For those, like me, that have never heard of "melting point law".

I know other terms used are junk gun laws and Saturday night special laws.

 

I didn't read it all, too long and wordy. So in other words if it melts easily it can't be purchased? Or if it's too expensive it will stay out of the hands of criminals? Kind of confused cuz either of those excuses won't change things.

What does change things? I don't think the pols thought they were changing anything but adding the usual eyewash.

 

What revolver if I may inquire?

 

Heritage Rough Rider 22LR/22 Mag 4.75" 6rd Cocobolo Grip Black Satin

 

:ack: Must be in the same categorie as ghost guns :leave:

 

Just like pretty much any gun laws, the quality of the materials won't reduce illegally obtained firearms. Think about the cost of cheap massively produced machine pistols for an example. Maybe it's an ingram mac 10, Maybe it's a polymer interdynamic kg9. As nfa machine guns, they will cost thousands of dollars to legally own on top of other fees and wait times for background checks. On the street, a couple hundred dollars at 3:00am on 5th and main behind the Chinese restaurant, and they'll throw in some hand reloads with steel cores. It's easier to get your hands on higher firepower illegally.

 

polymer guns like Glock would be illegal if this law was in NY wouldn't they?

 

The melt laws that I'm familiar with apply only to metal alloy components of the firearms, so Glocks would be fine.

 

I had to click on the link Robin provided my mind went straight to fondue for some reason.

 

I can't remember what I had for dinner 2 nights ago but I remember this little jem from over a year ago.

Buds wont ship Heritage, Cobra or Phoenix firearms to NY...in case that is where you're looking. Grab A Gun or others aren't so picky on what they ship when it comes to stupid **** like this.
