Could you add a few poll options? Do you have a different AR for every day of the week? And Do you have a different AR for every day of the Month? A few of us would have to click the latter
I had one - an S&W MP 15, with an Aimpoint PRO on top and I decided to get rid of it. NOT because I didn't like it, but rather because of where I live. In New York State, the so-called SAFE Act was passed two months after I purchased the rifle. In order to legally own it, I had to register the rifle with the New York State Police (the same goes for any handgun in NY). As the laws read here, the serial numbers of those firearms are part of the registration - no problem there. The other -and more totalitarian- aspect is that the act of registering with the authorities gives those authorities the "right" to visit the named premises at any time to verify that the firearms are "safely stored".As the title states, with quality AR15s at around the $399 mark (and that doesn't even seem to be rock bottom yet) it got me thinking, is there anyone left that doesn't already have at least one?
Cheers.
I don't recall safe-storage being part of the "SAFE" Act. I know they've talked about passing something like that for "SAFE" Act 2, but are you sure it's currently in effect?The other -and more totalitarian- aspect is that the act of registering with the authorities gives those authorities the "right" to visit the named premises at any time to verify that the firearms are "safely stored".
Yeppers, that's me. I bought the one I have the day before the election. But that wasn't all my fault, you know - the news media lied about who was going to win.Very interesting seeing some bought basically because the government doesn't want you to have them.
I have one, I've shot 30 rounds with it. It's my third AR, and my least favorite gun. I sold the other two because I didn't like them either.
To be perfectly honest the main reason I have it is because I got tired of being the only person I know that doesn't have one, the other reason I keep it is because one of my kids will want it when I'm splitting my guns off once I get to that point in life.
In my unpopular opinion, the AR15 is the most overrated rifle ever made.
I agree. That Fulton retro is the only AR on my wish list. Do to cost it is way down there. When everyone is shooting their ARs at the range I'll have a mosin, m1 carbine or shotgun. When they shoot their pistols I'll have a wheelgun. I'm an old soul I guess.Other than a retro style rifle like Fulton Armory offers I've never really had interest in them. Too many other cool designs out there just to buy what everyone else has and what you see at the range every day.
I currently dint have one( my son has mine) but if I had to go into battle tommorow I'd rather take my M1 Carbine or my SKS.
I don't have one. They were never really my thing, but I was starting to think I might get one "just because." Then our governor, Andrew "Il Duce" Cuomo, rammed the "SAFE" Act through the legislature and down our throats. I don't want one badly enough to endure the NY-legal abominations, so for now I'll just be content with my Saiga, Mini-14, SKS, and Garand.
It is definitely in effect for handguns, as it preceded the SAFE Act. When AR15 and clones are registered with the State Police, it is my understanding that they have the right to inspect for safe storage. - I could be mistaken on that, but I think it's the case.I don't recall safe-storage being part of the "SAFE" Act.

I did a little searching, and what I came up with is that some municipalities have safe storage laws, but there is no statewide law on it. This is from a 2016 article:It is definitely in effect for handguns, as it preceded the SAFE Act.

Albany joins Rochester, Buffalo, New York City and Westchester County among the communities with some version of a safe storage law on the books in New York as gun safety advocates continue to push for a statewide requirement named for Nicholas Naumkin, a 12-year-old Wilton boy slain by a playmate in 2010.
That law passed the Assembly last year but stalled in the state Senate.
