The law is written in a way that it can be interpreted differently by people with different agendas. The task is not to get around the law, it is to remove it along with F U A C.
So true. Right now, many are letting the NYSP - presumably working with legal guidance - set that agenda.

For example, DD's Ranch, in Alden, is selling new ARs, and will retrofit your existing ones, by spot-welding the magazine in place. From their website:

"This system has been approved by New York State. It is New York State legal because it has a fixed 10 round magazine and is a top loader. New York does not consider this rifle an assault weapon and therefor is transferable and does not need to be registered."

They tell me that they are doing it this way because it has been directly sanctioned by the NYSP. In other words, you don't have to fear prosecution if you comply in this manner. Does this mean this is the only way to comply with the law? Sure doesn't read that way to most of us. But until a non-sanctioned method is judged legal in court, you run the risk of being the test case...and all the joy that comes with that.

The truth is, nothing is safe when the ultimate aim of the left is the total elimination of privately owned firearms in America.

My prebans were legal yesterday, today they're not.

A welded mag is legal today.

Tomorrow?

We do not "spot weld" the magazine in, we have a modified magazine catch that renders the magazine permanent
Sorry for my technical confusion, it was pretty busy around your table at the gun show! Either way, I thought you had a pretty good solution under the current miserable circumstances, one that could give some folks peace of mind...at least for now.
