NYPD cracks down on long guns that hold more than five rounds

Not looking too good in NY. Looks like confiscation has begun in NY. I think California is doing similar shit. :wtf: This country sure isn't what I remembered as a youngster.

The New York City Police Department is taking aim at owners of shotguns and rifles capable of holding more than five rounds, demanding such guns be surrendered, altered or taken out of the city.

The demand came in the form of some 500 letters mailed out to owners of registered long guns that are in violation of a 2010 city ordinance. The first option for the letter's recipient is to, "Immediately surrender your Rifle and/or Shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter."

The notices, mailed Nov. 18, also give owners the options of demonstrating the gun has been moved out of NYPD jurisdiction or modified by a licensed gunsmith to comply with the law.

New York has the strictest gun laws in the country, and the city has even tighter restrictions. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, has made it a priority of his to pull illegal handguns off the streets and directly links these guns to violent crimes. But critics say the real problem is illegal handguns in the hands of criminals, not long guns owned by law-abiding citizens.

So mayor BumBerg made legal guns illegal and is now "taking them off the streets"  :wacko: So I guess if they can't go after the real criminals they manufactured criminals out of law abiding citizens who REGISTERED their once legal guns and now are going after them. Spineless so-called leaders. They don't have the cajones to go after the real problem so to bolster their positions they go after sheep. :grrr:

Confiscation has begun in Kalifornia as well. If these states get away with this, how long before Hawaii is next? Senator Schatz is being bankrolled by Bloomberg. So you know it is going to come. Just a matter of time. I have already seen the TV ads attacking the Tea Party. Paid for by Bloomberg. Pitiful.  :( :( :(

I hope whoever is running against him really uses the Bloomberg contributions against him.  I recall reading that Bloomberg's involvement in the oppostion to the two recalls in Colorado actually worked against him.  People didn't like the fact that some bimbo 3000 miles away was sticking his nose in local affairs.  I can see the same types of ads that were used against Lingle where they kept saying she was helping mainland companies. 
It is what it is.

This is terrifying. The whole reason for registering firearms is for authorities to have a list to begin confiscations. That is an historical fact that's been repeated over and over.

I often wonder what would happen if the gun laws here became as Draconian.

Does anyone know if any lawsuits have been filed to contest that State's requirements for registration?

Perhaps we need to look into a possible ballot initiative that would do away with gun registration.

I don't foresee that happening. As long as the people are content with what they've got and I'm not referring to gun owners as we are not the majority or perceived to be - we won't have any change. Few people will realize that they traded security for freedoms.
