If you could change ONE law in NY............

[Jetster]

Allow Cross bows for hunting would be first,then take all the restrictions off owning/possessing a pistol......

[GROM]

You really want to give the state the power to kill people? No thanks. What about the wrongfully accused?

I never said I support the current system of the death penalty some states have. A new one, my system, would work a lot better.
As the topic says, I can only pick one law, so I did.

The ONLY law that needs to be removed from NYS or all states suffering from liberal communism, should be the AWB. I find it funny that you can have access to a preban 30 round magazine, but not a new one. Sorry, but that's somewhat hypocrisy considering it would still allow access to the same number of rounds. Whatever group of idiots that came up with that law, are probably kicking themselves for how stupid it sounds now.

For me, it would be the proper cause requirement for CCW. Downstate, it's currently impossible for "the people. . .to bear arms," and that has to change. Having a handgun at home won't do me much good if I run into trouble on the streets or in the subway, which is where danger is most likely to lie. If you're not a felon and not insane, you should be able to carry. I'd even allow for a mandatory firearms training course (which the state doesn't require), so long as it wasn't expensive. But seriously, Rober De Niro and Howard Stern can carry loaded handguns in NYC, but I can't? Please. . .

I think it did what they wanted it do, and that was to drive up the prices of the magazines we can legally use. A pre-ban magazine we buy used here for $20-30 would cost half of that, and would be factory fresh in a free state.

If anything, they're kicking themselves for not banning all magazines.

I too would have to pick the AWB to be removed first. Although I really do I hate the license to own pistol equally.

Crossbow hunting is alive and on its way in NYS

If we can choose just one then yea AWB for me too.

The AWB is a separate law from the one banning post-ban "high capacity" mags. If they were tied in together, then I'd pick the AWB.

[DystruktoBoi1]

Well what the heck, I thought they were tied together myself, idk Hicap law or AWB then.....

[Tifosi]

2 term and 2-4 years per term limit on ALL public offices from state gov on down to local town council, including county judges, chiefs of police, sheriffs, pubic officials that manage the pubic utilities and services, records clerks, etc.

At least that way we wouldn't have to tolerate them for more than a comparatively short period of time instead of thier entire adult lifetime.

Most people think they're the same law, so don't feel too bad. But they are indeed different. I don't recall if they were tied together in the federal AWB of 1994 though.

That'd be awesome as well. Good ole Charles would've been gone long ago.

[meketrefe]

Outsource all government with civil honest people ... maybe a group in Finland?

[Darthgamer138]

My percentages:

40%- Nix permits to own pistols. SHALL issue CCWs can stay.

35%- AWB.

20%- LCAFD Ban repealed.

5%- Class 3 ban repealed. I'll pay the tax stamp and whatnot, but there is no reason I shouldn't be able to get a suppressor.

So it looks like no Permits to own wins for me.

Yea they gave us a lil bone with that law but its a start!Looking for full inclusion,totally legal during regular archery season...

[38Colt]

1. Term limits for politicians. Force out the liberal ****heads!
2. Allow hi-ap mags. As mentioned before, preban are allowed, but not post '94. Stupid law!

[nessman]

In the context of this website... repeal NY Penal Law 265 and 400... the Federal gun laws work just fine for other states like Vermont and Alaska... no reason why they can't work here.

From a political stance - yes, term limits across the board... lifetime politicians - especially those with immense power (i.e., Sheldon Silver) are the root of many of our state's problems.

And... while I'm fine with the "gay thing" so long as what happens in their bedroom stays in the bedroom... and I'm a supporter of organizations like The Pink Pistols... we can repeal that gay marriage law too. (hey you asked)

[Chicken Shoot]

it's not a law that i'd like changed, but i'd like to see upstate seperate from nyc.
maybe one becomes a new state, or the greater nyc area becomes a 'district' or something.

We'd all like to see that happen!!! I'd make reality shows and Facebook illegal!! Oh ... I have to change a law ... damn!!

[Wacky Worm]

Definitely the hi-cap restriction.
If I could pick two, then that and the AWB.
If I was king for a day, I would repeal just about every law that's in place to simply impose redundant taxes and fees.

[Sasquatch]

a single law wouldn't fix everything that's wrong with NY.

[Darthgamer138]

Nobody thinks it will. The question is "If you could change one..."

[sr20sean]

Law would say: prohibits laws from making absolutely no sense.

Changing a law though would delete all of the firearm restrictions in the state.

I read a stat somewhere that said if NYC was not a part of NYS, NYS would be the 49th poorest state. Don't think I'd want that.

I'd take that chance. Let Adolf Bloomberg do his thing down there and leave us alone.

I'd rather have a state with a decent/good economy and somewhat restrictive firearms laws than one with almost no economy and total firearm freedom. There's more to life than guns.

If it were me I would rather get the green needle then rot there till I died of old age. Weather I was wrongfully accused or not.
