NY SAFE ACT Question

nyforester

When does personal sale back ground checks go into effect ?

For instance, say I want to buy a firearm from a friend....do we need to do a chack on it now or is there a grace period until January 15, 2014 ?

The law states that "assault weapons" registration must be done by 4/15/14.

I was told (informed) that after that date, no "assault weapons" can be legally sold in NYS or passed down to family in NYS.

I have been unable to locate this statement in the text.

Does anyone know if this is true ?

I'm not 100% but I think it not until January 2014. We are also supposed to register by then but have they come up with the registration system yet?

I have been in denile since January 15, 2013. I am just starting to look into this animal. Most of what I am reading is totally unconstitutional and all New York gun owners are probably a criminal right now !

If I were a NYer I'd be looking at relocating. And if that isn't an option I start calling relatives/friends who you trust that live in gun friendly states to see if they would babysit your soon to be illegal items until such time that you decide you've had enough of the Empire State and finally tell Cuomo & Co to kick rocks.

Cuomo's next move will be to propose an increase in the NY STATE budget and build more jails for all of the criminals that he created from signing the SAFE ACT ?
