2) How they will deal with the fact that .223/5.56 and 7.62 (39mm and 51mm)/.308 can be used in bolt guns
3) Do they even know that AR's can be chambered for just about any rifle caliber ever invented?
4) One word: "reloaders"....how are they going top address those that reload their own ammo?
5) Who is going to build and maintain the database and share it with every single entity on the planet that sells ammo so that they can be assured you're not exceeding your quota. This proposal is simply impossible, damn these fukkers are dumb.
Some politician in WA state proposed legislation that would require any elected official writing gun legislation first be fully educated by taking required classes and passing the NRA instructor series as well as the mandatory state firearms owner's qualification course. I'm not sure how I feel about this.....while educating these representatives would reduce the amount of completely asinine legislation they are proposing all the time, it would also allow them to begin crafting legislation that could actually screw us (like eliminating compliant workarounds, regulating sale of reloading components, etc.).
