Good morning,
I wanted to bring to light some thoughts that you are not going to hear from the mainstream media, you are not going to hear from politicians on either side fighting for votes, and you aren't going to hear from NRA or other gun groups urging membership.
Please consider the following as simply a thought requiring further analysis, and not legal advice. We are not lawyers and frankly, we are all hearing a lot of information as "fact" that could potentially only be furthering someone's agenda.
I believe you can still buy, register, build, and use AR-15s in New York. New. Post-"ban". (Granted, availability of parts is a whole another issue)
Those interested can review the legal technical mumbo jumbo on their own, but basically-
If you buy a stripped lower for a AR-15 platform, and equip it appropriately without any of the banned features, it is possible to complete your build and newly purchase, register, and build an AR. There is no explicit blanket ban on the AR-15.
So, for example- pistol grip is a banned feature. Substitute instead with a monster man grip, kydex wrap, hammerhead stock..etc No collapse-able stock..etc This is what makes the Mini 14 still legal and sold at shops.
Anyways, I thought it was important to express this point of view because the politicians are saying, AR-15s are banned, the media is saying they are banned. Even the NY gun hotline says "no, they are banned" and perhaps that is just the perception because 99% of them have these banned features, but that does not have to be the case as new customers look to build their guns. I thought my dream of owning an AR-15 was over after the SAFE act was passed, but it does not appear to be the case at all! Also, noted, it does seriously restrict my options because most all complete package AR-15s will have banned features, but hey, at least there is a way. Your thoughts?
