Does anyone know the assault rifle laws for New York City? I am moving there in the next year or so and would like to know for future purchases.
Thanks

The Second Amendment begins when the First Amendment ends.
Their answer, no matter what it is, will be shot down in flames. Hence the reason they will not have an open debate on the subject. They know full well the lies they tell will be exposed under such scrutiny. The NRA needs to publicly challenge them to a debate or even a debate on the Congress floor. They have nothing to support any of their claims and they are well aware that we do have facts to support our statements. It'll never happen, if I were them, I would never do it.
I know everyone knows what a wrongfully called "assault weapon" is. I just like to point out the absurdities whenever possible.

The sad thing is that the folks who are so afraid of guns probably will die an early death from heart disease or a car accident. Both of those kill far more than guns do.

New York City has two definitions of firearm. The New York City Charter has a broader meaning of firearm to include any firearm (defined by the New York Administrative Code), rifle, shotgun, assault weapon, or machine gun. The New York City Administrative Code more narrowly defines firearm as any pistol or revolver, a shotgun having a barrel(s) less than eighteen inches in length, a rifle having a barrel(s) less than sixteen inches in length, or any weapon made from a shotgun or rifle with an overall length of less than 26 inches. Assault weapons (defined in the NYC Administrative code) are not considered firearms except as specifically provided, making this second definition different than the New York State Law.
The definition of assault weapon includes semiautomatic center fire or rimfire rifle or semiautomatic shotgun, which has one or more of the following features:
folding or telescoping stock or no stock;
pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
bayonet mount;
flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor;
barrel shroud;
grenade launcher.
In addition, the commissioner shall, by rule, designate specific semiautomatic center fire or rimfire rifles or semiautomatic shotguns, identified by make, model and/or manufacturer's name, as within the definition of assault weapon, if the Commissioner determines that such weapons are particularly suitable for military and not sporting purposes:
Any shotgun with a revolving-cylinder magazine;
Any part, or combination of parts, designed or redesigned or intended to readily convert a rifle or shotgun into an assault weapon.
The definition of assault weapon shall not include any rifle or shotgun modified to render it permanently inoperative.
It is unlawful for any person to possess or dispose of an assault weapon except for members of the military, persons employed with defense contracts for testing, and persons voluntarily surrendering an assault weapon to the Police Commissioner. Ammunition feeding device means magazines, belts, feedstrips, drums or clips capable of being attached to or utilized with firearms, rifles, shotguns or assault weapons.
The presence of a rifle, or shotgun, or rifle or shotgun ammunition, in a vehicle, room, dwelling or structure, without a rifle and shotgun permit therefore and a certificate of registration therefore, or the presence of an assault weapon in a vehicle, room, dwelling or structure, shall be presumptive evidence of possession thereof by all persons occupying the vehicle, room, dwelling or structure at the time.
It is unlawful to alter, change, remove, disfigure, obliterate or deface the name of the make, model, manufacturer's or serial number of a rifle, shotgun, handgun, or assault weapon.
Whenever the Mayor declares a state of emergency in New York City, the following activities are prohibited:
the sale or transfer of possession of any ammunition, guns and other firearms of any size description;
the displaying by or in any store or shop of any ammunition, guns and other firearms of any size or description;
the possession in a public place of a rifle or shotgun by any person, except police or military in performance of official duty;
the possession of any rifle or shotgun in any place, public or private, by a nonresident who has not been issued a permit by the Police Commissioner.
It is unlawful to fire or discharge any gun, pistol, rifle, fowling piece or other firearm in the City, except for certain premises designated by the Police Commissioner.

It is all just lip service anyway, they'll keep knocking it down city by city state by state. They've figured out that you must eat an elephant one bite at a time, now we could be looking at some real uphill battles. Of course, with New York, San Francisco, New Jersey, and New Orleans I think there may be a little more awareness than before so we'll have to keep pounding out the pro gun propaganda and hope it sticks to those on the fence. This is really going to get ugly when they hit some of the other cities, especially out West, but not so far as Kalifornia. I think they should try Prescott, Arizona next or maybe San Antonio and if they are really feeling ballsy, how about Phoenix. Nowhere to run to baby...nowhere to hide and a snitload of happy gun owners. I dont't know a single family that doesn't own at least three guns. Liberals have a real hard time propogating in 120 degree heat, the natives get a little restless when strange folk start throwing their weight around and when you add that heat, eeewwwwweeeeee it could get real ugly, real quick.
So I guess we'll just have to wait it out. I think we should all concentrate our effort locally as that's where it'll happen anyway. Good luck and Godspeed!
Oh, and when they're through trying to get Phoenix maybe they should move on down to Tucson and then Tombstone[;)], hahahahahaha dead lefties, I love it!!!!!!!!!!![}:)]

I thought I was a hard case.
My advice to anyone moving to NY city is
don't do it. NY upstate is a neat place but it
is still NY. Gun laws suck and thanks to that
wolf in a sheep's coat Governor George P ( R )
(anti-gun nit-wit) They for the first time
since the Sullivan law , have enacted new
anti-gun laws . NY did only classifies hand
guns as firearms until now . Don't know
what they are doing today. Even the gun guys
can't get it together . Since the gun finger
print law almost all of the small an some of
the bigger gun shop that I know of have closed.
The BATFE shut down one I know of and
auctioned of all his guns. He got old and
forgot to make some entries in his log book.
Places not to go NJ~NY~MA~CT~RI and KA.
If anyone has to go to these places just remember
what Bill Clinton said , " Don't ask don't tell"[8D][8D]
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.
Make yourselves sheep, and the wolves will eat you.
You need to know that NY city has more unregistered guns than upstate has registered guns , and that's alot.[8D]
I will concede that MA is no firearms heaven, but it does have a somewhat undeserved rep re: gun control
When the meekest of men raise their fist at you in defiance, you have lost. It is just a matter then of admitting it to yourself.
