[quote="Scooterz"]I don't know... the "Assault Rifle" term is subjective. Depends on who you talk to maybe.... I think of "Black" guns... semi-auto... holding more rounds... NOT a deer rifle. Whatever the case may be; I think a responsible American should be able to use what ever gun they choose under the second Amendment to defend themselves from the GVT!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:[/quote

At least some gun manufactures are taking a stance.
http://offgridsurvival.com/guncompanies-boycottnewyork/
Six firearms manufacturers have joined together in an effort to protest New York’s unconstitutional firearms laws. Barrett Firearms, LaRue Tactical, Olympic Arms, Extreme Firepower Inc, Templar Custom and York Arms have all stopped selling firearms to all New York law enforcement and government agencies. A number of them are also starting to call for an industry wide boycott on any state who bans civilian ownership.
The boycott is in response to New York’s latest efforts to strip the American public’s 2nd amendment rights.
President of Olympic Firearms put out the following statement:
Legislation recently passed in the State of New York outlaws the AR15 and many other firearms, and will make it illegal for the good and free citizens of New York to own a large selection of legal and safe firearms and magazines. We feel as though the passage of this legislation exceeds the authority granted to the government of New York by its citizens, and violates the Constitution of the United States
Due the passing of this legislation, Olympic Arms would like to announce that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee of such an entity – will no longer be served as customers.
Olympic Arms invites all firearms manufacturers, distributors and firearms dealers to join us in this action to refuse to do business with the State of New York. We must stand together, or we shall surely fall divided.

The problem with all this stupidity is that they don't solve a single damned problem connected to Firearm related crime. They outlaw the manufacture and sale of an item, yet allow the use and possession of those already out there (Estimated to be somewhere between 1 and 2 million) and expect some kind of a different outcome than the last time they outlawed the same kind of weapon, more or less.
The same Laws apply to several illegal drugs. you can use 'em, and it's a misdemeanor if you're caught using but a felony if you're making or selling. We see how that "War" went . .
Back when Rudy Guilani was the Mayor of NYC, he started a "Zero Tolerance" on all small crime and demanded prosecution and hard time for all of those who got caught with "Illegal Firearms". (Pretty much anything that goes BANG!)
He cut NYC's homocide rate in half.
Now I don't hold with NYC's Gun Control Laws, but, if they would just hammer anyone caught with a "Stolen" gun that would change things a lot, I think. Like I've said in other posts, it's damned few guns that get bought legally at a gun store and then are used in holdups and drive bys . .
And Chicago is the opposite example of "Rigid Gun Control" in NYC . . It's against the law to own even a BB gun in Cook County, yet last year, they confiscated over 1500 "Illegal" guns from "criminals" in Chicago, and still, they had 504 gun related homocides. A new record. Know why?
They seldom prosecute anyone for having an "Illegal" gun in Cook County, and when they do, it's generally a probationary sentence . . So the bad thing about getting caught with a gun in Chicago is that you have to take up time going to court, and you have to buy another "Illegal" gun . .
If you already have laws in place, why not enforce them instead of create a crisis so you can bullsh*t the public some more . . ?
