NYC Gun Laws to change?
Everyone, I hope, has heard about the Supreme Court case of The District of Columbia v. Heller, where a security guard has stepped up to say that the D.C. gun ban is an unconstitutional infringement on the Second Amendment, his right to bear arms.
The New York Sun has published that if gun enthusiasts are victorious in the supreme court case, laws in New York City may change. Currently in New York City to own a handgun, it would cost almost $1000 in fees and is a very lengthy process.
Unfortunately, Mayor Bloomberg has come about as a definite foe of the gun community, where he has pressed lawsuits against manufactuers and retail establishments across the east coast. Something that the people of NYC should consider when voting next 
While sometimes New York City seems like a completely different state when compared to the remainder of New York, the laws and actions regarding firearms in NYC can have a great impact on the rest of the state.
Personally, I think we, as gun enthusiasts, need to support the Second Amendment all across New York State, with hopes that we can fight these ridiculous anti-gun laws.
After Nine’s Gun Ruling, N.Y.’s Gun Laws May Be Next

what can we do? I applied 5 years ago and I was declined because I changed jobs, and didint stay too long in one place. Also an officer at the very entrance of one police plaza was verey rude and with an attitude I commented about it to the interviewer. And in the letter back, I cud have apealed but I chose to not because I had spent too much money by then and I had a feeling I was not going to win anyway. It’s not fair that I can’t purchase a gun to protect my self, property and for target shooting hobby.

A friend of mine purchased a PLR-16. It is made by Kel-Tec and is chambered in 5.56. It is classified as a pistol. He was told by a NY FFL that the State Police refused to register the pistol. Is this particular pistol illegal in NY? I think the FFL guy just wanted to sell him something else.
