In 2000, the New York State legislature passed (and RINO Governor George Pataki signed) a state AWB that simply mirrored the 1994 federal AWB (including grandfathering pre-13Sept1994 "assault weapons"), but without an expiry date.
This year, the same people in the NYS legislature have been attempting to pass an even stricter state AWB. (One "evil" feature and a detachable magazine = "assault weapon".) Owners of AWs would be required to either 1) render them unusable; 2) surrender them to the state police; or 3) register them, get them ballistically "fingerprinted" and get a permit to own them.
These members of the NYS legislature seem to delight in making law-abiding gunowners feel unwelcome. And this is before we start talking about Babylon-on-the-Hudson (ie, NYC).
A word to the wise: in 2008, do not trust ANY Republicrat politician from (or representing) New York State.
