Today I walked in the local Dicks where I saw Rem R-15 and R-25, don't they fall under assault riffles and should be banned? Or something changed with the laws and I didn't catch it, last time I checked NY State term for assault weapon is next:
A semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following characteristics:
* a folding or telescoping stock
* a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the actionof the weapon
* a bayonet mount
* a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
* a grenade launcher
* Any of the weapons, or functioning frames or receivers of such weapons, or copies or duplicates of such weapons, in any caliber, known as:
o Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs (All Models)
o Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil
o Beretta Ar70 (SC-70)
o Colt AR-15
o Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC
o SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12
o Steyr AUG
o INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22
o revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to) the Street Sweeper and Striker
So is it safe to get one in NY State?
