around 9 months ago kathleen rice executed 9 arrests in 4 nassau county gunshops as the result of an undercover investigation into illegal assault rifle sales. She claimed that guns that where sold to undercover officers could be readily converted to auto killing assault style simply by unpinning the stock, this made them specificly for assaulting and not hunting.
the quirk for those not familiar with the particulars of NYS AWB is that law enforcement and peace officers are allowed to have "the evil rifles". Now keep in mind LE were the ones who purchased BAN COMPLIANT rifles as part of this sting. Even if the officers then converted to a collapsible stock (which they were not sold as, infact one gun store owner warned them that if the pin was removed it would result in big trouble) would still be legal after the conversion (remember its LE officers who now own these rifles).
these arrests seem like the perfect oppertunity to get the NYS AWB repealed. if a lawyer layed out three 3 AR15s on a table, 1 with a pinned closed stock, 1 with a pinned opened stock, and one with a real collapsible stock... we would then plainly in easy terms explain how rediculous this law is
